Question 1

When do vehicles relocate south for European summer?

Accepted Answer

Major relocations to Mediterranean destinations (Spain, Italy, Southern France) happen in April-May before peak summer season. Return relocations north occur in September-October after summer holidays end, creating excellent deal opportunities.

Question 2

Why are there frequent UK to mainland Europe relocations?

Accepted Answer

Many UK tourists take vehicles via ferry to explore mainland Europe, creating consistent demand for return relocations back to UK ports. Brexit has also affected fleet positioning, leading to more cross-channel relocation opportunities.
