Why Hire an MPV When Going on Holiday in the UK

MPV Hire · 24th November 2015

 

If you’re holidaying in the UK or are about embark on a lengthy road trip with the family onboard, you might want to consider forsaking a typical family car and renting an MPV instead. An MPV has many benefits over a standard-sized car that can make the travel time much more bearable, as this article will demonstrate.

More Space

More space on board is beneficial for many reasons:

  • If there’s a group of you, it can save having to rent more than one vehicle; all of your group can travel together, which is much more enjoyable
  • The extra legroom you get with an MPV means fewer leg cramps and aches which make a long car ride uncomfortable, and the more comfortable your passengers are, the quieter and more peaceful your journey will be
  • MPVs have much more room for luggage, which is always handy when travelling as a group

 

Cost-Effective

Hiring one MPV is more affordable than driving multiple cars as it saves you having to fork out for expensive petrol costs to fuel two cars. This is especially true when hiring an MPV from Gatwick Car and Van Hire as we offer free unlimited fuel with any MPV rental. Furthermore, hiring an MPV for long journeys mean putting less wear on tear on your own vehicles, which can lower maintenance costs over a prolonged period.

Improved Safety

MPVs are situated higher up than traditional cars, and this added height gives the driver improved visibility of the road. This is a great safety benefit for long journeys when you can start to feel drowsy and need to pay more attention. Furthermore, an MPV is more noticeable to other drivers, and this increased visibility means you’re much less likely to be involved in any sort of road collision. Safety is always of the utmost importance when you have your loved ones on board and is something to bear in mind when deciding on your means of transportation.
