We share all the rental expenses, including gas/fuel, parking, tolls, and rental costs of getting a brand-new car in Europe and doing a 5,000 mile (8,000 km) road trip through Italy, France, Monaco, Spain, and Portugal. We even have some fun with an international road sign quiz.
We saved so much money that we wanted to share the experience with you. Eliminate crazy one-way drop fees, get a brand new car, drive in multiple countries, convenient, easy, and did I tell you how much money we saved?

We enjoyed our Cleo in Scotland as well! And driving can definitely try the marriage!! 😜I love how you’ve been splitting your videos in two! Car lease/road signs, budget/joys of the year, etc! So enjoyable!
Thanks Dana! We were so surprised about our car. And thanks for the feedback. Next week is all about the Camino!
Thanks for info, heading to Lisbon in October and will check out auto-tt
Really liked all the tips, suggestions, and guidelines!! I am planning to go for a 15 days trip to Europe soon. So definitely this video will help me a lot!! Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
love you video. we are moving to France in the Spring. you are helping us.
Oh, I'm so glad. How exciting to make such a big move!
Sixt Portugal charge for existing damage. Used Sixt for 10 years plus but not any longer. Sixt head office should investigate Sixt Portugal.
Sorry to hear about your rental car experience.
Thanks for the info. I think your trip missed one of the best areas to buy a house - Almunecar and Nerja, which are east of Malaga and south of Granada. We're thinking about buying property in Andorra because of the tax advantages and renting in Almunecar in the winter.
Thanks for the tips! We'll be back in that area this summer and will look
Good stuff!! Thanks for posting. This is nice because I'm 21 and most rental car companies charge a ridiculous amount for people under 25... not to mention credit card deposits and insurance
You're welcome. Yes, being under 25 for car rentals is tough unless your employer requires you to rent.
Just stumbled on this video, so great, thank you. How did you decide on Auto-TT versus other similar companies?
We looked at other companies, but Auto-TT had what we wanted and could deliver on our time line. We loved them and will use them again.
Interesting video. It's definitely a cheaper way to go than renting a car for that same period, but it's still expensive. We were 90 days in Europe with rentals, buses, trains, and airfare and it came to $3384.
How many days of car rental did you have in those 90 days?
@@EatWalkLearn not many, only 4.
I agree that having a car is expensive, so when we decided that we absolutely wanted one, the question became How can we afford it in the most cost effective way?
@@stevegoodfriend8386 yep, your definitely found the cheaper option to have a car and the flexibility that comes with it.
Hello Guys thank you for the all the info! I just found! By any changes you have a insurance company you recommend?
We use IMG Global for medical. For auto, it was included in the rental costs.
Hi, I've watched your video a couple of times and I'm about to get my rental car from Auto TT as you recommenced however I am find this difficult. It appears it is a sale/ buy back scenario. Is that the same as you did? I'm a bit nervous about signing the form.
Yes, that's exactly right. The contract says they guarantee to buy back, essentially. I think it's considered a lease buy back
just a heads up...the auto tt link isn't correct in the information :)
Thanks! Fixed. Auto-tt.com
Unfortunately this company does not operate every where in Europe, only select countries
thanks
How do you pay insurance? Credit card?
Are you talking about insurance on these leases? It's included in the entire price as part of the lease.
