It’s nowhere near as expensive in the EU but it can be pretty close to the price of fuel in some countries. I regularly travel the same 700 kilometers through Germany and if you don’t book weeks in advance the fuel expenditure is often less than the price of the train ticket. Not to mention the comfort of a car is comparable to a first class seat which is even more expensive. But I guess you’d have to factor in maintenance as well.

Where? In my experience, that’s not the case at all in most of Europe, especially for a solo trip; three or four people sharing a car might be possible.
