US travellers go for sunny destinations this spring break
Drivers are hitting the road to Orlando, Los Angeles and Phoenix this Spring Break, according to travel insurance and assistance provider Allianz Partners’ review of the top rental car locations for Spring Break 2022
Warm-weather and outdoor destinations fuel the spirit of windows down, open road exploration with Tampa, Las Vegas, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Fort Meyers, Honolulu and Denver rounding out the top 10.
Even with gas prices topping US$4 per gallon nationwide, travelling by car brings families together and makes the journey a memorable part of the overall experience. To generate this year’s list, Allianz Partners USA reviewed 30,000 rental car reservations for mid-February thru mid-April from its partners that offer Allianz Rental Car Damage Protector.
The car rental findings are in line with a recent survey of the company’s airline customers that found that 81 per cent of travellers taking Spring Break trips in 2022 will be traveling within the continental US.
Gas prices aren’t dampening travel desire
“Gas prices are on everyone’s mind, but they aren’t dampening Americans’ desire to hit the road for Spring Break,” said Daniel Durazo, Director of External Communications for Allianz Partners USA.
Allianz Partners offers its Rental Car Damage Protector through travel providers and directly to consumers as an alternative to the typically higher priced collision damage insurance products that are offered at rental car counters. The product provides primary coverage, includes no deductible, can be purchased for domestic or most overseas rentals, and is backed by Allianz’ customer service and 24/7 travel assistance.
