Tal y como señala el Diccionario panhsipánico de dudas, el término francés autostop se ha incorporado al español con las formas autostop y autoestop. Ambas resultan igualmente válidas, aunque sea más usual y recomendable la etimológica autostop. No son adecuadas, sin embargo, las adaptaciones auto-stop y auto stop. 2, record 1, Spanish, - hacer%20autostop
