Choosing between a rental car and a ride-share app can change the cost, convenience, and even the pace of a vacation. The cheaper-looking option at the booking screen may not stay cheaper once parking, fuel, tolls, airport fees, and repeated rides enter the picture.
The right choice depends less on the destination’s reputation and more on how the trip actually works. A beach resort with restaurants clustered nearby creates a very different transportation problem than a national park with 40 miles between attractions.
