The perfect guide to European road trips, from A to Z!
The trendiest European travel styles, optimized for car travel!
A privilege for car travelers, we guide you through every nook and cranny of small European cities!

A car trip that allows you to travel at your own pace and on your own schedule, without having to drag a heavy suitcase around, and even to the depths of small towns where public transportation is inconvenient.
The outskirts of European cities, where public transportation is inconvenient, are perfect for car travel.
A road trip with friends or family is actually cheaper.


But even though it had many advantages, it was just a pie in the sky.
It was not easy to make the decision because of the fear of driving in an unfamiliar foreign country and the lack of information.
But now there's no need to worry.
《European Road Trip》 is the perfect guidebook for European road trips.
You can completely forget about existing guidebooks.
If you can't travel after reading a book, it's not a guidebook.
This book is packed with the most practical know-how, so you'll be ready to start right away.


"If I'm going on a European road trip, should I book a flight first? Or should I book a rental car first? How many European countries can I visit in two weeks? For a family of four, would a car the size of a Sonata be enough?"

When it comes to actually starting to prepare for a trip, there are endless questions.
All these questions cannot be answered through search alone, nor can they be left to AI.
You need to know what to ask! To map out your European road trip, you need to be equipped with the basic knowledge.
《European Road Trip》 will help even the most novice traveler master the basics of European road trips.
This guidebook, when read in its entirety, will allow you to sufficiently prepare for and embark on a European road trip on your own.


Just by learning the know-how to plan a European road trip, you'll get your money's worth.
A detailed list of recommended European travel and theme courses that fit your schedule.

Some people go on a two-week vacation with the ambition of traveling around Europe.
Some people arrive at an airport in Europe at 11 p.m. and plan to immediately find a rental car and go.
The rental car offices would be closed, and even if you slept a lot on the plane, jet lag and exhaustion would make it difficult to drive for a long time right away, so this was clearly a ridiculous plan.
There are also quite a few people who reserve accommodations without parking, and upon arrival, they search for parking everywhere and end up walking for several dozen minutes while dragging several trunks.
All of these travel incidents and accidents are caused by a lack of proper preparation and information.
If you read this book and learn the tips for planning your trip in advance, you will be able to travel much more cheaply, comfortably, and safely.


This book is packed with recommended courses and theme courses based on the author's extensive experience.
If you just follow this course plan well, you will get your money's worth from buying the book.
It clearly explains how to best travel to each country to fit my schedule.
Wouldn't it be a hassle to rent a car in Germany and end up returning it in Austria, incurring additional costs? The recommended itinerary is carefully planned to ensure travelers have a fulfilling trip just by following it.
It will help reduce many of the mistakes that beginners in car travel can make.


In particular, the part that stands out is the part that organizes themed courses that capture the romantic dreams of people who dream of a European car trip, such as the French Wine Road, the Loire Valley, and the Amalfi Coast of Italy.
Unlike the obvious tours of big cities like Paris and London that everyone goes to, we've organized places you've only heard of but didn't know how to get to in an easy-to-understand way.
The mere fact that you can go on a theme course makes a European road trip more appealing.
Imagine driving wherever you want! Imagine setting any location on your navigation system and exploring quiet, beautiful European towns! Just the thought alone is so romantic and special. You'll soon realize that a European road trip is truly the most beautiful way to experience Europe.


From car rental and return to European driving tips, parking, and refueling.
Introducing everything you need to know about driving a car.
The unrivaled guidebook for European road trips

This book is a new edition of the book “My First European Road Trip” published in 2017.
However, since it was reborn as a completely new book, it was published as a new book without the title of ‘revised edition.’
However, I tried to preserve and reinforce the parts of "My First European Road Trip" that readers liked the most, namely the detailed information about cars and driving.

Unlike traveling by public transportation, traveling by car offers convenience but requires the driver to take care of many things.
Even when refueling at a gas station, you might confuse gasoline and diesel and make a ridiculous mistake, so simulation beforehand is absolutely necessary.


This book covers valuable information that you won't find anywhere else, including how to reserve a rental car in Korea before your trip, how to prepare a navigation system and practice driving, and how to find a rental car and get a receipt when you're actually there.

In particular, driving in Europe is a bit different from driving in Korea. Even if it's not a big deal, it's important to be aware of it because if you're not aware of it and let your guard down, it could easily lead to a serious accident.
It covers everything you may have been vaguely afraid of, from safety signs and things to watch out for when driving on the highway to things to know about driving in the city and even how to pay highway tolls.
It contains every single detail that is simple if you know it, but can be very confusing if you don't.
The reason I can confidently say that reading this book will get you ready for a European road trip in no time is probably because of the quality of the information it provides, which is both important and accurate.


Even though it may seem like TMI, it's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared when traveling abroad by car!
We'll tell you everything you need to know about accidents, crimes, how to deal with them, and insurance-related matters!

Even for beginner car travelers, just driving is not a big problem.
Nowadays, navigation systems are so good that not being able to speak the language doesn't really matter when traveling by car.
The problem comes when a crisis occurs.
When your car is stolen, when the warning light suddenly comes on, when you're involved in a mixed fuel situation, when a tire blew out, or any other accident! Even in Korea, a car accident can be shocking and disconcerting. Imagine how terrifying it would be to have a rental car accident in Europe, where you don't even speak the language. But that doesn't mean you can give up on your trip.
If you carefully take out car insurance and deal with it step by step and skillfully, you can deal with more than 90% of accidents.


This book provides a step-by-step guide to full coverage insurance and how to deal with accidents and crimes, with photos.
Rather than simply calling insurance, we provide different response methods for each type of accident and crime.
If you don't panic too much and just follow this method, you will be able to handle most things on your own.
The content in this book is truly practical, real-world application! Could something like this happen to me? Don't be complacent.
Even if you think it's too much information (TMI), everything mentioned in this book can happen to you at any time, so keep it in mind.


Tips for finding accommodations by type, such as campsites and Airbnb
It's fun to expand your knowledge of everything from restaurants to how to use the supermarket.
Level up from beginner to expert in overseas road trips~

Whether it's a two- or three-week trip, there are many concerns about accommodations, such as whether to reserve accommodations for the entire trip in Korea before departure, or whether to reserve one place for a few days and then make reservations as you go.
Especially for car travelers, there are additional considerations, such as parking.
This book solves travelers' worries all at once.


We've covered European campsites in detail, offering great value for money accommodation.
While car theft is rampant throughout Europe, campsites offer the advantages of being cheap, safe, and clean.
Since you have a car, it can be a great option to shop for groceries like a local at the supermarket and cook for yourself using the Airbnb's kitchen.
A section that breaks down the various types of accommodations in Europe, including budget hotels, pensions, and farmhouses, will also be of great help to travelers.


A special bonus is a course to follow the southern France episode from tvN's entertainment show "Europe Outside the Tent"!

If you watch the women's romance South of France episode, you'll see four women traveling in a car.
Everywhere you go is picturesque and fantastic.
We included a special appendix so that girlfriends and sisters can follow the course shown in the program “Outside the Tent is Europe.”
We introduce a course that starts in Nice, passes through the Verdon Gorge, and returns to Paris.
If women are good drivers in Korea, there is nothing they can't do in Europe.
If you just read “European Road Trip” carefully, things that seemed impossible will become possible.
