Independent travel at its best.

As an independent traveller I can think of no better way to explore Europe other than by car. Leasing a brand new Peugeot 3008 gave us the flexibility to plan a holiday where we could go where we wanted, to usually arrive at the doorstep of our accommodation, and to head-off each morning according to our own schedule, rather than that of a bus or train timetable. Any country is much more than its big cities, so leasing the car also allowed us to travel the backroads, visiting smaller towns and communities, and accordingly, meet locals who were invariably friendly and helpful. Car leasing is not for everyone, but if you are up for the challenge, the scope for adventure and subsequent benefits are only limited by your own imagination. While driving on motorways and through cities in Europe can be daunting, the GPS installed in the Peugeot was excellent, taking much of the stress away, and alieveating the need for any physical maps. Certainly, my wife and I had far fewer "where the hell are we" experiences, than a simlar trip in 1995!
