Some vacations don’t require a rental car. Then there are other times when you want to get out and explore. Like when we rented a car during our recent trip to Seattle to travel across Puget sound, up the Olympic peninsula to the Olympic National Park. No matter what reason you have to rent a car, there is one thing for sure, you can earn a ton of points and miles renting one.
