Or learn to drive a stick. And buy a GPS that you can use at home or in Europe. Ours has made multiple trips and has worked out to be much cheaper than what a car rental company would charge; plus we are familiar with it. In a pinch, you can actually use WiFi on your phone and download a section of Google Maps into a cache and use that without incurring data charges.

Yeah, I've done the google maps trick in England before, much easier/cheaper assuming you have a copilot.

Our main guide is a Garmin 261, old but it came with complete Europe maps, and I think we've updated it once. Marijke also has a 296 which can load regions, but is limited on memory. We used the Google trick when we were missing a tiny section.

I much prefer the rental car company GPS to anything I have used in my own cars or phones.
