No region does the road trip like the Americas — endless highways, diners and drive-in scenery, from Route 66 to the Pacific Coast Highway and the Icefields Parkway.

There's a reason the road trip is an American invention. Great roads, cheap fuel, spectacular distances and a diner in every town make self-driving the perfect way to see the USA and Canada — windows down, playlist on, the next national park just over the horizon.
Family-run since 1974, Cooee maps the route, books the car and the stops, and hands you a day-by-day plan so the only decision left is where to pull over.

Yes — your Australian licence is valid for tourists, roads are excellent and well-signed, and car hire is affordable. Just remember they drive on the right, watch for different road rules (like right-turn-on-red), and book an automatic. Cooee arranges the car, insurance and route. See our getting there guide.
A focused route like the Pacific Coast Highway needs 7–10 days; a Southwest national-parks loop 10–14 days; and a coast-to-coast or Route 66 epic 2–3 weeks. Build in buffer days — the joy is in the stops. See our 2-week USA road trip.
May to October is ideal for most US and Canadian routes — parks open, passes clear, long daylight. Autumn adds fall colour; deserts (the Southwest) are more comfortable in spring and autumn than high summer. See our best time to visit guide.
Absolutely — that's our specialty. Cooee maps the route, books the car, hotels and any timed park entries, and gives you a day-by-day plan with the best stops, so all you do is drive and enjoy. See our itineraries guide.
