How caravanners can beat the petrol price hike in Europe

Posted by Linda Davidson

Holidaymakers searching for caravan water heaters in preparation for an overseas break can beat the petrol price hike in Europe with a little planning and preparation, it has been suggested.

According to Sarah Munro, head of Post Office Travel Money, it is important to take into consideration the cost of fuel before travelling to Europe on a driving holiday in order to keep costs down.

She explained: "In the UK, unleaded fuel is a relatively good price in relation to Europe, so you are probably better off filling up before you leave the country.

"If you drive a diesel car the only place to buy diesel that's more expensive is Norway, so you are probably better off getting your diesel before you go overseas."

Those who have Truma Ultrastore caravan water heaters fitted in their caravans should also get their money sorted out before they leave as there are some rural areas that may not take credit cards at the petrol station.
