question help: Question about hitchiking… - Help.com

Mapquest or Google Maps will tell you driving times, but guys and older people and (maybe) groups will spend more time waiting. Try craigslist Rideshare.

I have gone from Utah to LA more than once.

Are you in Portland?

Wish I could help more. But check out Priceline’s Name Your Own Price. With 40% off, its usually cheaper than a bus ticket. I highly recommend it.

And if you are female, I’d say don’t do it, but I’m sure you know the risks, so… yadda yadda yadda.

Buy a Greyhound bus ticket. If you hitchhike, you could end up dead. It’s a little known fact that 50,000 people in the USA disappear every year. And 3,000 bodies are found. Hitchhiking is just flat not worth the risk.

Hitchhiking would be a pretty dumb thing to do I’d pay for a trip somehow

Priceline can be cheaper than Greyhound with 40% off. Research their round trip tickets, then deduct 40% off the listed price.

Okay, I checked. Greyhound RT from Eugene to San Diego would be $300. Priceline is $250.

And the odds are 1,000 percent better that you will arrive alive!

Well… maybe not on a Greyhound… but yes, definitely a better idea than hitchhiking.
