Flexibility and freedom to explore with self drive breaks
A Self Drive holiday break across the channel gives you the freedom to explore your destination more closely and the opportunity to stock up on some great value wine, beer, food and souvenirs. It also allows you to take your golf clubs or more luggage with you - particularly useful when travelling with children. If you have a pet passport, it also means you can take your dog if the accommodation you are booking allows.
