What Is Unlimited Mileage and Limited Mileage?

On every car rental, there is either unlimited or limited mileage. But what are those in actual and what is their purpose? In Limited Mileage, you are only given a specific number of miles/kms to drive. Hence you are limited to a specific amount of usage. This comes in handy when you have planned a one day or two-day trip. Greater the mileage, higher the price; that is why having limited mileage can help you save money along with completing your needs.

Which one is a better option?

But if you are somewhere in between, then inspect the rates, the distance you need to travel, the number of days you need to rent, total costs, etc. Once done with it, compare both of them to check the difference. If it is insignificant, go for unlimited mileage as it always has more benefits.
