Self-Drive

Expert Planning

No one knows this part of the world better than us. Our staff has lived and worked in the region, so we are uniquely positioned to make your trip perfect. We can craft the perfect self-drive itinerary to fit your taste, pace and budget. Want to have something planned with our expert guides every day? It’s no problem! Do you prefer more independence? We can introduce you to the essentials of each city and give you suggestions of what to do on your own. Just plug in your Exeter pre-programmed GPS and let your adventure begin

Hit the Road and let us be your copilot!

Imagine picking up your rental car, plugging in your Garmin navigation system and hitting the button for your first destination – already loaded into your system. Make a wrong turn? Don’t like the road that the Garmin has chosen? Just keep on driving and pick a new route. Garmin will get you back on track and headed to your intended destination immediately. We will have all your destinations pre-set in your Garmin, so you can’t get lost! Every Exeter program comes with the use of our Garmin or you may send us your own GPS to pre-load.

How does it work?

Self-driving can be stressful … but it doesn’t have to be. The answer lies with Exeter International’s self-drive programs – independent driving tours through Croatia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany, Austria, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Norway. We take 100% of the stress out of self-driving. Work hand in hand with our destination experts to create the perfect itinerary and then wait for your pre-programmed GPS to arrive at your door BEFORE you leave home. You’ll have a local 24-hour, English-speaking contact number to call in case of any problems once you start your journey.

24-hour local support

Our offices throughout Central and Eastern Europe will be ready to help you at any time in case of an emergency – or if you simply have a question about your trip. Rest assured that you are not alone, even when driving across Europe’s most remote regions.

Where to?

The charming villages of Bohemia, Hungary, Germany, Austria, Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Norway are now accessible. The options are limitless, but some of our most popular self-drive combinations are: Croatia and Slovenia, Prague to Budapest; Austria and Slovakia; Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius; Berlin, Dresden and Prague and the Norwegian countryside. Driving your own car gives you the freedom to explore even the smallest towns and villages at a price that is very affordable. By exploring with your own car, you can omit the cost of hiring a private driver (and his or her accommodations and meals).

Value

Hiring a private car and driver in Europe can be expensive, but rental car rates for self-drive itineraries offer extraordinary value in comparison. We are experts in finding the best value car rentals, no matter the country or the route.
