Summer holidays can be stressful experiences, with packing limitations, public transport strikes, and high costs. This year, Summer France is making holidays easier with flexible arrivals and stays and its brand-new fuel incentive.
For many, driving abroad is the most comfortable option – families and friends spend more time with loved ones, experience unexpected adventures along the way, and don’t need to worry about the weight of a suitcase or strict timings.
The recent series of flight cancellations and extremely busy airports is making driving to a holiday destination even more attractive. And to counter the rising fuel prices Summer France is offering £200 towards fuel prices when travelling to one of its properties. The company also offers Free Cancellation on most of its accommodation; clients can cancel up to 30 days before arrival without any costs incurred.
Summer France has a wide selection of properties in northern and western France, meaning the drive to the perfect self-catered villa, holiday cottage, or apartment, isn’t ludicrous.
