Renting a car
Comparison sites such as DiscoverCars, EconomyBookings and Auto Europe search many rental companies at once. Compare the full price including insurance, check the fuel policy (full-to-full is usually the fairest) and note the deposit the rental desk will hold on your card.
Some countries require an International Driving Permit alongside your license, and rental companies may set minimum ages or add young-driver fees. Check the rental terms before you book.
Airport transfers
A pre-booked transfer is a fixed-price ride from the airport to your accommodation, and the driver usually tracks your flight. It is worth considering when you land late, travel with luggage or children, or arrive somewhere taxis are hard to judge. Kiwitaxi, Welcome Pickups and Intui all offer transfers in many cities.
Trains, buses and ferries
For short and medium distances, trains and buses are often cheaper and less stressful than flying. Omio compares trains, buses and flights across Europe and beyond, while 12Go specializes in Asia, including ferries to the islands.
