Why choose Hayes & Jarvis for…Self Drive Holidays?
Working with leading and trusted car hire companies, we ensure your self drive holiday happens without a hitch. We organise self drive holidays on some of the world’s best road trip routes, from Route 66 in the USA to the Garden Route in South Africa. We can sort everything from A to B: organising flights, accommodation and vehicle hire so you have a completely stress-free holiday. Whatever vehicle you’ve been dreaming of driving, we can make it happen, whether it’s a deluxe motorhome or a Harley-Davidson.
South Africa
South Africa is a superb self-drive destination with many possibilities. Beginning from the fabulous metropolis of Cape Town, driving along the beautiful ocean coastal road spotting whales and staying in quaint towns such as Knysna or head inland passing through the green and mountainous countryside before enjoying a glass of locally produced wine at a boutique hotel.
Finish your drive at one of South Africa’s safari parks spotting the big 5. With so many wonderful sights and attractions, travelling at a pace to suit on surfaced and safe roads, a self-drive in South Africa is a holiday must.
USA & Canada
Whether cruising down Route 66 on the back of a Harley Davidson, exploring the National Parks in a motorhome or city hopping in a hire car, driving in North America and Canada has never been easier. With wide, straight freeways designed to get you from A to B quickly, the distances may be long at times, but the sights you can see with every turn of the corner make it all worthwhile.
We have pieced together some fantastic itineraries where you can discover and explore your own American Dream or Canadian Adventure, but you can also tailor-make the routing as you wish, adding an extra night here, visiting an additional resort there, or we can even help you create your own unique road trip.
