Rental cars were $300 a day. So he rented a U-Haul for his honeymoon instead.

Some who already had purchased their flights found themselves with no choice but to spend a small fortune on their transportation. But others found creative solutions. Local U-Haul companies have reported that tourists have been renting their moving vehicles, which charge a low flat fee plus mileage, just to get to the beach.

I looked it up, and it was legit. You can only go X amount of miles, but I’m not on a very big island, so I was able to make it work. My wife is very, very easygoing. And she’s like, “Yeah, sure, what the hell, let’s do it.” And that’s what we did.I think I was one of the first to do it. I posted it on Twitter, and then after that, I started to see web articles. And then it started to really catch on. It became a legitimate news story about two to three weeks later.

We used the car for two days. I didn’t want to pay the $50 parking at our hotel, so I brought the car back in the evening. The next day, I just rented another one. The first day it was like driving a normal truck. And then the next day, we did have a van, which was the only thing that they had available. It wasn’t the big U-Haul moving van. But it was almost like a big van.It was literally like having a rental car. And it was fantastic.
