Europe By Road: A Beginner's Guide.

There is no better way to see Europe than by open road. Whether you're planning a short-but-sweet road trip, a summertime vacation to escape the cold, or a complete change of lifestyle for a year or more, this guide has you covered. We take you through the entire process from start to finish, drawing from a huge range of online resources, forum posts, paperbacks, and years of first hand experience. We pay particular attention to campers, motorhomes & RV's, and begin with the planning, budgeting and visa phase, followed by a detailed analysis of all the different vehicle options available, and how to buy / rent / swap or ship them from overseas. For those wanting to buy a vehicle in Europe / EU, we run through registering, insuring and putting them on the road legally (EU & non-EU citizens included) - there's even a step-by-step how-to case study. This guide finishes with day-to-day living advice on finding campsites, staying connected online, road rules, security, safety, and a 3-part "Epic European Road Trips" chapter to get you off in the right direction. The information in this guide will literally save you days, even weeks of research, especially If it's your first time being on the road in Europe (or anywhere for that matter). The authors have done it the hard way so you don't have to. Unique, cheap, rewarding and ever-changing experiences await.
