Whether you come to us with a fixed itinerary with exact dates, a rough idea of what you would like to see and do, or a completely blank canvas hoping for inspiration, our travel consultants will happily explore the options with you.

To help you get started, we have carefully mapped out some of our most popular routes, however all our fly drive itineraries are completely flexible and can easily be modified to better suit your needs.

In fact, it is quite rare for our client’s journey to match our suggested itineraries exactly. There will almost always be adjustments made to reflect personal preferences - perhaps extra nights added at the end of your road trip for additional downtime, a few more days in your arrival city to enjoy your surroundings and adjust to your new climate, or extra stops to experience unique properties along the way.

By discussing your likes, interests, and even dislikes with our consultants, they will have a clearer picture of the sort of trip you are looking for and can make thoughtful suggestions to help plan your perfect fly drive holiday.

Every traveller is different, and your fly drive holiday should move at a pace that feels right for you. Some prefer leisurely days with plenty of time to enjoy scenic drives, explore local towns, or relax at their chosen stops. Others like a more fast-moving itinerary, covering more ground and experiencing as much as possible along the way. There is no right or wrong way to travel - only the way that suits you best.

Our travel consultants will help you strike the perfect balance, by discussing your preferences and ensuring your journey includes suitable driving distances for you, well-timed stops, and opportunities to slow down or speed up as you wish. Our suggested itineraries have been designed with comfortable drive times in mind, but you’re free to shape these road trips to match your ideal rhythm.

All our consultants have access to excellent route-mapping software to help plan your journey exactly as you envision it. Using this technology and their travel expertise, they can talk you through drive times and routes, working with you to create the perfect pace for your trip.

When it comes to selecting the right car for your fly drive holiday, it is wise to think beyond simply getting from A to B. Your vehicle will be your constant companion throughout the journey, so comfort, space, and practicality should all play a part in your decision making.

Consider the number of people travelling, how much luggage you will have, and how comfortable you want to be on longer drives. A little extra space can make a big difference, especially if you’re covering substantial distances or travelling with family - ensuring that everyone has room to relax and that all luggage can be safely secured in the boot. If you plan to make stops along the way, it is also safer to have your belongings stored out of sight.

Selecting the right car will contribute to a smoother and more enjoyable road trip experience. Our travel consultants will guide you through the available options, helping you choose a vehicle that suits your travel style, budget, and route. Whether you prefer a compact car for city exploring, or an SUV for added space and comfort. They’ll also advise on practical details such as one-way fees and the most convenient collection time and location. As some cities are best explored on foot, we may recommend collecting your car once you’re ready to hit the open road.

Where possible, we aim to include the most comprehensive car insurance available. Our consultants will explain the insurance options in your chosen destination, giving you valuable peace of mind as you explore.

The right hotels can transform your journey, offering comfort, convenience, and a touch of local character at every stop. Using our vast selection of accommodation options, our travel consultants will help you select hotels that complement your itinerary, ensuring you have the perfect base after each day of exploring. They will talk you through the location, amenities, and style of each property to find the best accommodation to suit your needs, paying careful attention to even the small details, such as local parking charges or resort fees - especially common in USA- to make sure there are no hidden surprises on your journey.

While some travellers prefer a comfortable, no-frills base on their fly drive holidays - placing greater emphasis on the journey itself - others enjoy a touch of luxury or character. Whether you prefer a quirky boutique full of charm, apartment-style accommodation ideal for families and groups, or a swimming pool at every stop, we offer plenty of thoughtfully selected options - along with negotiated preferential rates for great value. 

Because every fly drive holiday we create is uniquely tailored to you, you’re free to mix and match your accommodation. Spend most of your trip in simple, functional hotels, then treat yourself to a luxury lodge for a night or two - it’s completely up to you. Whatever your travel style, we’ll help you build a collection of stays that enhances your journey from start to finish.

One of the greatest advantages of a fly drive holiday is the opportunity to discover authentic local experiences that you might otherwise miss. To help you truly connect with the places you visit, we offer a wide range of unmissable activities across the world. Many offer front-of-the-line access or benefit from discounted rates, they also guarantee your entry to some of the most popular sites -ensuring you don’t miss anything on your wishlist.

Our travel consultants can suggest experiences tailored to your interests and, using their destination knowledge, advise which ones are best to secure ahead of time - whether that’s visiting historic sites, venturing into the wilderness with an expert guide in search of local wildlife, or sampling regional specialities on foodie adventures. These personal touches will add depth to your journey and help bring your itinerary to life.
