Car Rental in the USA and Canada - Mileage Charges

Unless you are only going to be using a rental car for short distances in a local area, be sure to obtain unlimited mileage if at all possible.

Some car rental offers allow a certain number of miles to be driven each day or week, with additional miles incurring a very considerable extra cost. Remember that distances in the USA and Canada are enormous.

It is easy to obtain unlimited mileage car rental in the USA if it is pre-booked in the UK. Unlimited mileage car rental for Canada is somewhat more difficult to obtain and together with the higher costs of flight this may influence your choice of destination airport if you will be touring both countries.

Unlimited mileage rentals, although available, can be very difficult to find if you purchase car rental directly in the US or Canada.

I do not think it is possible to obtain unlimited mileage rentals on RV's (recreational vehicles, i.e. motorhomes/campervans) and the mileage charges for these vehicles are extremely high.
