New research from car manufacturer Dacia reveals that nearly a quarter (24%) of Brits struggle with packing everything they need into their car boot. With an estimated 36 million Brits planning to travel by car this summer, many will face the challenge of fitting all their gear, as 1 in 8 (12%) consider loading the car the most stressful part of a weekend getaway.
Car packing has even led to family disputes, with under 1 in 5 (19%) admitting that forgotten items often spark arguments. To alleviate this issue, over a fifth (21%) of Brits are considering purchasing a roof rack, with popular choices for top-of-car items including mattresses, canoes, and tables. Packing the car has become such a challenge that nearly a third (31%) of Brits have bragged about their packing prowess to friends or family.
To help Brits optimise their car space this summer, Dacia, known for its outdoor spirit, has teamed up with UK Tetris Champion DanV. Drawing from his gaming experience, DanV offers top tips for efficiently packing a car boot, ensuring Brits make the most of their space for summer adventures.
