Renting a Car for a Road Trip · 租车准备
basicHi, I want to rent a car for a week-long road trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back. What do you recommend?
你好,我想租车从洛杉矶到旧金山来回,一周的公路旅行。推荐什么车?
For a scenic road trip like that, I'd suggest an SUV or a midsize sedan. The SUV gives you more room for luggage and is great for the coastal highway.
那种风景公路旅行,我建议SUV或中型轿车。SUV空间大,走沿海公路很棒。
I'll take the SUV. Is there a mileage limit, or is it unlimited?
那就SUV。有里程限制吗?还是不限里程?
Our weekly rentals come with unlimited mileage. You'll only pay for gas. The SUV gets about 28 miles per gallon on the highway.
我们周租是不限里程的。你只需要付油费。这辆SUV高速大约每加仑28英里。
Do I need any special insurance for a long trip? I'm worried about breakdowns in remote areas.
长途旅行需要特别的保险吗?担心在偏远地区抛锚。

I recommend adding roadside assistance for $7 a day. It covers towing, flat tires, and lockouts anywhere in the state. Peace of mind on a long trip.
建议加每天7美元的道路救援。涵盖全州范围内的拖车、爆胎和锁车。长途旅行安心。
I'll add that. Can I drop the car off in San Francisco instead of bringing it back here?
加上。能在旧金山还车而不是开回来吗?
Yes, but there's a one-way drop-off fee of $150. If you bring it back here, there's no extra charge.
可以,但有150美元的异地还车费。如果开回来没有额外费用。
We'll bring it back then. What's the total cost for one week including insurance?
那我们开回来好了。一周加保险一共多少?
The SUV is $385 for the week, plus $49 for roadside assistance, plus $98 for the collision damage waiver. Total comes to $532 before tax.
SUV一周385美元,道路救援49美元,碰撞险98美元。税前总共532美元。
Route Planning Discussion · 路线规划讨论
intermediateSo, should we take the coastal route on Highway 1, or go through the inland highway? What do you think?
我们走1号公路沿海路线还是内陆高速?你觉得呢?
Highway 1 is way more scenic — the views are incredible. But it's a lot slower. The inland route saves about four hours.
1号公路风景好太多了——景色太美了。但慢很多。内陆高速省大约四个小时。
How about we take the coastal route going up and the faster route coming back? Best of both worlds.
去的时候走沿海,回来走快的?两全其美。
Love that idea. We should plan our stops too. Big Sur is a must-see, and Hearst Castle is worth a detour.
好主意。我们也规划一下停靠点。大苏尔必去,赫斯特城堡也值得绕路去看。
Do we need hotel reservations along the way, or can we just wing it?
沿途需要预订酒店吗?还是到了再说?
In summer, Big Sur and Monterey book up fast. I'd reserve those in advance. The other stops should be easy to find last-minute.
夏天大苏尔和蒙特雷很快订满。建议提前订那两个。其他站点临时找应该容易。
Should we bring a cooler with snacks and drinks, or just buy things along the way?
要带个冷藏箱装零食和饮料吗?还是沿路买?
Definitely bring a cooler. Some stretches of Highway 1 have no gas stations or stores for miles. Stock up before we leave.
一定要带。1号公路有些路段好几英里都没有加油站或商店。出发前备好。
Good call. Let's split the driving — I'll take the morning shifts and you take the afternoons. Deal?
好想法。轮流开——我开早上的,你开下午的。行吗?
Deal! Just make sure we're both listed as drivers on the rental agreement, or the insurance won't cover us.
行!但确保我们俩都列在租车协议的驾驶人上,不然保险不管。
