I recently have been looking for a rental with unlimited miles myself. Some car rentals like avis and budget advertise unlimited miles, but read the fine print. They often limit the so called "unlimited miles" to only a handful of states, with a 25 - 35 cent/mile surcharge for any miles outside of those states.

If you're doing a one-way rental (e.g., drive down and fly back), there will be a substantial one-way drop fee. Returning a car to the location you rented it from won't have that one-way fee.
Most companies give unlimited miles as long as you are traveling within or into adjoining states, and are returning the vehicle to the same location from whence you rented it. What you are talking about is a one-way rental, for which there is frequently a "drop" charge at the end, and sometimes a per-mile charge as well.

Be wary of taking a rental well outside of the state you rented it in. There is usually a steep price hike when they know it's for a road trip outside of the state (and bordering states) you rented it in. "Unlimited Miles" are usually void in this scenario, as "Unlimited Miles" only apply to the state in which you rent in (and bordering states with most agencies).
Read the fine print. "Unlimited" on most agreements say within the state you rented and contiguous states only (those states connected to it). If the rental company finds out you went further or checks the cars GPS, you will be charged so many cents per mile that you went out of that area, which will add up very quickly.
