Benefits of a Self-Drive Holiday

Benefits of a self-drive tour

One of the drawbacks of an organised tour is being shunted along with lots of other people to tourist attractions but then only having a limited amount of time to appreciate them, or spending time in the confined quarters of a coach, bus or train with people you have little or nothing in common with.

We highlight a few simple reasons why you should consider a self-drive holiday as an alternative to the normal way you travel.

The benefits of a self-drive holiday

• The overall pace of the holiday is decided by you.
• Regardless of the car type you choose, you have the total freedom and flexibility to get to places off-the-beaten-track, and then spend as much time as you want there.
• You can enjoy greater comfort and privacy.
• The countries we recommend self-drive in generally have excellent road networks so getting around should pose no problem.
• Our specialists will have driven the route and will have visited the accommodation so you can be sure what they are recommending is based on first-hand knowledge. They even provide you with detailed notes of these trips, giving directions, distances and any other relevant information such as nearby sights of interest. As a back-up we even provide a road map with your hire car in case you do get lost (don't forget to read our tips for a self-drive holiday). 
• It's all very easy! Audley can arrange all aspects of your self-drive holiday, including flights, accommodation and car rental. All you need do is turn up at the airport.
