Fiesta Santa Barbara, also know as Old Spanish Trail Days, is one of the largest equestrian parade per capita in the country. Held each year in August, the parade begins at the beach and progresses up State St. in the historic center of old Santa Barbara.

Whether you're spending the week at a beach destination with your family, driving across country with friends, or traveling for business, we rent cars for various reasons to help make our driving more convenient.  Here are things to remember to help make your car rental experience as smooth as can be.

And, I appreciate their well-made, well-designed, creative travel goods, and plan on incorporating these into our lives.
