Get ready for a candid episode that spills the beans on the costly mistakes we made during our 1,200 mile cross-country U.S. road trip which spanned ten states.

From unexpected car rental trouble to expensive tolls, skip the pitfalls and make your U.S. road trip one to remember without the financial setbacks.

This episode is made possible with the support of International Driving Authority (IDA https://idaoffice.org/). If you are planning to travel abroad, apply for an international driving permit from the IDA. By translating your drivers license to 70 languages, it's a simple and affordable way to ensure you can drive safely and legally in foreign countries.
