I'm going to be spending 2.5 weeks on holiday in South Korea quite soon. I've decided I'll most likily rent a car (Avis probably) once I'm out of Seoul rather than take the buses and trains.

I just want to reaffirm my assumption that this is a good idea. Am I right to think that if I were reliant on local buses and trains in rural areas it *would* be hard to reach the out-of-the-way spots...(the reason I'd miss using public transport is missing the potential social interaction with locals and the reduced cost).

Thank you in advance
