Similarly I was able to drive from Seattle to Vancouver, and on multiple occasions from LA to Vegas or from Vegas to LA (although this is domestically in the US - still one-way cross state lines). I believe the traffic in this areas is high enough for rental companies to be certain that there will be someone willing to take the car back soon enough. | |

Rental car companies need to balance car availability at each location, and if there's currently an excess at your destination, then the company may need to "deadhead" your car to another location, which is an extra expense they'll work into the price. In contrast, if there's an excess at your start and a deficiency at your destination, you might effectively get a discount, as they now don't need to pay an employee to make the transfer. | |
