Self-Drive & Rail

Tailor-made for you, by you.
A self-drive offers complete freedom and flexibility to decide where you travel and at what pace, why not incorporate both on your next holiday.

Every aspect of your holiday is totally up to you!

We at Mike Drew Travel + Cruise work with global vehicle hire companies and will work with you to design your itinerary including flights, car hire, motorhome hire, car leasing, motorbike hire, accommodation, train reservations, rail passes, transfers, day tours as well as information on obtaining an international drivers license, insurance requirements, one way fees, rules for different countries and so much more information.

Vehicle hire has a lot of choices and add-ons such as a GPS, insurances, excess, show chains, baby seats, tolls, unlimited kilometres and more.

Self-Drive holidays are popular in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, USA, Canada, Iceland, UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Turkey, and Costa Rica.

A rail holiday can either be a fully escorted tour or a self-rail trip with a rail pass to use at your own pace. Rail is truly the best alternative to a self-drive holiday if you are not confident in driving in a foreign country, just sit back, relax, and admire the incredible views and quaint towns and villages.

A guided rail tour is a great way to cross-country or cross a continent and has many inclusions and can be combined easily with a river or ocean cruise or a coach tour. The most popular destinations for a guided rail tour include Switzerland, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, India, Russia, China, Peru and Africa. on some amazing luxury trains including Rocky Mountaineer, Rovos Rail, The Blue Train, Belmond Andean Explorer, Belmond Hiram Bingham, The Ghan, The Indian Pacific, Great Southern, Trans-Siberian, Eastern & Oriental Express, Belmond Royal Scotsman, Belmond Grand Hibernian, Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, El Transcantabrico, Al Andalus, Maharajas’ Express and the Palace on Wheels.

A self-rail holiday is extremely popular, especially throughout Europe with a rail pass.

Thanks Mike.”

“Mike loves his job – always a good sign and was very helpful with our recent trip to Vietnam and Laos, especially when it came to visa information! Mike easily arranged our travel insurance as well – my least favourite part of booking a holiday – with the best coverage and very good rates. Highly recommended.”
Andrew

Mike does an amazing job n would never use anyone else again….10 out of 10 from me.

The best ideas, great rates, and an unbelievable personal service. 

Would recommend him to everyone.”

“Professional and reliable travel agent. would highly recommend.”

Susan

“Twice, when we were on the other side of the world, you came to our rescue! Once when our daughter had an anaphylactic reaction on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. You will never know how much your support was appreciated at this time! I think of it often. 

Secondly, to help our friend’s daughter travel from Naples to Amalfi on her own when our original plans fell through. You did not hesitate to help us, even though it was a Friday at 5.30 pm when we called you.

I will keep recommending you to everyone I know, and I wouldn’t book any trip without you!”
