In the UK, they call it a Fly-drive
How interesting. In the United Kingdom, they have a type of vacation called a “fly-drive.” My guess is that this means that certain fly-drive travel companies book both your flight and your rental car and your lodgings and provide you an itinerary of where to go. Am I right? Here’s their listing for an exotic fly-drive in Yucatan.
Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula is the location for a new fly-drive this year from Journey Latin America (020-8747 8315; journeylatinamerica.co.uk). The itinerary weaves through Tulum, Chichen Itza and the lesser-known, jungle-enveloped ruins of Coba.
Hit the open road with a new breed of exotic fly-drives
From reading the article by Mark Rowe, it seems as if your rental car in a “fly-drive” is an exotic sports car. That makes me wonder because, on one of our filmmaking trips for shooting the Yucatan Travel Movie, we had the opportunity to rent an Alpha Romeo sports car. However, when we saw it did not have license plates, we declined. We didn’t want to be blamed for the missing license plates when we returned the car to the car rental agency.
