One Weekend, One Rental Car: How We Would Actually Use It
Palm Springs is easy to navigate with rideshares, but if you've got a rental car for a weekend, we'd use it intentionally instead of letting it sit in the driveway.
Our experience
In town, we still prefer Ubers to dinners and bars to avoid parking and to enjoy drinks. With wheels, we'd dedicate one day to leaving the valley — Temecula wine country is a perfect 'we're not in the desert anymore' contrast, and it's a completely different texture of Southern California. The other days, we'd keep the car parked: walking, biking, and rideshares keep the trip feeling relaxed instead of like a driving marathon.
