Tips for Choosing the Perfect Vehicle This Summer

The right car for a relaxed and flexible summer journey

Summer is travel season – whether it’s a quick day trip, a weekend getaway, or a longer holiday with friends or family. Depending on your destination and travel plans, different types of vehicles make sense. Here are our tips to help you choose the perfect ride – no matter where the road takes you.

🚗 1. For Everyday Use: Compact & Air-Conditioned

Driving in the city or covering short distances? A compact car is the ideal choice. It's fuel-efficient, easy to park, and with air conditioning, it stays comfortable even at 30 °C and above.

Tip: If possible, choose a model with a light-colored interior – dark seats heat up faster in the sun.

🚙 2. For Weekend Trips: SUV or Crossover

Planning a day by the lake, a mountain hike, or a countryside escape? An SUV or crossover offers more ground clearance, comfort, and trunk space – ideal for picnic baskets, beach gear, or hiking equipment.

Tip: Make sure the trunk space is sufficient – especially when traveling with friends or family.

🚐 3. For Family Holidays: Spacious Van

Heading to a holiday home in the south or a lakeside camping spot? A van or minivan with multiple seats and plenty of storage is perfect for family trips. Travel stress-free with everything you need – from strollers to coolers.

Tip: Built-in sunshades or tinted windows help keep the interior cool and comfortable on long drives.

🚘 4. For Business or Style: Sedan or Mid-Size

Even in summer, style and professionalism matter – whether for business meetings, formal events, or special occasions. A comfortable sedan or mid-size car with a quiet ride and a sleek design is your go-to option.

Tip: Some newer models offer seat ventilation – a real plus when it’s hot outside.

⚡️ 5. For Modern Mobility: Electric Vehicle

Looking to drive more sustainably? EVs are especially efficient in warm weather. With low energy consumption, access to many charging points, and features like pre-conditioning, electric cars are a smart summer choice.

Tip: Use your provider’s app to check battery status and find available EVs – no surprises when you’re ready to hit the road.
