Philadelphia, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/09/2015 -- Philadelphia has just earned the distinction of being the most expensive U.S. destination in which to rent a car.

CheapCarRental.net came to this conclusion after conducting a survey that compared the car rental rates of 50 destinations across the nation. The past 12 months served as the study period in determining the rankings.

In the City of Brotherly Love, car renters had to spend an average of $65 per day for the cheapest available rental car over the past year. Coming in a few dollars cheaper in the survey's second spot is New York City. Rounding out the top three, Detroit and Indianapolis share the survey's third spot at an average daily rate of $58.

It must mentioned that the rates are yearly average rates. This is an important distinction because rates fluctuate heavily in some destinations based on the season. Boston serves as a good case in point. There, a car could be snagged for less than $30 per day in early December. In comparison, a renter would have been unable to find a car for less than $80 during most of the month of August. Rates in Philadelphia have remained relatively stable, however, during the studied time period. Indeed, only rarely have car renters there paid less than $50 per day.

In contrast, Pittsburgh, the other Pennsylvanian destination considered by the survey, ranks in the survey's midfield. An average daily rental rate of $37 put it in the middle of the pack. Least expensive overall of all the destinations surveyed is Miami. In southern Florida's popular resort town, renters had to spend an average of only $20 per day to rent a car over the past year.

The following table shows the 10 most expensive U.S. car rental destinations. The prices shown reflect the average daily rate for the cheapest available rental car in each destination during the period spanning October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015.  Each city's main airport was chosen as the Pick-Up and Drop-Off location.

1. Philadelphia $65
2. New York $61
3. Detroit $58
4. Indianapolis $58
5. Austin $56
6. Charlotte $55
7. Cincinnati $53
8. St. Louis $53
9. Baltimore $52
10. Cleveland $52

According to the latest survey from CheapHotels.org, the Napa County city landed among the United States' most expensive destinations for travelers. In determining the rankings, the survey specifically looked at the lodging cost of all U.S. destinations during the month of April 2015.

That amount was then used to come up with the rankings. It must be pointed out that the survey focused exclusively on those hotels and inns that had a central location, had earned an overall rating of 2 stars or more and had garnered a positive average evaluation from previous guests.

In Calistoga, California, located in Napa County's wine region, visitors will have to spend an average of $176 per night for the least expensive double room. This price tag positions Calistoga among the nation's Top 10 most expensive spring destinations. Coming in ahead of it as the second and third most expensive locales are the Florida Keys' Islamorada and Key West. Average nightly rates of $203 and $219, respectively, pushed them into the number two and three slots.
