Some cities have local hotel taxes that can only be paid in person. For example, Barcelona 4* hotel tax is €1.25 per night
You will have to fuel your vehicle. A modern, fuel efficient hire car is coming your way, though
A double room has one large bed (usually a king or queen) while twin rooms have two beds. We do our best to get at least two doubles or two queens, although in some instances it may be two singles.

Check out HOW IT WORKS
You can browse all of our road trips at www.modernroadtrips.com/packages. If you want to visit a particular destination or have a certain duration in mind, you can also filter the results using the boxes on the page.
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Contact us directly so we can discuss making it happen.
Yes, you can. A default car type will be selected for your road trip. But if you want to take large baggage, please check the car type selected and consider upgrading to something larger.
We don’t provide flight sales. We recommend using a 'scraper' service which will check multiple airlines for flights to your chosen roadtrip start & end cities, such as SkyScanner.
Your Passport is critical, and you will need your Modern Roadtrips Guide (we email this to you when you confirm your booking).
If you are from an EU country you may also wish to take your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
Travel Insurance is highly recommended for all of our road trips.
You must check any car rental conditions in your paperwork. But at a minimum, take your driver’s license (both the photocard and paper sections, if applicable) and two proofs of address, such as utility bills. For UK customers, the DVLA has introduced a system that enables you to share your license number for car hires at this URL: https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence..
We also recommend you bring some cash in the local currency (or traveler's cheques if you prefer).
Other items we recommend include sunscreen, travel adaptors for your electronic devices, and a GPS (either a smartphone or a traditional sat nav).
Lastly, it is wise to check your banking and phone tariff arrangements to ensure that payments whilst travelling are not blocked and that data roaming and other telephony charges are reasonable.
Pick-up requirements vary by region, so it’s better to bring more information rather than less. Please bring your driver's license (including any associated paperwork), with two proofs of address and your passport. For UK customers, the DVLA has introduced a system that enables you to share your license number for car hires at this URL: https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence.
You will need your passport and your Modern Roadtrips Guide itinerary document for hotel check-in.
Wherever possible, we will ensure the hotel has free parking facilities to make your journey easier.
After receiving your booking, we will finalise the details and issue you a Modern Roadtrips itinerary containing all the details of your road trip.
When you have completed your transaction, our team will confirm your details and finalise your bookings. We will issue an itinerary document to your chosen e-mail address with details of your hotels and your car, and some ideas of things to do whilst on your road trip.
We select each hotel based on a range of factors including comfort, location, facilities, value, service, and charm. As such, each hotel's facilities vary, and if in doubt you should consult your itinerary for further details. Wherever possible we make sure that your hotels have free parking facilities to make your road trip easier.

Food and drink, Attractions, Fuel, Travel to and from the starting and end cities.
We accept all major cards other than American Express, and also accept PayPal payments.
Usually yes. If every hotel accepts payment up-front we complete the bookings that way. If there are any exceptions to this (which is very rare!) we will advise you. The price you see is the total for the roadtrip, so if any hotels do require payment at the desk, it will be deducted from the amount Modern Roadtrips charge you directly. You'll never lose out because of this arrangement.
By automated email once the transaction has completed.
The receipt is included in your formal confirmation email.
You will require either a credit card or a debit card to pay for your Modern Roadtrips.

Please contact the hotel directly using the details in your Modern Roadtrips itinerary document. Generally you will find that the earlier you can contact the hotel with this type of request, the easier they will find it to accommodate you.

When you make your road trip selection, you can choose between Budget, Standard, and Luxury trips, all of which offer a different level of hotel quality. We book the best hotels we can find based on the chosen level of quality but often upgrading a room is easily done for a small charge. If you would like to make a specific upgrade, please email us to discuss this and we will investigate for you.
The only names we need are the name used for check-in at each hotel and the name of the driver of the rental car. If either of these names change, please email us and we will try to change the onward bookings for you. The names of anyone accompanying you on the road trip are not required.
