head bobbing [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: 2 chainz, his new album comes out next tuesday. i want to thank jane lynch, and pharrell williams, and "nightline" is next, thank you for joining us. good night.

tonight on "nightline," extreme heat tourism. see why tourists are going to the hottest places on earth and why not all of them are making it out alive. when you are traveling on a budget, renting a car can be maddening, we're going on a road race to get the best tips and what to watch out for so your wallet won't spin out of control. and with football season kicking off, athletes like tom brady are sharing more screen time with their lady love. why they are the new sports star. keep it right here, america,

from new york city, this is "nightline" with dan abrams. good evening, and thank you for joining us, extreme sports are increasingly going mainstream, with the adrenalin-inducing activities going main stream. but tomorrow, death valley is expected to reach 107 degrees, which seems less like a vacation spot and more like a wrong turn, so why are so many people going to these destinations? >> reporter: at this point, most of us are

in an entire day here, we met tourists from france. and switzerland. it is interesting that people would come here, like san francisco, maybe, los angeles, maybe, las vegas even, but death valley? >> they like it, it is so different. it is so different, there is nothing like that in europe. >> reporter: one couple we met is actually camping here. how have you held up? >> well, badly, the heat is killing me. >> she nearly fainted. >> yeah, we had a heat stroke. >> reporter: almost a badge of honor in this crowd. we met this family from germany. they are carefully keeping track of the temperature every time they get in the car. so basically, every time it reaches a new high you take a picture? very germanic? >> very german. >> reporter: this year for the first time, the national park service found it necessary to

produce an instructional video for tourists. >> we are in death valley national park and we're going to try to fry an egg in a skillet that has been out in the sun. >> reporter: showing how yes, it is possible to fry an egg in this heat. >> this proves you can fry an egg in the desert sun. >> reporter: but the park service asks everybody not to. >> every summer, somebody tries to fry an egg, but not to the volume this year, especially in the heat. just think about having hot, kind of gooey eggs in your house. it gets kind of gross when you consider the volume of eggs that people are trying to cook out here. >> reporter: death valley, as hot as it is, is just an appetizer for the tourists. true heat enjoyers head to the wave. not the sort most of us have in mind. no, this wave is bone dry, right in the middle of the arizona desert, a spectacular stretch of

sandstone, dating all the way back to the dinosaurs. here, with the water and shade it looks like you have landed on mars. >> i don't know anywhere else in the world that has this rock, and sand stone that looks like petrified rainbow. >> reporter: last year, 48,000 people applied for just 7300 day permits. nearly five out of six visitors turned away. >> and we got 18. >> reporter: just showing up is no guarantee you will get in. the park rangers grant just 20 permits a day, half of them snapped up six months in advance. the other half chosen by lottery by people who apply on the spot. >> everybody's heart rate just go up? >> reporter: today, 18 groups, about 60 people, are viing for

ten permits. >> if you are not prepared with the heat off the rock, it is very easy to get dehydrated. >> reporter: this summer, three people died, an elderly couple, overcome by the heat, and a 27-year-old woman from arizona who came here to celebrate her anniversary, and suffered a heart attack brought on by heat exhaustion. >> she was just too far, just too far into the heat. and it didn't help her. the rock formation is gorgeous, but not worth your life. >> reporter: which may explain why the bureau of land management explains it to everybody. >> it is why this is a round-trip over uneven terrain. >> reporter: to discourage you from visiting. >> has anyone told you to hike in the desert in the summer is often times not the most brilliant idea? >> reporter: after the death this summer, the blm is

stressing safety more than ever up front. they're planning to update the warning site and translate for vend visitors, but people are still allowed to visit, vicki mckaren and steven factor. >> i was surprised. we figured we would try every day, and keep coming back. >> reporter: they are from florida, and are avid hikers, they plan to take a gallon of water. >> we are planning to take two gps, that will stop us from getting lost. >> reporter: they agreed to take our camera along. hiking over the sand, there will be a lot of it. as he hiked up the unmanned trail. >> marking the notch, this is the way. >> reporter: a natural hot spot that they insist is worth it. >> now, you're going to 70 one

of the most magical places on earth. >> reporter: even with all the hassle of getting here. >> this is the site that people will absolutely risk their lives just to see. words don't describe the beauty of the spot. >> reporter: maybe, the heat tourists are onto something. remember that german family, keeping track of the temperature readings wherever they go. >> we'll make a present for you so you can take better pictures. there you go, that is for you. >> reporter: a souvenir for the extreme summer vacation. i'm david wright for "nightline," in death valley. when these people go back to work do they say i feel so refreshed? thanks, david, for that report. next, there are insurance fees and late fees, even early fees. when you rent a car, those charges can pile up. so we're digging in to see how you can keep the costs to a minimum. >> abc news "nightline," brought

renting a car can sometimes bring up the same fears as buying one. you constantly worry about being had, about the next guy getting the best deal, questions about where to rent, the gas, the late fees or even early fees. sometimes it seems there is no way to win if you're on a budget. so we set out to see if you could get taken for a ride. in our series ""nightline" for

the lookout". >> reporter: okay, let's talk about rental cars. somehow, a fairly simple task turns very complicated. >> two bucks more. >> can we just take the compact? >> reporter: and expensive, with each of the add-ones, the gas, insurance, and gps, these charges can reach into the hundreds if you're not careful. so three lookout jeeps, that three days, traveling over 500 miles, renting cars in between, finding the best ways to save cash when burning rubber. our adventure begins in the big easy. david estes runs a website that compares rental prices. >> i can't wait to rent a car. >> reporter: we split into teams and hit the road to find the answers to some of the most burning rental car questions. >> ready?

