No Carpool Chaos for Beach Trips to the Outer Banks or Myrtle Beach

For most long-distance trips, booking three to four months out gives you the best vehicle selection and pricing. For high-demand dates — ACC Tournament weekends in March, Duke and NCCU graduation in May, beach season in June through August, and fall foliage weekends to Asheville in October — six months or more is strongly advised. Waiting until the last minute on peak dates almost always means higher rates and limited availability.
