A new survey showed that the average parent will drive over 1,400 miles for a vacation before considering another mode of transportation.
For 57% of parents, family vehicles have earned their home 2.0 status due to the fact that they’ve owned it longer than their apartment or house.
Almost two-thirds of parents spend at least 30 minutes driving every day, with 12% spending more than three hours each day behind the wheel. On average, parents have owned their car for about five years, though 25% have been driving the same wheels for seven or more years. “Family cars are not just modes of transportation, but vessels of memories,” said a spokesperson for Kelley Blue Book. “From road trips to soccer games, first dates to driving tests, family cars have been witness to countless life events and have become a part of the family story.”Despite the stereotypes, almost three-quarters never thought they’d own the type of car they currently own — 26% currently own a minivan and another 19% consider it their ideal family vehicle.
