Ask specific access questions
Distance alone does not describe steps, surfaces, gradients or the route from parking. Check current official accessibility information and contact the destination where details are unclear. Explain vehicle access requirements to the rental team before choosing a category.

A situation worth thinking through
A stop that looks close to a car park may still be unsuitable for a particular traveller because of the path between them.
Road trips and day plans: the wider picture
A useful road trip plan combines a small number of worthwhile stops with time to park, walk and enjoy them. Treat route ideas as planning suggestions rather than promises about travel time, access or opening hours.
Check current destination information, navigation and weather before departure. Keep the rental return time in the plan and avoid leaving an ambitious stop until the final hours before a flight. For ferry trips, confirm vehicle permission with the rental provider separately from checking the ferry service. For boat excursions, plan where the rental car will stay while you are away from it.
