Why are there frequent UK to mainland Europe relocations?

Travellers often take vehicles into Europe and return them elsewhere, creating regular relocations back to the UK. Supplier needs and travel patterns influence availability.

Can I take scenic routes through the Alps?

Many suppliers allow Alpine routes, though winter closures and height restrictions may apply. Check your rental agreement for route allowances.

Are relocations available for popular festival routes?

Some suppliers offer relocations before and after major events. Availability depends on fleet movements and event timing.

Can I drive through multiple EU countries?

Many suppliers allow EU-wide travel, though some restrict certain countries. Check your rental agreement for permitted travel areas.

What about different traffic rules in each country?

Driving laws vary across Europe. Suppliers typically provide country-specific guidance or documentation with your vehicle.
