    I always say that a vacation is a well-deserved reward after a busy work schedule and a busy life. I always rent a car on vacation, because I like to explore new cities and architecture on my own, drive the roads of a new city. I was recently in Pittsburgh and rented a car from this link. While many parts of the city can be explored on foot, you’ll need a car to learn more about Pittsburgh’s history and culture.
