A rising number of Brits are opting for driving holidays abroad in order to dodge long check in queues and stressful airport transfers according to American Express Insurance Services. Despite rising petrol costs a large number of Britons are preparing to take to the roads this school half term, 
one reason for this is the freedom and convenience of having a car on holiday, being able to travel when and where you want. Also there has also been a renewed interest in travelling by ferry due to short check in times.
Research shows:
- One in 10 Brits (9%) are considering taking their family on a driving holiday to Europe
- 32% of Brits are considering going on a caravan holiday and travelling to the destination by car
- 27% of Brits are considering a camping holiday if they could get there by car.
Chris Rolland, Head of American Express Insurance Services commented:
“For many hard working Britons it seems there are simply not enough hours in the day. For some, long working days means that they don’t want to waste any more time than necessary with long check-in times.
Consequently the trend appears to be taking a return to family drive holidays. We would like to advise Britons to ensure they have the correct cover in place to give people a greater peace of mind, allowing them to relax and enjoy their holidays. Customers with American Express Car Insurance get automatic European cover for up to 90 days a year and a courtesy car as standard while they wait for any repairs to take place.”
