Tourism is one of the largest industries in the UK, worth an estimated £115 billion. Many holidaymakers travel to attractions by car, not to mention the hoards of Britons that drive to the airport or ferry port before setting off to even warmer climes

Green Flag receives more than 500,000 calls for assistance from motorists during the height of summer (June – August). That’s a lot of wasted hours spent stranded at the roadside that could have been spent relaxing on the beach!

Follow Green Flag’s simple car maintenance guide to make sure you and your vehicle have a hassle-free time this summer.
