Having the car on holiday IS PART OF THE HOLIDAY! how often do you get open roads, no time pressures to be somewhere. You can just DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn't agree more, but I've been fortunate enough to travel to some far flung places on my holidays over the past few years that require a lengthy flight to get there. The downside is I have to leave the car at home.
Might be going to Scotland later this year for a week or two. If so, I won't be leaving the car at home; can't pass by the opportunity of driving on scenic open roads with minimal traffic and breathtaking views.
