Renting a car has completely changed the way I travel. On my last trip, I was able to drive to a quiet beach that wasn’t on any tour map, stop at a tiny local café I would have missed otherwise, and take a scenic detour just because it looked beautiful. Having that freedom and flexibility made the trip feel truly my own. For anyone who loves exploring at their own pace, I can’t recommend renting a car enough — it turns a normal trip into an adventure.
