Hiring a Car in Europe
By traveltripz on May 12, 2007 in Italy, Florence
When we were in Europe we rented a care for a few days in Florence. Everyone kept telling us that we were brave to drive around in Italy as they are all madmen on the road but we found the opposite actually. Well perhaps they are a little mad on the roads but we found that they are actually very good drivers.
We drove from Florence to Sienna in a little Smart Car. Anyone who has seen a Smart Car knows how small they are but it was perfect for what we wanted and a lot of fun.
We recommend that anyone visiting Europe should hire a car for at least some portion of the trip. It’s a fantastic experience.
The best way we found is to book before you leave. This way the car is already ready for you and you don’t have the problem of finding no cars available for you on the day. Auto Europe is a company that offers discount car hire. I had a quick look at their site and it has a nice clean interface and an easy form to select the country and dates you will need the car. It also allows pick up and drop off points and you can select whether you want a manual or automatic.
What I like about this site is that you can also book your hotels and flights, chauffeur services and transfers. And if you think you will be needing a car for an extended period in Europe try out their Peugeot buy back scheme. This could save you a lot of money.
