Following up from my dreamy birthday weekend in the Poconos—let’s talk transportation. Because as much as I love a good snowy cabin moment, let’s be real: getting out of the city can be… a whole thing.

Thankfully, we rented our car through Drivo and it was smooth sailing (or should I say smooth driving?) from the jump. No weird hidden fees, no long wait times, no dusty rental vibes. Just a sleek, clean ride that fit all our bags, snacks, and extra drama—all for under $50 pp for the weekend. Yup. She’s cute and cost-effective

*Why We Chose Drivo*
NYC girlies know the car rental game can be chaotic. But Drivo made it super easy to book online, pick up fast, and hit the road without any back-and-forth. They’ve got locations in Brooklyn, Newark, and near the airports—so whether you’re escaping the city or catching a flight, it’s giving *convenience*.
We picked ours up in Newark, NJ packed up the girls, and were off to the mountains in under an hour.

The Car Situation

We snagged an SUV that was spacious, clean, and winter-ready, which was key for the snowy Poconos roads. It had Bluetooth (obviously important for the playlist moments), heated seats (a game-changer), and the trunk space for five girls and their birthday essentials? Clutch.
The Car Ride – Reel

What We Loved:

Easy to navigate website + quick reservation system

No stress at pickup or drop off

Affordable rates that didn’t spike last minute

24/7 customer support (we didn’t need it, but still)

Clean cars that didn’t smell like a frat party

Would We Use Them Again?

Absolutely. Whether it’s another cabin trip, a beach weekend, or even a last-minute airport run, Drivo is now on my go-to list. They understood the assignment.

So if you’re planning a lil getaway soon—don’t sleep on the car situation. A cute cabin is only cute if you can actually get to it in one piece.

Bougie on a Budget
