From losing precious time – 44 percent citing that delays and
other problems traveling by air has cost them vacation time – to
safety concerns – 32 percent feeling less safe flying compared to a
year ago, Americans are saying “enough!” This summer they’re
trading wings for wheels: An astounding 70 percent say they are
more likely compared to a year ago to choose traveling by
automobile over flying due to the current state of air travel.
The “baggage” that comes with air travel continues to stack up
and now outweighs the benefit of faster travel time for many
Americans, according to the survey. Sixty-six percent say the
number of hours they’re willing to drive before choosing to fly has
increased in the past 12 months and 24 percent say they would drive
10 or more hours for summer vacation before choosing to fly.
Heeding consumers’ preference for summer vacation by automobile,
Advance is encouraging travelers to “Check Your Battery, Not Your
Bag” so they can achieve what matters most – enjoying their
well-deserved summer vacation.
Beginning National Road Trip Day this Friday, May 24 through
Monday, May 27, participating Advance stores nationwide will
surprise randomly selected customers with free Advance gift cards
to purchase DieHard® batteries, wiper blades or other road trip
essentials, no previous purchase necessary. Complimentary curbside
services are available every day throughout the year to customers
at all participating Advance stores, including battery checks and
installation, wiper blade installation and check engine light
scanning.
“With all the concern about air travel and more people planning
to travel by automobile – including willing to drive longer for
their summer vacations – it’s critical they prepare their vehicles,
and we want to make that as easy as possible,” said Junior Word,
Advance’s executive vice president, U.S. stores. “Safety and
reliability are at the center of ease, so our team of automotive
experts are offering travelers a one-stop preparation shop – from
car care essentials to curbside battery checks and installs on
us.”

they will prepare a pre-road trip checklist for their vacation. To
