Posted in Fleet, Pre-Owned

One of the greatest methods of measuring a vehicle’s worth and popularity is by measuring its resales. For example, a vehicle that is typically kept by the principal owner for an extended period of time without resale is typically very popular. Additionally, a vehicle that is quickly bought after resale also indicates a distinct popularity. The Pre-Owned Kia Sportage certainly reigns as a popular vehicle due to its resale desirability.

For the second time in a row, the Kia Sportage has attained the title of Auto Trader’s fastest selling used car in the UK. The vehicle sells very quickly, not just as a used vehicle, but new off the lot as well. The Kia Sportage comes with a wide variety of options and models. However, the fastest selling used vehicle in September was the 2015 Kia Sportage Petrol in a Manual.

Kia offers several road trip-ready vehicle options

How to Save Money on a Road Trip

By
Posted in Fleet, People

Summer may soon be over, but there’s still time for one last road trip! Road trips are once again becoming very popular among drivers in the United States, who want vacation experiences that are lest costly and more about making memories than visiting exotic locations.

Kia has long provided a wide variety of vehicles to choose from that are perfect a getaway. Whether you are looking for a daily driver, or something exciting to drive on the weekends, Kia has something in stock. The Kia Soul, Kia Sportage, Kia Sorento and  Kia Niro in particular are  great options for a road trip vehicle. 

Many people want to take road trips, but cave in and abandon the idea at the last second. A lot of this hesitation stems from the fact that road trips cost money. Depending on the trip, it can be quite costly. However, there are a few tricks to help save you some cash, while still having a great experience.

Travel Close

Just because you want to travel and see the sites doesn’t mean you have to break the bank to pay for gas. In fact, there are several amazing destinations that you can reach from Hamburg on just a single tank of gas. For instance, you can drive to New York City, Rehoboth Beach, or the Poconos all on one tank of gas. You can have some amazing experiences relatively “close” to home, while still getting to travel.

Kia Sportage has plenty of cargo room for vacation or road trips

Split the Cost with Road Trip Companions

While travelling on your own can be exhilarating, it is often a good idea to travel with at least one other person. While it is not only safer to travel together, you’ll end up saving some money. Imagine cutting the price of gas and lodging in half. Plus, you can have some great company!

Look for Low-End Lodging

 If you are taking a road trip, likely one of the biggest costs is lodging. A great way to make a road trip affordable is to cut down on the price of your room. Hostels are a great, affordable option, and are often quaint and cozy. If the route permits it, you could even consider camping in a tent.

Taking a road trip can be one of the most rewarding experiences out there. Don’t let unnecessary costs keep you from enjoying the open road.
