With the school break looming and the travel season heating up, British drivers are steering away from packed holiday spots and soaring ticket prices, instead opting for self-guided European getaways.

Car sharing marketplace Turo has compiled five European road trip routes for summer 2025 that Brits could take in, each of them offering the option of driving from the UK.*

These routes offer a balance of scenic beauty, thrilling drives, and cultural charm—giving motorists the freedom to explore Europe without the inconvenience of flights, layovers, or excess luggage charges.

Rory Brimmer, UK Managing Director of car sharing marketplace Turo, commented:

“European road trips offer something truly special – the freedom to discover hidden valleys in the Alps, coastal roads along the Mediterranean, and historic cities at your own pace. These routes are designed to maximise both driving pleasure and cultural discovery while starting and ending at ferry ports, making the logistics simple for UK drivers.

“Whether you’re looking for the winding mountain passes of the Dolomites or the sun-soaked coastal roads of Portugal, Turo can provide the perfect vehicle for your European adventure. From comfortable touring cars for long distances to sports cars for those memorable Alpine passes, having the right car transforms a good trip into an unforgettable one.”
