The Derry to Belfast coastal road has been named as one of the best road trips in the world.
The Causeway Coastal route was named alongside Big Sur, Route 66, the Great Ocean Road and the Ring of Kerry as one of the best routes to drive.
The route has now been recognised as one of the '48 Epic Road Trips For Any Budget'.
“We wanted to find some of the biggest, most unforgettable road trips in the world,” said Matt Oliver, from GoCompare.com van insurance.
The firm estimates the local trip will cost travellers £460.59 in total, take five days, and include four stops along the way.
They suggest the total cost of petrol should be around £20.61, with the total hostel cost coming to around £80. It also factors in £166 for a return flight for British tourists, and puts the cost of van hire at £55.28 per day. Tourists can expect to pay £27.74 per day on food.
In comparison, the famous Pan-American Highway will cost a whopping £33,148.79, but the route would involve travelling the entire length of the Americas over a 281-day period.
