Established in 1954 as Auto Europe, our organisation has grown from a European Car Rental provider into a Global Leader in self-drive travel. A significant milestone came in 2001 with the acquisition of DriveAway Australia. This brand quickly became a trusted, high-quality Car and Motorhome Wholesaler for both travellers and the travel trade. Continuing our expansion, the DriveAway brand launched to the UK trade in 2017, further strengthening our commitment to supporting travel professionals across key international markets.
Today, DriveAway remains dedicated to one core mission: helping travel advisors regain confidence in booking Car and Motorhome Hire for their clients. In a market where trust, speed, and reliability are paramount, our goal is to provide Travel Agents with a seamless, profitable, and dependable self-drive solution – boosting revenue opportunities while ensuring exceptional experiences for mutual customers.
