With the weather getting hotter and hotter each year, it’s no surprise that many people choose to holiday in Britain rather than go abroad to chase the sun. One thing that you may need when you holiday here is a good car to get you from A to B for a week or two. If you’re planning a staycation here in the UK but need a more accessible vehicle, you’re probably wanting to make sure you’ve got the right car for the job, especially if you’ve got a partner, kids and perhaps a pooch in tow. So with that in mind, we’ve put together this list of cars on the Motability scheme that could be the perfect companion for your trip. Each model comes with plenty of cabin space, a comfortable drive and loads of luggage room.
SEAT Ateca
A comfortable, mid-sized SUV offering clever packaging solutions and a decent boot making it a sure-fire hit with families. It even comes equipped with new cold-weather windscreen heating system so if you fancy going away over the winter months, you can defrost your windscreen within seconds.
The SEAT Ateca comes with advanced technology including wireless connection to the infotainment screen with your smartphone as well as wireless charging. The 10.25 inch Digital Cockpit also splits into three views, allowing you to focus on the road ahead when setting off on your staycation.
The Ateca powertrains include:
- 1.0 TSI 110 PS 6-Speed Manual
- 1.5 TSI 150 PS 6-Speed Manual
- 1.5 TSI 150 PS 7-Speed DSG Auto
Volkswagen Golf Estate
Known for their iconic cars, Volkswagen has a real knack for making the most out of a single model. The Golf Estate is no exception. It brings more in the way of practicality while retaining the latest Golf’s technology-focused cabin. A head up display means that you needn’t take your eyes off the road, providing navigation and speed details.
The Golf Estate is noticeably longer than its predecessor, which allows it to offer more rear-seat space and a larger boot, too. You can find up to 611 litres of storage available in the boot, rising to 1,642 litres with the rear seats folded flat. There’s plenty of room for the driver, passengers and cargo or luggage. An electric tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof encourages ample light into the vehicle, giving the illusion of even more space and airiness.
Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace
The Tiguan has been around for a while now and has built a reputation for being a stylish and practical family SUV. But if you want a little more space, then the aptly named Tiguan Allspace might just be the answer.
Underneath it’s virtually the same car as the Seat Tarraco, but it gets the Volkswagen treatment meaning a sleek infotainment system, virtual cockpit and strong levels of build quality. Another option that can seat up to seven people, the Tiguan Allspace is a great choice for large families or those wanting to take the dogs away with them too.
If you’re looking for a drive that provides entertainment and a comfortable experience, the Allspace has it all. With heat insulated tinted windows, 3 zone climate control, 8 speakers located in the front and rear and lumbar support in front seats, this car has been designed with your comfort in mind.

Peugeot 5008
Peugeot's latest models sport a stylish and well-made interior that puts it streets ahead of other mainstream models. That’s true here with the 5008, with high-quality materials and some impressive technology used. The cabin provides a host of features including a 12.3” head-up digital instrument panel, 10-inch capacitive touch screen and compact multi-function steering wheel to help you get the most out of your car.
There are also plenty of practical features such as underfloor storage, a massive boot when the rear seats are down, and loads of configurability to suit any size of family and their luggage. It also benefits from Peugeot’s latest range of economical engines.
Trim levels on the 5008 include Active Premium Plus, Allure Premium Plus and the GT.
