CRX once offered the ultimate road trip opportunity — the American Road Trip Contest. This all-expenses-paid travel adventure sent two lucky car rental customers on a 14-day unscripted journey from Los Angeles to New York City, with a premium rental car and spending money along the way.
The Adventure
Winners were flown to Los Angeles, provided with a premium car rental, and set off on a 14-day cross-country road trip to NYC. Along the way, they checked in at a minimum of 10 CRX agencies, earning a $100 cash prize at each stop. A pre-paid credit card covered food and fuel for the entire journey.
How It Worked
- Entrants submitted a photo of themselves with their vehicle and a noteworthy landmark
- A short 100-word essay explained why they'd be the perfect CRX road trip representative
- Fans voted for their favorite entries, and a CRX jury selected the winner
- The winner needed to be social media savvy and prepared to share their experience regularly
The Prize Package
The lucky winner received transportation for two to Los Angeles, 14-night hotel accommodations, a 14-day premium car rental, a full food and drink allowance, and the chance to win up to $2,000 cash by checking in with CRX-associated agencies along the route.
While this contest has ended, the spirit of the American road trip lives on. There's never been a better time to plan your own cross-country adventure.
