Self-Drive Adventure Holidays

Self-guided walking holidays but with even more freedom. This range of walk and drive holidays are designed with independence in mind, perfect for giving you and your travel companions more opportunities to explore and get off the beaten track. Plus, this way of travel is ideal if you are sampling an active holiday for the first time or with your family – if you don’t feel like walking one day, then hop in your car and go sightseeing for the day instead.

Self-Guided Driving FAQ's

Is the hire car included?

Our self-drive self-guided holidays do not include car hire as standard. These holidays have been designed to give you the ultimate flexibility and independence including allowing you to choose your own hire car. Arranging your car independently, you can choose the type of vehicle you prefer, the number of drivers required, and the level of excess protection desired.

However, if you prefer to have this taken care of for you, we can arrange your hire car for you as an additional service. Just contact our sales team for a quote.

How do you recommend I arrange my own hire car?

Car hire brokers such as Zest Car Rental are a good resource for comparing rental deals. Zest Car Rental are a Which? Recommended Provider, and all their suppliers are carefully vetted.

If you book car hire for your KE holiday via the above link, please note that KE Adventure Travel will not be responsible for the proper performance of the car hire. In case of problems, please contact Zest Car Rental directly. Please also note that in the event of the insolvency of Zest Car Rental, KE Adventure Travel will NOT be obligated to refund any payments made directly to them. However, you will continue to benefit from financial protection for any payments made to KE Adventure Travel in the event of our insolvency.

More information on insolvency protection via our bonding with ABTA and ATOL can be found in our Booking Information and Booking Conditions.
