here’s nothing quite like getting out on the open road – windows down, music playing and ever-changing landscapes streaming
before your eyes – as you motor from one unknown place to the next. Which is why a self-drive is an excellent option for clients after an independent holiday where they can explore at their own pace, discover little-known treasures and make up for lost time by ticking off several places in one big trip – all while remaining in the safety of their own socially-distanced bubble. Whether your clients are seeking a driving holiday
straight from the UK or a fly-drive that’ll take them off the beaten track, we’ve put together a guide to some of the best itineraries across Europe that will get them back out on the open road again.
BEST FOR . . . GETTING OFF THE BEATEN TRACK Where: Germany Why: Christmas markets, Rhine cruises and city breaks might spring to mind when you think of Germany, but a self-drive gives clients the chance to dig a little deeper. Fred Holidays reservations manager Jan Alexander recommends a six-night German Fairytale Route that meanders from Frankfurt up to Bremen, with highlights including Marburg, a castle-topped university town; Kassel, home to a baroque palace; and Hamelin, a medieval town in Lower Saxony that’s the origin of the Pied Piper tale. Book it: From £699, including accommodation, car rental and return flights. It can also be tailor-made for clients wanting to drive their own car from the UK.
