Many people forget what wonderful sights Europe has to offer. From beautiful coasts to stunning mountains, there are some of the most amazing views in the world on offer. However, one reason many people forget about such sights is package holidays. You know the feeling, you go into a travel agents, ask for a week in the sun, get the flights, hotel and transfers sorted and then spend the next week not leaving the resort.
This is all well and good for some holidays, but now and again people want to explore. Day trips from many holiday resorts are usually very overpriced, and may not be going to the destination you want to visit anyway. Relying on tour leaders means stopping where, and when they want to.
A solution that more and more people are taking up is car hire. We’ve all seen the companies advertising when we get off the plane, but is it a good idea?
The answer in most cases is an overwhelming yes. Especially as there are more and more cheap car hire companies doing great deals, this can be a very economical way to travel. Most car hire companies will have booths within the airport, meaning you can pick the car up there and then and drive off to your accommodation.
There are many countries where some of the most beautiful sights are very hard to get to without one. Plitvice Lakes in Croatia are often named as one of the top ten European attractions, but it can be very hard to take buses to them, with stories often including tourists stranded at the lakes as the public buses were too full.
In order to take advantage of all the amazing things Europe has to see and do, have a browse of some of the cheap car hire sites out there. You may be surprised by how little they cost.
