With beautiful landscapes, fairytale villages, and iconic cities, England is the perfect destination for a road trip! Driving around England and visiting some of the country’s most popular attractions can be a dream vacation for travellers. However, planning the perfect trip is easier said than done. It can take hours of research to create the ideal itinerary. You may need to book multiple tour tickets in a foreign currency, find suitable accommodations across England, and put together the most convenient driving route. Before you know it, that dream vacation is already beginning to feel quite stressful.
You may want to consider a self-drive tour. If you’ve never heard of it, a self-drive tour means you still travel independently with your friends or family, but local experts plan your entire vacation. We’re going to tell you about the benefits of a self-drive tour and why it might be the perfect solution for your vacation.
1. Expert Planning
With a self-drive tour of England, we take care of everything. We’ll sort your car rentals, book all your accommodations and tour tickets, and plan the best driving route to minimize time on the road. Instead of having to make multiple transactions and contact dozens of companies in different time zones, we arrange everything for you in advance. All you need to do is arrive in England, pick up your car, and start your vacation with the peace of mind that every single detail has been meticulously planned by local experts.
2. Tailored Itinerary by Local Experts
When travelling abroad, most people will search online to learn about the best attractions and locations. The internet is a great source of information, but there are countless special places you simply won’t find online. What about that 200-year-old country pub tucked away in a tiny village that doesn’t advertise itself? Or the picturesque market town that doesn’t get the same attention as tourist‑heavy cities?
That’s where an itinerary from local experts makes all the difference. We make sure you experience the unmissable locations like the Cotswolds and the Lake District, while also recommending off‑the‑beaten‑path treasures that guidebooks often skip.
3. 24/7 Support
Most of the time, people go on vacation without any problems, but sometimes unexpected issues can arise. Whether it’s a car problem, a health concern, or an issue with a hotel, having professional assistance can make all the difference. With a self-drive tour, you’ll have a dedicated local team on hand to assist with any issues or queries. We always hope this isn’t necessary, but it’s important to know you’re covered no matter what happens.
Next Steps
With a self‑drive tour, you’ll receive a personalized itinerary designed by local travel experts who know the country inside and out. Our tour planners will work with you to determine which attractions are must-sees for you and your general interests and travel style. This information will be used to create a personalized itinerary, including the most iconic English attractions and some hidden gems we think you’ll enjoy. Although the itinerary is planned in advance, you’ll still have the flexibility to decide how you spend each day. If you want to spend a little longer at a scenic viewpoint or make an impromptu stop in a charming town, you’re in complete control of every day.
