Car Types For a Self-Drive Holiday

There are a number of different car types to choose from for a self-drive holiday. From the small economical car for those on a budget, to larger four wheel drive (4WD) vehicles for areas which have dirt roads.

Car types for a self-drive tour

If you undertake a self-drive holiday with Audley we will book your hire car(s) for the duration of your trip.

There are essentially four different types of vehicle from which to choose from:

  • Budget/economy - ideal for a couple who might be driving short distances.
  • Intermediate - probably the most common type requested and ideal for couples or families.
  • Large/luxury - for those who want to travel in more comfort or who have larger families.
  • 4WD - for those going on roads which are not always tarmac (see tips for self-drive holidays).

As well as cars we can arrange campervans/motor home vehicles. Most hire cars will be automatic but some small budget cars and many 4WD's can come with a manual gearbox.
