Craving a refreshing summer escape? Ditch the plane or train and hit the road in your own car. Whether exploring France or venturing into Italy, road trips deliver unmatched freedom—stop on a whim for sunny weather or a hidden charming village. This summer, inject spontaneity into your routine and embrace full living after months of restrictions. Booking.com understands this shift perfectly.
As travel rebounds, Booking.com champions the road trip. "After a long period of restrictions, travelers want to go back," says Bryan Batista, Senior Vice President of the Trips division at Booking.com. "Well over half of travelers plan to avoid public transport on their next getaway. For that, nothing like a road trip, to hit the road and see where it takes them. Exploring the world on your terms matches the trend for more independent and personalized travel. As the vast majority of our car rentals come with free cancellation, they provide the flexibility to deal with whatever surprises the world throws at us."
