The MapQuest.com home page gives you access to driving directions for your own country. From there, begin by simply clicking on the DIRECTIONS icon.

The MapQuest.com directions page has two international options: 

1. MapQuest.com: USA
2. MapQuest.com: Europe 

MapQuest.com: Europe includes MapQuest.com: UK and many other European countries. 

• MapQuest.com driving directions do not include countries outside North America and Europe.

To find an address using MapQuest.com, and most other map sites, enter a building number, street name, and zip code. In the UK, and other countries, you may be asked for a postal code rather than a Zip code. They are basically the same thing. 

In summary:

• To access driving directions on MapQuest.com use the pull down menu to access the form for your country.

Good sites, complementing MapQuest.com are:

• Google Maps
• DiscountedOrFree - free driving directions.
• RAC and AA auto-route planners.
• TripAdvisor, bookatrip, & other travel sites.
• All Europe Rail - train travel in Europe.

You may already be using MapQuest.com, but try experimenting with other sites as they may be more suited to your particular needs.
