Holidays 2023, more expensive train and plane travel, a week at the beach costs 700 euros more

Car holidays: improve the price of the tank but increase the motorway

Going on vacation this summer won’t be cheap. Between the increase in plane and train tickets and the expensive umbrellas, we must prepare for a small sting. On the other hand, the expenses for those who travel by car or by ferry have improved. The good news is in fact that, according to the accounts made by Federconsumatori, traveling by car during the Italian summer of 2023 will not be as expensive as last year. Assuming a stretch of about 600 kilometers (for example Milan-Lazio coast or Florence-Bari) a family who will take the car to reach the holiday destination will spend almost 93 euros on fuel (in 2022 it was 102 euros). But if the high price of petrol was last year’s problem, this year it is the motorway toll that is increasing. Always imagining a journey of 600 km, the toll will cost 48.60 euros, or 2 euros more than in 2022. This is because the Meloni government has given the green light to increases on the motorway network. In practice, the adjustment compared to the winter period is +3.4%. Obviously, the cost will be the same to go home. Therefore, transport by car to reach the holiday area about 600 km away it will cost more than 280 euros in totalbetween petrol and tolls.
