Motorists heading abroad over the summer should look into renting a vehicle as opposed to risking their own, it has been claimed.

Avis Rent a Car has stated that no shortcuts should be taken when it comes to travel insurance or rental costs during the period.

The company commented that planning a journey in advance is a good idea, while taking out motor assistance such as a car or van insurance policy will also protect motorists.

"Driver safety at home and abroad is our number one priority and we hope by giving our customers this advice we can help them avoid holiday road incidents," Daniel McCarthy from Avis Rent a Car said.

This comes as research from Sainsbury's has revealed that 17 per cent of motorists in the UK will head on to foreign soil with their vehicles over the next 12 months.
