Fly-drives holidays in California

Many travellers dream of cruising down the open road on a California road trip, feeling the wind whip past and stopping at a classic roadside diner or lookout point. Driving holidays are the most authentic way to explore the west coast, allowing you to travel at your own pace and stop at exactly the landmarks that interest you.

There’s nothing quite like the appeal of self drive holidays, and who hasn’t dreamed of cruising Route 66 to its end point in Los Angeles, or the nearly 200 kilometres of the Pacific Coast Highway? Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur... these are some of the best places to visit in California, and they’re most easily visited by car.

Discover for yourself the rolling vineyards of northern California, with the freedom to make your own photos stops or impromptu picnic. Or, travel through Laguna Beach, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara and more to get a taste of southern California’s sun-drenched charms. If you’re interested in visiting any of the US National Parks in California, a vehicle of your own will let you get onto some of the smaller roads not frequented by tour coaches, and enjoy a truly bespoke travel experience.
