I couldn't imagine a holiday without my own rental car. There are so many amazing holiday locations I'd never have found without a car. One of my discoveries is Agios Nikita Villas on the Greek island of Lefkada. After passing the pretty little town of Agios Nikita, a small mountain road took me a further 1.5 kilometres into the mountains, where I came across a little orange house. Set between trees, with a private pool and a view of the sea below it was just what I was hoping to find: small-scale, quiet and breathtakingly beautiful.

Wherever I stay, I always ask the owners to let me in on their locals’ secrets about the surroundings. In
Ibiza,I found a wonderful spot to watch the sunset, thanks to my rental car. Similarly, I found the prettiest hidden beaches in
Sardinia, this way. When I decided to share my travel experiences with others, one thing I knew for sure was that I wanted to include a rental car. There’s nothing like the ultimate sense of freedom a car can give you while you’re away from daily life and the crowds. And isn't that what we all want?
