Electric Renault Used For Self-Drive Tours

Self-drive tours, an alternative to organized bus tours, seem to be a growing trend. Of course, self-drive tours are going to cost a bit more than a bus tour, but low-cost EVs can certainly help to keep the cost down.

Self-drive tours in the Renault Twizy enable you to drive on very narrow roads, and very quietly.

You won’t be able to sit back and relax like you would on a bus tour while someone drives you around (unless you’re in the passenger seat). However, you can choose where you want to go.

ToGuide, a Portugese company, is offering this service to tour Europe, Autoblog Green report. It’s using the Renault Twizy quadricycle, which is outfitted with a GPS and audio guide.
