USA Car Hire
For an independent holiday that still allows you to retire to a hotel bed each night, choose to hire a car. Alamo is Kuoni's long-term car rental partner in the USA and offer vehicles from an economy 2-door (Chevrolet Aveo or similar) to a luxury 4-door (Cadillac DTS or similar) and even an 8-seat luxury minivan (Dodge Caravan or similar).
