Car guys and gals tend to be passionate about their vehicles and their love of the open road, and that might be one reason why the average summer vacation road trip is hundreds of miles. Though there's more to a driving vacation than a love of the open road, a recent survey from Road Runner Auto Transport found that 42 percent of respondents planned to drive between 200 and 499 miles for their summer vacations in 2025. An additional 26 percent intended to drive between 500 and 999 miles. The romanticization of the open road affects a significant percentage of road trippers, 14 percent of whom identified nostalgia for classic road trip memories as their motivation to take a driving vacation.
