Yes. The route, daily drive duration, and accommodations are all designed with families in mind. Kids above 5 years old will enjoy the diverse scenery and cultural experiences.
What type of car is required for this trip?
Any well-maintained personal vehicle (SUV, MUV, sedan, or hatchback) is welcome. SUVs are recommended for better comfort and road handling, but not mandatory. Ground clearance of your car should be 160 mm or higher.

We do! The organizing team will manage all necessary cross-border permits and paperwork for your vehicle and passengers. We'll guide you through the process in advance.

Our roadside assistance team and pilot car will coordinate help with local garages and towing services. Costs for repair/towing will be borne by the participant.
Is travel insurance mandatory?
Not mandatory but strongly recommended, especially for international travel (even if just across the border). It’s a small cost for peace of mind.
