Hit the open road
Everyone loves their independence, and hire cars offer you just that. Wherever you’re holidaying, car rental is a great way to get out and about and explore the harder to reach places or neighbouring towns without having to worry about navigating local public transport. Come and go as you please and see what you want, when you want. Car hire is all about minimal hassle, maximum freedom.
You may even want to base your entire holiday around the car and opt for a flydrive, discovering the freedom of the open road. Flydrive holidays give you the opportunity to discover a country at your own pace and to your own timetable. If you've been dreaming of driving Route 66 or seeing the American Mid-West, you're definitely in the right place as we're experts in flydrive holidays to worldwide destinations including Florida, USA, Canada, and South Africa.
We’ve partnered with the best of the best car hire companies around the world to ensure your trip (and your car) runs smoothly. Holiday car rental has never been simpler.
We have a range of Flydrives available across the USA, from the historic Route 66 to the dazzling Pacific coast of California. Or if safari is on your list, start in Cape Town then take a meandering drive along the famous Garden Route ending in one of our wonderful game reserves.

Payments are being prioritised based on when the request was made, working in order from March 2020 onwards. We will always try to process refunds at the earliest opportunity, for requests before August our maximum timeframe is 120 days. As we are steadily reducing the maximum processing time for each new request, for refund requests made in August, we expect the maximum processing time to be 80 days, from the date the refund is requested. For those requesting a refund in September, we expect it to be processed within a maximum of 60 days, and then reduce to 30 days for refunds requested in October, before returning to normal levels.
To finalise the amendment, one of our customer advisors will phone you. We need to work through amend requests in departure date order so we can prioritise those with the most imminent travel plans, so you may have a longer wait than usual until we’re able to ring you back. We will help everyone that wants to move their holiday.
