With summer set to make many UK travelers hit the road, one new survey by Carrentals.co.uk now reveals that 1 in 6 people would like to have an illicit romantic liaison at a motorway service station. This is compared to the one in 20 people who already have.

The survey, which was done by the leading car hire comparison site Carrentals.co.uk, actually questioned over 2,3000 people on their own experiences at garages and service stations all over the UK. Although there were a wide range of complaints about cleanliness and prices, their was still an interest for a romantic tryst.

The managing director of Carrentals.co.uk, Gareth Robinson, said that: “This survey was designed to look at just what people think of motorway service stations, particularly the prices charged, and also the experiences they have had in them. The level of illicit romantic liaisons came as a complete surprise to us, but when you look at the most popular locations they all tend to be around the main travel routes through the country so service stations must make convenient, and secret, meeting places.”

The high costs that these service stations charge were the key issue of the survey. Almost 60% of all respondents said they wish service stations had lower prices. Another complaint that people also had were the toilet facilities. One out of every five people wanted cleaner bathrooms. The survey also found out that 53% of people spend about £26 – £50 per visit at a service station.

Gareth went on to say, “With many people being more cautious with money and opting against an overseas holiday, this summer is set to see more travelers hitting Britain’s motorways than ever before, but the main complaint that came from the survey was the prices charged in service stations. In the current climate and with the school holidays just around the corner, just driving from a to b can be expensive for parents, so the best option is to stock up on snacks and magazines before you set off.”
