Further down the page, you’ll find four unforgettable Route 66 holidays to review in detail, with prices from just £1,599.00 per person. However, here is a quick overview to help you choose.
Route 66 Explorer – This is our most popular Route 66 holiday. Why, you ask? Well, while it covers all the classic Route 66 points of interest, it also detours to visit the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas during its 15-night journey along Route 66.
Original Route 66 – Looking for a Route 66 holiday, but you wish to holiday like roadtrippers from yesteryear? Not interested in visiting the Grand Canyon or Las Vegas, as you’d prefer not to take detours away from Route 66. Then, this is the Route 66 holiday for you.
Ultimate Route 66 – Similar to our 15-night Route 66 Explorer holiday, however, this holiday takes a more leisurely three weeks to complete Route 66, with additional stops in Tulsa, Monument Valley, and Palm Springs. If you have three or more weeks, then this is the Route 66 holiday of your dreams.
The Big Two – America’s two most iconic drives joined together to make one epic holiday. Not only will you drive Route 66, but this three-week holiday also takes you along Highway 1 between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Which will be your favourite road on this holiday? Coastal Highway 1 or iconic Route 66?
My partner and I spent three weeks driving Route 66 before finishing with a slight detour through Yosemite and on to San Francisco. Rather than say it was a mere holiday, I can only describe it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we loved every minute. We had a great time exploring each new destination and discovering all the hidden gems along each leg of the journey. Our hotels were all fantastic and we had a lot of fun in our (pretty much brand new) Jeep, which took us all 2,800-odd miles from Chicago to San Francisco (plus some little detours along the way). All of which added up to a completely stress-free trip, further enhanced with our personalised itineraries, guidebooks and maps that made up our exceptionally thorough pack.

Not a problem. If you are lucky enough to have extra time to explore more places or add more rest days, then just let us know and we’ll adjust your trip to match your preferred timescale.
We strongly advise that you purchase travel insurance for your holiday to cover you against medical expenses, theft and other financial costs. Should you need to cancel before travelling, some insurance policies may pay out for any loss of funds that have been paid to us and which cannot be refunded under our cancellation policy.
Many of our trips have a different end destination than the starting point, so this is not a problem. Please note a fee sometimes applies for one-way rentals between other regions or states, which will be paid to the supplier directly when collecting the vehicle. We’ll endeavour to inform you of this charge within your quote.
No, far from it. We work with a range of properties from 3* to 5*, so we can adapt the trip to match most budgets. We have access to rooms in more than 800 hotels, motels, lodges and B&Bs across North America.
The minimum age to rent a car is 21 in the United States or Canada, although, in addition, any drivers under 25 years of age will generally incur a surcharge.
ARTCo customers can be confident that we only work with the very best service providers, such as Virgin Atlantic, British Airways and Alamo. Any payments made to us are fully protected via the government’s ATOL scheme (Flight packages) or Financial Failure Insurance (Non-Flight Packages).
