We had an excellent trip to the Cote d'Azur. We visited small towns, which were calmer and cheaper. We traveled by a rented car. We booked a car and paid for rent via this resource. It's very convenient and inexpensive. We chose a mini-car, so we spent money on rental cost and fuel.

Car rental is suitable only for experienced drivers, as not everyone can drive in Rome. Nonetheless I\'ve decided to visit this ancient city by car. By the way, it is very interesting and unusual. It is easy to see the city from unconventional angles, inaccessible to tourists. I\'ve rented a car via bookingcar.eu. I\'ve liked the fact that the base cost\'s included insurance and other options that are necessary in a city with intensive traffic and a peculiar driving style.
