Great Escapes: Road trips

The world's finest self-drive holidays

Tailor-made self-drive holidays

Content

A road trip offers one of the most rewarding ways to discover a destination, combining the freedom to travel at your own pace with the opportunity to explore places beyond the usual tourist trail. With expertly planned routes, handpicked accommodation and local insights throughout, our tailor-made driving holidays take care of the details while leaving plenty of room for independent exploration.

Below, you’ll find some of Europe’s most popular self-drive destinations, from the cultural treasures and dramatic landscapes of Italy to the diverse scenery and rich history of Spain, as well as the sun-soaked roads of Portugal. We also feature lesser-known gems such as Luxembourg, where historic towns, picturesque valleys and fairytale castles await.

Further afield, discover unforgettable adventures across Canada’s spectacular provinces, coastal drives through Australia and breathtaking mountain routes in New Zealand. We also showcase some of Southern Africa’s most iconic self-drive destinations and head to the USA, the spiritual home of the road trip. Whether your interests lie in scenery, wildlife, culture or adventure, these itineraries offer the perfect blend of flexibility, comfort and discovery
