The reasons for people increasingly opting for driving holidays include adopting a more eco-friendly approach to travel and avoiding the long queues and the stress of lost baggage at airports.

Chris Rolland, head of American Express Insurance Services, said: "Long working days mean that [Britons] don't want to waste more time than is necessary with long check-in times. Consequently the trend appears to be taking a return to family drive holidays."

Meanwhile, research has shown that Londoners are the most likely to holiday in the UK, with 45 per cent of them taking a break in Britain more than twice a year.

According to figures from Confused.com, Scottish people are the least likely to holiday in the UK with 24 per cent of those in Aberdeen saying they never take a break in Britain.
