For freer wheeling across the continent, this guide provides not only itineraries of roads, and hotels, and restaurants from country to country- but many other pointers- on what to buy, and see, and do, on laundry, tipping, sports, money, customs, etc. As to the car itself- it is better to bring your own (but there's a list of the drive yourself services) and information on licenses, gas, luggage, insurance, and the passage over. And whether it's to Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, or Scandinavia that you are going- or a grand tour that includes them all- you will be fully briefed and prepared.
