We are at least June and summer is coming. Several million French people are preparing to go on vacation. For some, it is by car that they will leave in order to get to the beach, the countryside or the mountains. With the price of gasoline, car trips are logically less interesting than before. They are all the less so since many of us make a mistake that prevents us from saving money. We will explain everything to you.
The great departure on vacation
As we know, since the covid-19 crisis and the galloping inflation that is paralyzing France, the French go on vacation less. Simply because they don’t have enough money. This is terrible news both for the country’s economy, and especially for the physical and mental health of the French people.
Because yes, for psychological well-being, holidays are essential. They allow you to focus on yourself, to devote yourself to pleasant activities and to recharge your batteries emotionally. This contributes to higher self-esteem, greater personal satisfaction and an overall improvement in well-being.
The holidays provide a well-deserved break from work, daily responsibilities and stressors. Taking time to relax and rest can reduce stress levels and promote better mental health.

And yet, there is a very simple solution that allows you to spend less money when going on vacation. A very simple solution. To save money, just travel light.
It is AutoPlus which puts forward this trick. It’s simple, the heavier the car, the more fuel it consumes, especially on expressways. If there’s one piece of advice we can give you, it’s to travel with as little luggage as possible.. Sort it out and take only the clothes and items you really need on vacation.
Go on vacation while respecting the law
This is all the more important since it is illegal to overload your vehicle. And yes, you may not know it, but the Highway Code regulates the weight of vehicles.
In the event of an inspection, the police can give you a fine if you are not traveling light enough. What to inflate even more the note for the holidays.
