Self-drive holidays

A self-drive holiday package offers complete freedom of movement. You can explore at leisure, stopping off at different locations along your journey whenever you feel like it for a meal, to sight-see or shop. Then, when you’re ready, you continue on your way. Thompsons Holidays offers a wide selection of self-drive holiday packages. Fly to George and then head off to explore the Garden Route in a rental car. You can fly to the United States and hire a car to explore legendary Route 66. Or, drive through Spain, Portugal or France at leisure, or use your own vehicle to visit Sun City, Durban, the Kruger Park… Whether you hire a car or use your own is not important. What is important is that you have the freedom to stop off en route whenever you want.
