So i am 17 and i want to go see a friend in another state in a few months. She loves states away from me. What would probably be the best way to get there without spending a lot of money? If we drove, we'd have to get a rental car, if we flew i know it costs a bit for that. Im just not sure which would be better?

At 17, you cannot drive a rental car, much less rent one on your own. Since you are not a legal adult, you cannot sign the rental contract.

Look into Greyhound and see if it serves the cities you need.

Look at skyscanner.net and statravel.com they usually have the best flight deals.

Greyhound is pretty cheap to travel but it does get boring since a bus takes longer than a normal car. Look at greyhound.com

When I was your age I would travel with greyhound to visit my dad in another state since it was more convenient. Compare those options and see what works best for you. Consider that you'll be having to pay for food while you travel on bus or luggage check if you fly.

Good luck!

For rented a car you can check all about car rental services. You can get car on lease with cheapest cost from here.

I would say you rent a car with unlimited Mileage from firstclickcarhire.com

Thanks
