FAQ'S

What's the difference between a double and a twin room?
Close

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.

How do you select your hotels?
Close

All of the hotels on our site are hand-picked to ensure you have the best road trip possible. 95% of them are rated "fabulous" or better on Expedia. Tripadvisor ratings are also used, combined with personal experience and detailed research. At a minimum, our hotels have:

  • A front desk which is open and staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days per week;
  • Daily housekeeping included in the room price;
  • Private bathroom for each unit;
  • No requirement for guests to stay longer than 3 nights.

 

How do you select your car providers?
Close

We only work with car rental partners that we consider “blue chip” and that we expect to look after you if anything unexpected occurs. Examples include:

  • Avis.
  • Budget.
  • Enterprise.
  • Hertz.

 

Which trip is best for me?
Close

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.

Can I take sports equipment or other large baggage?
Close

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.

How can I book a flight
Close

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.

What do I need to take with me?
Close

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 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 traveling are not blocked and that data roaming and other telephony charges are reasonable.

What do I need to bring to collect the vehicle?
Close

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.

What do I need to bring to check in to the hotels?
Close

You will need your passport and your Modern Roadtrips Guide itinerary document for hotel check-in.

Do all the hotels have parking?
Close

Wherever possible, we will ensure the hotel has free parking facilities to make your journey easier.

How do I know my reservation is confirmed?
Close

After receiving your booking, we will finalize the details and issue you a Modern Roadtrips itinerary containing all the details of your road trip.

How will I receive my road trip information?
Close

When you have completed your transaction, our team will confirm your details and finalize 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.

What facilities will the hotel have?
Close

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.

How can I unsubscribe from Modern Roadtrips emails?
Close

At the bottom of each email you will find an 'unsubscribe' hyperlink

How do I change my account details?
Close

After logging in, navigate to 'Account.' You can edit your details from there.

I got an email that claims to be from Modern Roadtrips and it is suspicious. What should I do?
Close

Please forward it to phishing@ModernRoadtrips.com and we will investigate. We will never ask you for payment details or your password over an email, so treat these as 'red flags.'

I wish to register a complaint
Close

We are sorry to hear that. Please get in touch with us using the custom message form and we will be delighted to help.

Where can I find my previous road trips?
Close

Navigate to 'Account' from the Modern Roadtrips homepage and you can select 'Booked Trips' to see your upcoming and previous trips.

Are local taxes included in the hotel room and vehicle rates?
Close

No - you might find that you have to pay these locally at the hotel. Typically you will find these are a just few Dollars or Euros per night.

How do I use a promotional code?
Close

On the payment page, you will find a box marked 'DISCOUNT CODE.' Enter the code you have and, if it is valid, it will automatically apply the discount to your order. Please make sure you do this prior to your payment being made.

Is my credit card number safe?
Close

Yes. We use the Worldpay payment system, which is run on secure servers and anonymises all of the important data, including your card details. We don’t even have access to the information, let alone anyone else.

My payment isn't working. What do I do?
Close

Please contact us with as much information as you can provide. We will do our best to help.

Once I have bought the roadtrips what else will I have to pay for?
Close

The following things are not included: Local taxes - for example a 4* hotel night in Barcelona will cost you EUR 1.25 in local tax, which GRT can't charge you up front.
Food and drink, Attractions, Fuel, Travel to and from the starting and end cities.

What are my payment options?
Close

We use the Worldpay system, which means we accept all major cards other than American Express, and also accept PayPal payments.

Will all my rooms be paid for when I make the booking?
Close

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 GRT charge you directly. You'll never lose out because of this arrangement.

How will I receive my receipt for payment?
Close

By automated email once the transaction has completed.

Where can I see and print a copy of my receipt?
Close

The receipt is included in your formal confirmation email.

Can I make a reservation without a credit card?
Close

You will require either a credit card or a debit card to pay for your Modern Roadtrips.

Can I add additional drivers?
Close

Yes. The default booking will always be for a single driver. If you want to include a secondary driver, please tell us when you make the booking using the contact us page. We will investigate if there are any additional charges (which is common) and we will confirm.

How can I extend my trip?
Close

If you want to extend your trip, please get in touch with us using the custom message form. Let us know where you would like to stay and for how long, and we will check it out before getting back to you.

How do I cancel or change my hotels?
Close

If you want to cancel your hotels for any reason, please get in touch with us using the custom message form. Cancellation policies vary between hotels, so we will investigate this and get back to you.

I want to check out later than the stated check-out time. What should I do?

Can I upgrade one or several of my hotel rooms?
Close

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 in Europe 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.

Can I change the name of someone coming with me?
Close

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.
