Thinking of driving Dublin to Turkey...

    Hi...does anyone have any experience of doing a road trip across the continent?
    I want tp travel from Dublin to southern Turkey.
    Looking at the ferry charges it almost looks better sense to just hire a car in the UK and use that for the trip. The next half-problem I run into is that then I'll be driving a RHD car across Europe which isn't ideal. Also, was wondering on insurance coverage etc extending to Turkey.

    Any input would be much appreciated.

    Drove a camper van a few years ago across europe almost to Turkey.
    Cork to Thessalonki in Northern Greece.
    No problems.. ferried from Italy to Greece to avoid driving Albania & macedonia.
    Insurance didn't cover leaving the EU.
    if you have the time , lovely drive..

    I'd be surprised if any car hire company in France or the UK would allow you to drive to Turkey.I have driven from Serbia to Dublin in a RHD car and it was no bother. It would be easier with a passenger though! Great experience.
