Tips for Renting a Car in Europe

Renting a car in Europe may seem a bit daunting.

But it doesn’t have to be.

Yes, there is really good public transportation throughout a lot of Europe.

However there are some countries or regions where the trains or busses aren’t so good.

So hiring a car might be a better option.

Or maybe you just want the flexibility of having a car to go where you want and when you want.

I know I love exploring the ‘nooks and crannies’ of destinations so renting a car in Europe is a must for me most of the time.

If you’ve been afraid or unsure or how to go about renting a car in Europe or simply need a few tips, then tune into the episode.

Plus I’ll offer up some tips on actually driving in Europe.
