The answer to this question mainly depends on the rental company and the type of rental agreement you have. Most rental companies have a policy that allows you to drive anywhere within a specific geographic area. The distance limit typically ranges from 100-150 miles per day, but can vary. If you exceed the agreed-upon mileage, you may face additional charges.<\/p>\n
