Why Road Trips Are Ideal for Vegans

Road trips are an amazing option for vegans wanting to explore the world or their own country as they allow for a greater degree of flexibility and spontaneity. Imagine no more crowded train stations, no more rushing to catch a flight, just simply meandering around at your own pace, doing your own thing. It sounds enticing, doesn't it? And once you've found the perfect road trip vehicle from a trusted and reliable car hire company, the world is literally your (plant-based) oyster!

Let's take a further look into why road trips are great for expanding your vegan horizons and seeing what the world has to offer you!


Freedom to Explore


Imagine taking coastal routes, immersing yourself in the beauty of where land meets water, and all of a sudden you stumble across a tiny hidden bakery specialising in unique vegan pastries that smell divine and too good not to sample.


Or your route leads you to a family business that has perfected the art of vegan friendly dishes that taste so good you're amazed they're not made from animal products. One of the best ways to uncover these hidden gems is by simply going where the wind takes you and seeing what happens.


Easy Access


These days, vegan festivals and retreats are a booming industry, and hiring a car for a road trip means you can easily access these locations, which, as you can imagine, aren't always located within easy access of public transport with little to no hassle at all.

Just think of the freedom of being able to change your plans to accommodate a stopover at a festival or vegan event, even if it means crossing the country to get there. It's infinitely easier than waiting for a train that ends up being cancelled, with bus services replacing rail travel.


More Sustainable


While car travel isn't always the most sustainable way to travel, it can be greener if you hire the right vehicles, such as electric or hybrid vehicles. This means you can keep your emissions low as you get around from place to place.


Convenient


Nothing screams fun more than lugging your home comforts and favourite foods and snacks around with you on and off public transport in case your landing spot isn't vegan friendly. If this isn't your cup of tea, then you will love the added convenience of car road trips.


You need to take with you what you need and have a cool box or bag handy for keeping those essentials close by. Need some oat or soya milk for your cuppa, no problem, you can pull it out of your cool box. Need vegan-friendly snacks at 3 am when pulling the last leg of your journey for that epic sunrise you've always wanted to see? They're right there in the car with you.


Less Stress


While many countries and locations are vegan-friendly these days, there are over 3,000 places to eat vegan-friendly food in London alone, the availability of appropriate food choices isn't always the same in more remote locations or outside of busy cities or tourist hotspots. Having what you need for an easier trip with you can massively reduce stress and deliver you a more optimal trip than having to make do or go without because you can't have what you need.
