Preliminary Itinerary

Ok, I've finally settled on a rough but solid schedule of how the week of this trip is going to turn out:

Spring Break, First Week of April
Friday, 2nd ~ Fly to Madrid from ATL; land in Madrid on the 3rd, drive* to Toledo
Saturday, 3rd-Monday, 5th ~ Stay in Toledo, drive to Segovia on the 5th
Monday, 5th-Wednesday, 7th ~ Stay in Segovia, drive to Madrid on the 7th
Wednesday, 7th-Saturday, 10th ~ Stay in Madrid
Saturday, 10th ~ Fly to ATL


*We (me and the elders of the family who are allowed to drive rental cars :) ) decided that a car would be the cheapest and most convenient method of transportation. Happily, two of my closest friends are coming with me on this trip; however, our party now requires at least a six-seater, which translates to a seven-seater = a van.

If you read the previous blog you would have noticed that renting a van was the most expensive means of travel listed. Luckily, after more research, we have found some better prices:

RentSpain - Standard Premium 7s A/C: $680.92
EasyCar - People Carrier 7s A/C: $1,079.70
Europcar - Seat Alambra 7s: $1,253
Hertz - Full Size Passenger Van: $957.35
Sixt - $795.21

Obviously we went with the $680 van from RentSpain, which converts to about 500 Euros. Now I've been sent (again, by the chauffeurs - though I'm grateful for their service) to search for the price and amount of petrol we will consume... the next post will be when I find the aforesaid info.

  1. Since we are going to Spain during Holy Week, it was difficult to find a van, so we had to go with EuropeCar.
