“It's not the destination, it's the journey”

What would travel be without transport? There are many ways to get from one place to another, and often the journey is as good or even better than the destination. Here is some information about travel and transport.

Many holidays start at the airport. See our guide to airports of the world which includes a list of many of the world's great airports.

• Airport Car Rental: Once you arrive at your destination, often the best way to get to your destination is to rent a car. See our guide to renting cars at the airport.
• Plan your transport: how are you getting to the airport? Once at your destination, will there be taxis or are you hiring a car. If you plan on hiring a car and driving overseas, make sure your current home license is valid, otherwise, you can apply for an international driver's license that is accepted all around the world.
