2 to 3 week sumer trip to europe

[SuperFlyer]

so i need to find a rental company who will let me take out a one way rental. so far no luck 

Okay, so I played around.
Seems like some places aren't game or ask outrageous amounts.

Here I found a very very cheap price, that's for 2 weeks, starting in Skopje, Macedonia and ends in Paris (Paris is THE perfect place to hop on a train to the UK, and while your Paris stay a car is obsolete anyways).
I've added the 22 year old.

It might not be the car you are looking for, but it's a good start:

First get your route sorted out.

it seems like this deal is specifically for manual cars. one of my friends says he thinks he can drive manual but i assuming if you dont have alot of experience you can probobly brake the gears.

So let him train a bit before.

it seems as though the one way offer expired. i think that means two way rental which means cutting out a nice chunk of the trip
oh well you cant have everything in life.

I can try finding another, if narrowed down.
Wasn't an easy task.

would be great! might just do the two way depending on rates an a few other variables. if you rent two way to upgrade to a bigger car is much cheaper.

[yahaatim]

working on flights now. need either tlv to skp or ath depending on where we start.
from ther need at the end of the trip from ath/skp to man for wedding.
with a return flight to tlv after wedding. best i found so far is 723$ (through ath) and 954$ (through skp)

Heres rough schedule:
1. Either sunday night july 30th or Monday morning 31st (depending on prices) fly from TLV to JTR (The International Airport of Thira Santorini) via ATH.
2. Tuesday night or Wednesday morning (based on Sun or Monday departure) JTR to ATH.
3. From Athens hope to pickup a two way 12 day rental and hit the road! (route posted above)

POI
1. Tirana, Albania
2. Dubrovnik, Croatia
3. Mostar, 88000, Bosnia and Herzegovina
4. Skopje, North Macedonia
5. Thessaloniki, Greece
 
I know its not nearly as much as originally planned but with rental prices and time limitations this seems feasible and makes the most sense.
Any information, dayis, tips, haaros, etc. from the greater DDF community, please "Speak now or forever hold your peace"!

**So far still working on getting to Manchester from Athens and back to TLV after trip. flights are quite expensive. If anyone has some insight on how to work that out it would be greatly appreciated!

Try bundling all or some of your flights via a multicity search. On one of my trips we saved ~$1.2k per traveler by booking multicity instead of separately (we used Airwander but they killed the old site and the new one isn't working for multicity searches yet)

i tried with sky scanner multi city but the flights to manchester and returning to tlv add over $500 idk maybe since its not a roundtrip its more expensive? not sure, but seems a bit much and not really in the budget.

[yahaatim]

any of the countries that we will be driving through require an IDL or can i use my regular license?

In my experience.
If its good for the rental, it's good for the drive.
