Hello. For 22 day potential travel through France, Germany, Poland, The Netherlands, Czech Republic and Italy, would you recommend using a Eurail Global pass, renting a car for free style travel or a combination of the two?

My spouse and oldest son are flying into Amsterdam early March 2018, flying out of Frankfurt Germany 22 days later.

Mainly WWII historical locations trip.

Please comment on your thoughts for ease and freedom of travel from personal experience or from shared experiences from others doing similar travel.

Thank you very much.

Hi! We have traveled several times to Europe for stays as long as 5 weeks and found it most convenient and cheaper to do a short-term lease/purchase through autofrance.net Included in the lease/purchase price: A new Peugeot, full coverage insurance and roadside assistance. They have numerous pickup and drop off locations throughout Europe.

Thank you, two car talkers! We will contact autofrance.net for further information.

Joint US military bases are another resource for tickets or car rentals- just didn't think about utilizing them this trip (we have in the past), since the guys are flying commercial.

Thank you again for your suggestion.
