Self-Drive Holidays in California
The Golden State of California is the ultimate USA self-drive destination. With its expansive coastline, national parks, wine regions, gorgeous coastal communities and dynamic cities, there is no better place for a road-trip. What makes California so special is its variety – there is an almost limitless number of routes to drive and a huge range of things to see – and, with a self-drive holiday, this can be exploited to the full. California is synonymous with Highway 1. This iconic road hugs the glittering Pacific coastline with the most spectacular portion between San Francisco and Los Angeles. From LA extend east through the desert to Las Vegas, the ethereal landscapes of Death Valley or south to San Diego. Alternatively, San Francisco is also the gateway to Northern California and there are a host of beautiful routes to travel. Head to the winelands of Napa, explore Yosemite National Park, ascend the Sierra Nevadas to Lake Tahoe or, for the more adventurous, drive epic coastal roads through giant redwoods to the Pacific North West.