>> reporter: and with our hidden cameras strapped on? >> all right, guys, good luck. >> reporter: our first question, is it more cost-effective to rent at the airport or rent in town? i stay here and head straight for the avis counter. while i'm here, dave heads to the avis location downtown. >> we're heading to the avis downtown. >> reporter: so just to make it interesting, we send the producers downtown also. we make them take more for two a person, so which of us got the best deal? in the end, the taxi fare downtown was worth it. the base rise for my rental was $40 higher for the rental, and in addition, i had to pay for airport fees. david, our cool consumer, is watching closely with an eagle eye. >> that is seven dollars. >> i think i will have to come

back. >> that will be fine. >> reporter: our producers, meanwhile? >> i think it is better a half mile away. >> reporter: finally, they straggle in after spending an hour on the bus. they are forced to upgrade to a larger car because it was the only one left. >> i'll put you in this. >> reporter: but they still paid less than me, in fact, $80 less for the same car. fact number one, it is usually cheaper to rent outside the airport. with a couple of lessons learned, we head to the next stop. >> on the road again ♪ >> reporter: jackson, mississippi, the city where our next question was, doesn't really matter if you book in advance. >> we want to test if it is cheaper to book in advance. one of our teams booked ahead of time, i just booked ten minutes ago. and you haven't booked at all.

you're booking the exact same car to see if it will be cheaper. okay, here we are. we want to know if you have a car available. >> i can get this for you. >> you're very kind. how are you doing? >> how are you? >> booking under david estes, i booked just ten minutes ago. >> reporter: then the three teams gathered in the garage. all right, what did you get? >> i got 220? what did you get? >> 201. >> 279. >> does this make sense, or is this totally arbitrary? >> reporter: take away number two, putting my unbelievable luck aside, david says you will save the most money by booking as far in advance as possible. >> taking this one to the bank. >> reporter: another day, another rental car scenario. >> your car again. >> reporter: this time, our

caravan of tiny cars left for memphis, tennessee. >> we made it, in memphis, tennessee. >> reporter: we're there to ask our next question, what happens if you return a car very, very early or just a couple of hours late? >> i guarantee if you return your car, even just two or three hours late you will get charged a whole day. >> do you think you will get charged if you bring it back early? >> if you book it within a week and return it in two days i don't know what will happen. i'm really interested to see what happens there. >> reporter: so were we, all three teams head to the counter to rate identical cars, i will return my early, the producer shows up late, and david will be right on time. and just four hours later when i return my week-long rental i was slapped with a $20 fee for being early. when my producers dropped off their car two hours late, they were charged a ten dollar an

hour late fee, plus taxes. that is 60 bucks. david returns his car right on time and keeps his wallet closed. tip number three, dropping off early is usually better than dropping off late. but returning it when you say you willis the only sure-fire way to avoid the fees. all the driving and lessons learned, it is time to do a rental car math. we were charged different fees at the rental car company we visited. but you if we followed david's advice, we would have been charged only seven fees. if we used his tips every step of the way, pumping our own gas and paying the basic insurance fee, we would have saved $100 per rental. >> we have done three tests with the different rental companies, we survived the drive, the road trip, four different cities in two days, now we're going to let someone else drive for us.

taxi? >> nice, matt, thanks to matt gutman and the tip for that report. if you're like me and wondering whether to get the insurance, it is always a good idea to check with your credit card company first. you can get all the tips for the cheapest rental car at our website at abcnews/carrental. and next, in the public eye. , even get through the day. so i was honest with my doctor. i told her i'd been feeling stuck for a long time. she said that for some people, an antidepressant alone only helps so much and suggested we add abilify (aripiprazole). she said that by taking both, some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. i wish i'd talked to my doctor sooner. [ female announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if your depression worsens or you have unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking abilify

have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor if you have high fever, stiff muscles and confusion to address a possible life-threatening condition. or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with abilify and medicines like it and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. other risks include increased cholesterol, weight gain, decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious, dizziness on standing, seizures, trouble swallowing, and impaired judgment or motor skills. [ sally ] since adding abilify, i feel better. abilify and my antidepressant make a pretty good team. [ female announcer ] ask your doctor about a free trial of abilify and go to addabilify.com.
