Every car in our fleet includes 200 miles per day, so a car rental in Smyrna, GA gives you 200 miles for one day and 1400 for seven. Multiply your rental days by 200 to see your allowance. Miles past that are billed per mile.
Key takeaways
- Each of our three cars includes 200 miles per day, so a 3 day rental covers 600 included miles.
- Miles past the allowance are billed at $0.45 per mile on every car.
- A 7 day rental adds up to 1400 included miles, so longer trips get more room.
- Pickup and delivery details are confirmed on the booking page.
How many miles are included with each car?
Each car includes 200 miles per day. That is the same on the 2018 Toyota Corolla, the 2023 Hyundai Elantra and the 2024 Hyundai Tucson. The Corolla shows 200 miles, the Elantra shows 200 miles, and the Tucson shows 200 miles.
The allowance is per day, so it grows with every day you keep the car. One day gives you 200 miles. Two days give you 400. You do not need to guess at a total. Just multiply the days by 200.
The cars differ in daily rate, not in mileage. The Corolla is $50 a day, the Elantra is $60 a day, and the Tucson is $70 a day. Each car carries a $250 deposit, held on your card and separate from the rental total.
The table below puts every car side by side with its live rate, deposit, included miles and overage.
| Car | Base rate | Deposit | Included miles | Each extra mile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 Toyota Corolla | $50 per day; minimum 1 days | $250 | 200 a day | $0.45 |
| 2024 Hyundai Tucson | $70 per day; minimum 1 days | $250 | 200 a day | $0.45 |
| 2023 Hyundai Elantra | $60 per day; minimum 1 days | $250 | 200 a day | $0.45 |
A renter must be at least 21 to book any of these cars. Pickup and delivery details are confirmed on the booking page.
What happens if you drive past the included miles?
You pay for each extra mile at the overage rate. On all three cars that rate is $0.45 per mile. There is no flat penalty and no surprise formula.
The idea is simple. If your trip stays under your total allowance, you pay only the daily rate. If it goes over, the extra miles are billed one by one at $0.45 each. The Tucson uses the same $0.45 rate, so switching cars does not change how overage works.
The diagram below walks through the decision for the Corolla. Follow your expected miles against your allowance and you will see where overage starts.
The allowance is counted across the whole rental. Think of it as a pool of miles for your trip. Plan your total before you book, and you can decide whether to add a day or accept some overage.
How do the included miles add up over a longer rental?
They add up in a straight line. Each day adds another 200 miles to your pool, so a longer rental gives you more room.
Here is the math for 1 to 7 days:
- 1 day: 200 included miles
- 2 days: 400 included miles
- 3 days: 600 included miles
- 4 days: 800 included miles
- 5 days: 1000 included miles
- 6 days: 1200 included miles
- 7 days: 1400 included miles
So three days at 200 miles a day is 600 included miles. A week gives you 1400. Adding a day can be a smart move if your plans run long, since it adds 200 miles to the pool.
The chart below shows the Corolla's rental total over 1 to 7 days. In the cost chart's example, 50 extra miles a day are billed at $0.45 each, and the second line shows how that changes the total.
Which car suits a longer day of driving?
All three cars share the same 200 mile daily allowance, so the choice comes down to rate and the kind of car you want. If mileage is your main worry, none of them has an edge. Pick on comfort and price.
The 2018 Toyota Corolla is the lowest daily rate at $50. It is a silver sedan and suits a solo driver or a couple who want to keep the cost down. The 2023 Hyundai Elantra is a black sedan at $60 a day, a step up in model year for the same miles.
The 2024 Hyundai Tucson is the newest car in the fleet, a silver Hyundai at $70 a day. Choose it if you want the 2024 model year. Its overage is still $0.45 per mile, the same as the others.
For a long day of driving, check your expected miles against 200 first. If you may go over, the lowest daily rate leaves more room in the budget for those extra miles.
How do you plan a trip around the allowance?
Start with your days, then work backward to your miles. A short plan on paper saves you from overage later.
- Count the days you will keep the car.
- Multiply the days by 200 to get your included miles.
- Estimate your total driving for the whole trip, including errands near home.
- Compare the two numbers. If you are over, add a day or plan for $0.45 per extra mile.
- Pick the car that fits your budget and your comfort.
Track your odometer at the start and check it now and then. That keeps the total from sneaking up on you. Our fleet at 1 Alpha Charlie Car Rentals keeps the rules the same across all three cars, so the math never changes. Pickup and delivery details are confirmed on the booking page, so check there before you head out.
