Family holidays are a great way for you and the kids to get some much-deserved R & R. However, they also almost invariably come with their own stresses. Organising and rallying the troops from start to finish can be a bit of a task.
Travel logistics are often the main difficulty with it. So why not streamline the experience into the most pain-free version? It’s a holiday, after all. You want to maximise your downtime and minimise any stressors. Hiring a vehicle for your family getaways can really help.
Here are just a few reasons why.
Even If You Have Your Own Car
If you have a car, it may not even occur to you to hire a vehicle. However, there are many reasons hiring one can make for a smoother getaway. For instance, you can choose a vehicle that has more space and is in assured, tip-top condition. If your vehicle isn’t roomy enough for additional holidaymakers, such as extended family members or family friends, you can hire one that is.
With vehicle hire, you can choose the size and type necessary to retain the freedom and flexibility of self-drive transportation, whilst comfortably accommodating extra people. You can also be sure the vehicle will get you from A to B, being in expertly maintained condition and including breakdown cover in the unlikely event that you need it.
Space For Everything You Want
It’s not just additional members you can account for with vehicle hire, it’s all your extra holiday items too. Travelling by public transport means having to limit what you can practically bring. It may be impractical to pack your surfboards, swimsuits, board games, and luxury items, for example.
No one wants to be hauling such things from bus stations, through airports, to taxis to the hotel, just to do it all again in reverse on the way back. With the right vehicle, you could bring almost anything and everything you want on your holiday. You could bring a range of family activity items and home comforts without any more hassle.
Often Cheaper Than Public Transport
With public transport it’s not only the hassle of hopping from one mode of transport to another, having to remember times and destinations and connections and so on (with family in tow), it’s also the cost. Public transport can seem like the cost-effective choice when flights to western Europe are so cheap, but no matter where you go the total bill adds up quickly. Increasingly so the more of you there are.
You have to get to and from the airport and the hotel, or you have to get bus tickets to the seaside or the restaurant or the next town over, each time buying multiple fares. It’s easy to wind up spending a bomb on all those travel tickets, way over what you would for one vehicle hire and the necessary petrol.
