Rental Cars in Europe

 We do not mind tours that give us a good deal of free time, but even then we often rent a car and do or own exploring.
  So far (besides the United States) we have rented cars and driven in a number of countries:
(Canada)
Scotland
England
Ireland

Spain
Gribraltar
Portugal
Italy
Austria
Germany
Switzerland
Lichtenstein

  Bottom photo is of a tailgate picnic in a rented car in the Alps. A nice and relaxing time all alone. We often pack a lunch when driving and just find a nice place to sit and take in the scenery.

 We usually book our cars through Auto Europe - a broker - who finds us the best deal through a major carrier.
