personally i will take neither and find something else. i wont want to take 9hrs straight in coach, but i also dont want to drive for 3hrs after a long flight. also, when you said it is the same price, have you factored in the cost for the car rental/uber/lyft or parking at the airport? if youre renting a car, since you arrive mid afternoon, you could be cutting it very close to make it before the car rental closes for the day, so you likely still have to go to return it tomorrow. and then you also have to factor in the transport back to your home. very inconvenient. if someone is picking you up, that's a 6h drive; no-go for me
