My mil did Route 66 a few years back (Chicago to LA) Make sure to have a good search for car hire as most charge massive fees for the one way hire.

Hi think you need to look at this in a different way. Have a look at the route and what is close to it that you would like to see . Then work out your days around this and travel times.

Will do but just want some ideas of must sees and decent/safe places to stay as havent a clue, always prefer recommendations especially when going into unknown territory, did 3wks west coast trip 4yrs ago but all hotels were booked from recommendations on here n I'm pleased cos some places looked quite dodgy n wouldnt have wanted to stay there

California and Nevada don’t have one way drop off fees for most car rentals, but I think most do for California to Chicago.
I have heard very different stories about how enjoyable it is or isn’t doing it! If you like a lot of driving (I don’t) I’m sure you’ll be ok. There have been some good trip reports but I would take great care to check what is still open as I believe many original obvious stops are less all the time

I had a look at this last year, Hertz wanted $700 one way drop off fee whilst Alamo was slightly cheaper at $500

I've been looking for our road trip next year through BA flights and car hire. Its worked out £200 pp cheaper to fly into Lax and out of chicago than the other way around? Just do a custom booking and you can put where you pick up and drop off car hire. Its not as expensive as I thought tbh.

We also did detours to Vegas ,monument valley and lake havasu .
