With the car on holiday

Experience the ultimate freedom

The biggest advantage of a holiday by car? The ultimate freedom to go where you want. The car holiday is therefore not only ideal for families who prefer not to go too far from home, but also for groups of friends who want to go off the beaten path. You determine the travel time, choose the stops and you are not dependent on specific routes or travel schedules. Dive into the narrow regional roads and be surprised by the local shops or restaurants that you will encounter along the way. This way you not only avoid possible traffic jams, but your holiday also gets a completely different interpretation.

The best destinations for a holiday by car

Convinced of the possibilities that going on holiday by car offers? Then all you have to do is choose a destination! Let your imagination run wild and organize a road trip without a mapped out route. Outside the high season it is often doable to find accommodations along the way without booking far in advance. For example, drive towards the sun via France, Spain and Portugal. Or drive east and visit Italy, Slovenia and Croatia.

Prefer not to travel on the spec? Plan your route in advance and book your overnight stays in advance. This way you experience the freedom to stop where you want along the way, but you don’t have to worry about where you will spend the night.

A special car holiday

Narrow streets and undiscovered pearls

The great thing about going on holiday by car is that even hard-to-reach places suddenly become an attractive holiday destination. Are you going on holiday with a group of friends or do you want to surprise your children with a special car holiday? Then opt for lesser-known destinations or go off grid in hidden locations! When you avoid the big cities and tourist attractions, you often come across surprising places. Stop by a local wine farm, hidden bakery or small convenience store.

With your own car to the sun or snow

Well prepared for the road

Are you going for a long drive with your car? Then it is wise to walk along a few points in advance to make sure you are safely on the road. Always check your tire pressure, oil and brake fluid before you travel. Do you plan to drive a lot of miles? Then it can be a good idea to schedule a service at the garage before departure. Also make sure that your insurance papers are in order and that you have a warning triangle and vest in the trunk. Check a complete list of all obligations abroad on the website of the ANWB.

With an electric car on holiday

Do it completely sustainable? Then go on holiday with the electric car. Nowadays you will find enough charging stations in most European countries along the way, so that going on holiday with an electric car is no longer as difficult as it once was. The main point of attention concerns the charge cards: make sure you have the correct charge cards for the countries you visit on the way. Also download an app with which you can see all charging points on your route. This way you can be sure that you will never end up with an empty battery on the road!
