Drive Route 66 for yourself!

If our 26-day tour of the ‘Mother Road’ just isn’t an option for you – don’t worry!

Our  brilliant 20-day,  self-drive’ tour is designed for guests who prefer to travel Route 66 unaccompanied, or cannot make our ‘Official Tour’.

You just choose the departure date from Chicago – and we provide everything you need to travel across Route 66 on your self-drive odyssey from Chicago to Los Angeles.

On departure day from Chicago, you will be collected around 8:00am and taken to collect your rental car.  

You’ll absorb the history of a bygone era whilst enjoying all the modern creature comforts: Bluetooth, Cruise Control, set amongst a modern, powerful drivetrain. 

With a Gilligan’s ‘Self Drive’ tour you can be assured to see the best of Route 66, travelling the original road without the hassle of stopping to check road names, unravelling armful’s of maps, or trying to plan your vacation using a pile of confusing books and guides.

With the use of our exclusion turn by turn navigation system and Route Book, we detail each and every day of the journey.                         

Most days are planned around an 8:45am departure, which sees guests arrive at the end of each day around 4:30pm.       

We do all the hard work and you just enjoy each day as It happens!
