Travelling with a pet changes the way you organise a holiday. It is no longer enough to choose a destination, book accommodation and pack a suitcase. Other questions appear: how should they travel in the car and how often should you stop?

Searching for Alicante’s best beaches reveals endless sandy shores, hidden coves, convenient urban beaches and crystal-clear spots that are easier to reach by car.

Mallorca may look small on the map, but every drive reveals something new: mountain roads, stone villages, hidden coves, lighthouses and authentic inland markets.

The question seems simple: can you cross the border with a hire car? The most honest answer is: it depends.
