Why hire a car for your next holiday?

If you're in the process of planning your next holiday, it's well worth considering whether you would like to hire a car in your chosen destination. There are many advantages to doing so, which you can find out more about with our quick guide.

One of the best reasons for hiring a car for your holiday is simply to enjoy the freedom of having your own wheels while you're away. Having a car to hand means you can explore as you please, and gives you greater scope to seek out those hidden gems and lesser-known spots that aren't as well served by public transport as the bigger attractions

Another good reason for hiring a car is that it can make family travel so much easier, and in so many ways. For instance, families typically have a larger amount of luggage to take away with them, which can include sizeable items such as buggies. These can be difficult to get from the airport to your accommodation, and then to haul around on public transport when sightseeing. Having your own car means you can fill up the boot and not have to worry about struggling. Plus, it also means you don't have to worry about shepherding the kids on and off public transport, while it's also very easy to just hop in the car and take them home whenever they get tired.

In addition, hiring a car means you can indulge in a road trip or two. After all, many holiday destinations have some truly excellent drives on offer - Italy's Amalfi Coast, for example - which you can of course only experience if you have a set of wheels to hand. And if scenic drives are high on your to-do list, you should be sure to look up potential options well before your trip to allow you to plan ahead and pick the best route!
