Canary Islands placed back on the Government Travel Corridor list, as is Car Hire in the Canaries.

Since the announcement yesterday made by the UK government we have seen a trickle of reservations for the Winter Sun destination.

It is clear people have mixed feelings about travelling overseas again.

We all know destinations can be removed as quickly as they are added to the so called ‘Green list’.

For some the risk is too high for others the temptation of sunnier climates a break from life’s recent experiences is too tempting.

If your foot is in the latter camp then turning from traditional transfers to car rental may be a sensible alternative.

Perhaps worth considering the current public transport restrictions.

Those of us that know the Islands know that there is much to explore off the beaten track. This is where hiring a car pay dividends.

We at Indigo have been doing car hire in the Canaries for the past 11 years.

We know all the upside’s and potential downsides.

Deposit levels / excess levels and the best way / most cost effective way of protecting yourself / on or off airport pick up’s / methods of deposit whether it is credit card, debit card, charge charges / fair fuel policy / cost of additional extras (baby seats, GPS, additional drivers) and much more)

We all have a tendency to stick with what we know. That might be just fine when it comes to picking out clothes or choosing where to go for dinner, but it should never be the guiding light in planning your next holiday destination.

If you’re going to hire a car and go exploring this summer, consider setting your GPS for the majesty of Northern Europe.

Reasons to Visit Northern Europe this Summer

1. You Need to See Something New
Visiting one of Europe’s iconic cities this summer might take you somewhere new, but surely not to somewhere you’ve never heard of before.

Northern Europe, by contrast, is a buried treasure of vibrant cities, cultures, and landscapes that have been largely overlooked by the tourist industry. Try visiting Tallinn in Estonia, one of Europe’s best preserved medieval towns.

Or stand beside five perfectly preserved Viking ships, pulled from Denmark’s Fjords, in the city of Roskilde. If you’re ready for a spectacular drive to the north of Sweden, you can stay in Kiruna’s ice hotel and marvel at the midnight sun.
Visit Northern Europe this summer and see something really new.

2. You Want to Escape the Crowds
Sooner or later, people are going to figure it out. For now, however, Norther Europe is still a haven from the crowds that flock to Paris, London and Rome in the summer months.

Finland is celebrating its hundredth year of independence, so this summer is the perfect time to pay a visit to Helsinki and enjoy the celebrations.

While you’re in the general neighbourhood, check out the sights of Stockholm where admission to many of the state-owned museums is now free. You can avoid the line-ups, congestion and stress that come with the more traditional European destinations by heading north.

3. You’re Looking for Some Fresh Air
If you’re going to take a visit to Northern Europe this summer, we guarantee you won’t be spending all of your time indoors.
That’s because so many of the Scandinavian and Baltic countries are renown for their spectacular natural beauty. The very best way to really see the place is to hire a car and hit the road. Ocean, forest, mountains, fjords, volcanoes and glacial valleys all await you in Northern Europe.

And here’s a bonus fourth reason to visit Northern Europe this summer. The sun is up half the night, so it feels like you’re getting twice as much holiday time. Try it, we’re not kidding!
