Description:
So you've heard that driving in Europe is expensive, terrifying, and simply lousy with red tape. It ain't necessarily so, says Eric Bredesen, author of Moto Europa. In fact, if you know what you're doing, automobile travel can be the best way to experience the continent. Bredesen wrote this book after he spent three months touring Europe in a car--it is, he says, the guide he wishes he'd had, a guide that "walks you step by step through the decisions you need to make, a guide that presents a reasonable amount and type of information in an easy to follow format.... " You won't find hotel or restaurant recommendations in Moto Europa--Bredesen leaves that kind of information to other guidebooks. What you will find is plenty of information about renting, leasing, or buying a vehicle in Europe, how to insure it, how to pack it, and what kind of documents you'll need for each country you intend to visit. There's a chapter devoted exclusively to the challenges of driving in the British Isles and another on alternative accommodations. In addition to the wealth of information in these chapters, Bredesen includes several appendices that cover subjects such as questions renters should ask, what to do in case of an accident, a motorist's phrasebook, and more. Armed with Moto Europa, even the timidest driver can have a positive experience motoring through Europe.
