If you are in the process of planning your next trip away then you might be considering which transport options to use. If you have been away previously and your resort was in the middle of nowhere then you may have wished you hired a car. When you are planning every other aspect of your holiday then you should work out if hiring a car fits into your budget. There are other options when it comes to transport abroad, take a look at the article below to find some ideas and inspiration.

Public Transport

When you are away in a different country it can sometimes be nice to experience the local public transport. This could include the metro system or a bus to another destination. There are plenty of buses available and it might surprise you how often they come. If you are in a busy tourist destination then they will be far more regular than rural areas. If you look online they will have bus timetables that you can work out timings from. Alternatively, if you are staying in a hotel then you could ask at the reception desk what times the buses leave.

Taxis

Taxis can work out expensive if you are using them all the time throughout the duration of your trip. However, it can be a much cheaper option if you are only taking one or two trips to the beach or shops. Again, taxis will cost a various amount and may be more or less expensive than you are used to. Finding a decent, reliable, and reasonable taxi company is key for your holiday.

Hire Car

If you want to do your own thing during the day and venture elsewhere in the evenings then the best option would be to hire your own car. When you have your own car then you have the freedom to go anywhere you want. Figuring out if it fits into your budget is key as you don’t want to spend a fortune on car hire if you have other things to pay for during your trip. Different countries will also have various rules and regulations regarding their car hire. For instance, in Cyprus some car rentals specify not to cross the Turkish border and vice versa. Make sure you choose a car that fits the amount of people and suitcases you have, a suzuki swift sport is a wonderful option.

Other Options

If you are looking for other ways to save money during your holiday then you might want to look into a ride share option. Not all countries will have a ride share option so it is something you will need to look into before you go. Somewhere like New York and busier cities will more often than not have a ride share option to save money
