The website for discount car rentals has revolutionized our travels while digital nomading around the world, and it's been especially helpful when we need one-way travel between family members in the Southeast. So we went to our go-to for one-way journeys: AutoSlash. We quickly confirmed that airfare for the short hop was absurd - both in miles and cash. Why did we go Greyhound?įirst, we checked our usual options. So when Greyhound turned out to be our best option on paper between Atlanta and Birmingham, Alabama over Memorial Day weekend, we decided to give it a try.

We are veterans of Flixbus (in Europe and the US) and Megabus, but we'd never considered Greyhound - perhaps because most Americans have little positive to say about this decades-old, low-cost option for intercity travel. We have driven an RV around the US and taken tuk tuks through Thailand. We have flown the best business-class service in the air and a low-cost airline within Pakistan.

We have been aboard high-speed trains in Europe and Japan, a slow overnight train through Mongolia and Amtrak across the US. In our full-time travels around the world, Katie and I have experienced most forms of transportation. Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available.
