Six advantages of going on holiday by car

It’s always a nice prospect when you go on vacation. There are many different options to reach the holiday destination. Many holidaymakers opt for the plane, the car, the bus, or the train. By plane, you are, of course, the fastest if you travel to a distant destination. If you go by car, it brings even more advantages. In this post, you will read more about the advantages of a car holiday.

Traveling by car, six advantages in a row:

1. You can leave whenever you want

One of the major advantages of going on holiday by car is that you can leave whenever you want. You do not have to be at Schiphol hours in advance, and there is also no bus to catch. The only thing you have to take into account is the times when you can check-in at your booked accommodation. And it is also useful to pay attention to the busy times on the road; if you have no obligations, you can also avoid the crowds.

2. You have transport on location

Besides the fact that it is usually cheaper to travel by car than by plane, it also gives a lot of freedom. Once you’ve reached your destination, you might desire to explore the area as well. So, how ideal is it that you always have the car on hand? You do not have to pay for a rental car or study public transport, because unfortunately it is not as well organized everywhere as in the Netherlands. A fly-and-drive holiday is also a good alternative: quickly in the country of destination and a car as soon as you land. However, you should thoroughly familiarize yourself with the insurance policies and conditions of the car to be rented in advance.

3. You can take a lot of stuff with you

The biggest advantage (secretly also the biggest ‘danger’) of going on holiday by car is that you can fill every part of the trunk with stuff. You don’t have to worry about taking liquids or how big and heavy your suitcase may be. Can’t choose which pants to take with you? Then you take them both, right? Please note that a car also has a maximum loading weight. Is a car too heavy? Then the car can skid in bends. And the heavier the vehicle is loaded, the more fuel you use. So think a bit about what you pack. You can find the maximum loading weight on the vehicle’s registration certificate.

4. You can travel at your own pace

During a car holiday, you can stop wherever and whenever you want. Would you like to stretch your legs? Then you can stop at a gas station. Do you come across a nice village along the way? Then you can always deviate from the planned route. In addition, it is (usually) very pleasant to sit in the car with your family. That means singing along to the radio undisturbed. After all, you are not bothered by unknown fellow passengers.

5. You have more control

We’ve all experienced it. Flights that were canceled and trains that were not running. When going on holiday by car, you are in control of your journey. To a large extent, because, of course, you can always get unlucky along the way. Or get stuck in a long traffic jam. Check the car carefully before you leave. Think of the tires, the oil level, and the coolant. Also, check whether you have the right car insurance or whether you may need to take out additional coverage. Such as roadside assistance abroad.

6. You cause less CO2 emissions

In addition to all the benefits for yourself, there are also benefits for the environment. In any case, if you keep the trip next to a plane trip. Are you going by car instead of by plane? Then you cause less CO2 emissions. The more people in the car, the higher the weight. This increases fuel consumption slightly. However, CO2 emissions per person are still falling. If you replace the car more often by the bus or the train, then you are actually doing even better.
