Features of travel on your own and on a rented car abroad

Vacation planning typically requires careful selection of destination and route, taking into account the interests of all participants. Preferences may vary greatly, whether it's a group of friends, a family with children, or a solo traveler. But everyone shares the desire for freedom of movement and the opportunity to explore the country independently, stopping wherever and whenever they please, without depending on a group or guide.

Traveling in a Rental Car
