Calculate your Holiday Stress
Holidays should be all about relaxing and having a good time. But the little things can sometimes get in the way, turning your hard-earned break into a stressful event.
You can avoid that tension on your next holiday with the help of our holiday stress calculator. Using market research, we've identified the biggest holiday stress factors and fed this data into our calculator, so you can check the stress factor before you book your next trip.
Surprisingly, trains were rated the least strenuous travel option, despite not being the most popular method of travel in the UK. Renting a car to get away and get around your destination was also rated relatively stress-free. To really limit the pressure, get yourself covered with car hire excess insurance.
