We are going to europe for a few months in the fall. Looking for info on renting a van, flat and any other important info.
We will be flying into Venice and staying with family for some time but need info just in case!!
Planning to go to France, Switzerland and Germany.
Any info u can provide is greatly appreciated!!!

Airbnb.com is always an option for renting flats
I've heard great things, and seen some great options!!!

Try Homeaway - if staying for extended time don't be afraid to email the owner to see if they offer better rates for extended stay - we booked a 1 bdr apt in the center of Rome that was listed at $1100 CAD for a week but because we were staying for a month we got it for $1500 for the whole month ... SCORE

wow, thats amazing!!
ty for the tip, will try to squirrel the info into my memory

If you are moving around frequently try Venere or Trivago

any suggestions for car rentals? i tried europecar but they don't have anything where we are going...

try autoeurope.ca and also look at the airtransat.ca, they have rental cars that include extensive insurance and often no increased drop off fees where picking up in one country and dropping off in another - I did a quick check - 35 days - compact car - pick up in Milan (Rome and Milan only pick up sites in Italy), drop off in Paris - $2200 CAD includs addiional driver at no cost, GPS, no deductible insurance coverage including for glass beakage, roadside assistance - we have not tried this but are considering it for our next extended Europe trip. Worth lookinf at. We have rented cars in Italy on 4 different occasions and have always used SIXT car rental. Their rates are good, service good, available in lots of places, but I have not sourced out pick up in one country and drop off in another. Hope that helps
