Cheap Airfare Step 8: Air-Car Vacation Packages
Buying your airfare along with a rental car at the same time in the form of a fly-drive vacation package often saves you money over purchasing each separately
If you do plan to rent a car, it's usually far cheaper to buy one of these vacation packages than it would be to get plane tickets, then go about arranging a vehicle separately.
This is largely because the outfits
that package these vacations are consolidators of at least the airfare
portion (sometimes the cars as well), meaning they can sell the tickets
at a discount because they buy them in bulk from the airlines way
below market value.
The practical upshot is not only can you get to Europe pretty cheaply, but once you're there you have your own set of wheels so you can properly explore the continent's nooks and crannies.
The best places to get air-car packages
Auto Europe (www.autoeurope.com) - Since they moved from doing just cars to covering cars and airfare (and more), AE has become one of the most consistent and reliable sources for both inexpensive airfares and barrel-bottom car rentals. It goes without saying that they can pair the two cheaply as well.
Go-Today.com (www.go-today.com) - The price champ on air-hotel packages also offers cheap fly-drive deals in most countries of Western European.
