Aimed at the traveler interested in auto touring, this guide is meant to be a how-to on matching an auto agency, vehicle, and options to your specific travel plans. It promises to pay big dividends at the rental counter. It is the first of several guides from this new publisher that will address other destinations and be updated periodically. Organized around planning a car trip to Europe, the guide begins with an outline of an itinerary. We are taken step by step through the planning needed before going (e.g., tips on leasing over renting for longer trips) , what to expect when driving, the information needed on the road, and what to do when returning the car. Half the book is composed of diagrams of cars and data on seat and luggage capacity, miles per gallon/liter, and standard features. Rental/leasing car agencies are listed by country and type of car available. This unique travel source is recommended for travel collections.- Susan Fifer Canby, National Geographic Soc.
