Bon voyage - going on holiday with the car

Translation: machine translated
When the destination is not too far away, travelling by car is a good option, and not without its advantages: having your luggage close at hand and knowing that it is well stowed away. When the journey by car is longer, it's important to think about safety. We show you how to load your car correctly and how to stack your luggage safely.

In case of emergency
Before setting off, adjust the tyre pressure to the load being carried in the car and check your car's equipment. If your car breaks down anyway, don't forget to have a fluorescent waistcoat on board, many EU countries require this when you leave the vehicle. In the event of an accident, a first-aid kit is essential. If tyres or starting problems occur, it's very useful to have a tyre repair kit or starting aid to hand.

Travelling in comfort
A journey like this can often take several hours. When you're also stuck in traffic jams, the journey can quickly become very unpleasant. We recommend a neck support pillow to avoid any neck pain. Children must be correctly installed in a car seat for the journey. An elevated seating position improves visibility and makes the journey a little more pleasant and interesting for little ones. A travel cushion allows passengers to fall asleep comfortably.

Stopping boredom in traffic
"When do we get there?" - this question is bound to be asked. That's why you absolutely must think about entertainment. Games, audio books, favourite cuddly toys and small snacks can work wonders during the journey.
