However, with a private driver, travelers can take their time and make the most of their journey, stopping at worthwhile spots such as small towns, national parks, or scenic viewpoints.

Similarly, shuttles are also not an option, which can be a disappointment for those who were hoping to share the cost of the journey with other travelers. However, the lack of shuttle services also means that travelers will not have to contend with the inconvenience of multiple pickups and dropoffs, which can add hours to the overall journey time.
