Who can deny the freedom afforded by a touring holiday in Europe? The open roads, the ability to stop at every gob-smacking viewpoint, café or restaurant; choosing your overnight stops as you go and changing route plans as you wish - these are all advantages of touring Europe in your own car, caravan or camper.
Imagine the ability to re-route your holiday as thunder storms approach the South of France to detour towards Barcelona and the Spanish sun; or extend your journey through Munich and on to Salzburg just because you can. My wife and I once drove from Apeloorn, where we had been working, into Munster and then to Dortmund where I was born, just because we had a few days free and wanted to see some of Germany and taste some good German food.
I would much rather drive into Europe than fly or take the train, although I have done both and enjoyed Eurostar and the European flights from England - it's just that driving allows you to pack more (including the fishing tackle) and allow for contingencies. I also think it can be cheaper to drive and find your own accommodation at prices you can afford. The same with restaurants and your itinerary.
Yet, whilst budgeting may be important, please do not scrimp on Breakdown Cover or European Travel Insurance. Remember, too to take your EHIC card - more on that HERE
Breakdown cover for your vehicle is as essential as ensuring that you are your family are covered for accidents and health issues while abroad. The cost of recovering a vehicle from Europe to the UK can be exorbitant as can car repair costs when you include accommodation for all the family - don't be caught out - it can be very reasonable to cover your vehicle for a two week tour.
