  • Wir waren im Juni zwei Wochen mit dem Auto in Schottland unterwegs. […] Der permanente direkte Kontakt per WhatsApp hat uns stets das Gefühl gegeben, nicht ‚alleine‘ unterwegs zu sein.

Before you enquire

The questions we hear most often before a journey.

What does a round trip cost?

Every route shows its price – our Highlands, Skye & St Andrews journey, for example, from €2,000 pp for 10 days. It includes accommodation with breakfast, the hire car, ferries as per the itinerary and our local partner, but not international flights. You pay a 40% deposit – only once you confirm.

What about the hire car?

The hire car is part of the journey – on Highlands, Skye & St Andrews an automatic, mid-size, fully comprehensive with no excess; we order child seats too. You can usually drive from age 21 with a valid EU licence, and the main driver needs a credit card for the deposit.

Is driving on the left difficult?

Most people get used to it on the first day. That’s why we keep the first stage short and book an automatic – no shifting gears with your left hand.

When is the best time to travel?

Our routes run from April to October. May to September gives you the longest days; spring and autumn are quieter.

Do I have to book straight away?

No. You enquire without obligation and receive a personal offer. Nothing is booked until you confirm – and enquiring costs nothing.
