Head out on the highway. Get your kicks, off Route 66. Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses. Route 66, often called “The Mother Road” and the “Main Street of America,” is a desirable driving route because it offers a unique journey through the heart of American history, nostalgia, and classic roadside culture that modern interstate highways have bypassed. It’s not just a road; it’s a 2,448-mile-long time capsule stretching across eight states from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California. Route 66 is deeply woven into the American narrative, representing major themes of mobility and the pursuit of opportunity. Some may be gone, but others still exist. Also, when you hire a car, you can experience it literally up close and personal. Watch the video above courtesy of Nic and Jo.
