So, perhaps Londoners are escaping to the countryside after months of being stuck indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in comparison, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/car-hire\/united-kingdom\/scotland\/\">Scottish<\/a> bookings have been sparse.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may suggest that people are waiting until more news about easing restrictions breaks, before booking their next trip away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are people planning their trips and holidays yet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"770\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2018\/05\/JHM_4921.png\" alt=\"Range Rover Sport from the side with trees and greenery\" class=\"wp-image-238 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2018\/05\/JHM_4921.png 616w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2018\/05\/JHM_4921-240x300.png 240w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 616px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 616\/770;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But, how many people are taking the plunge, and booking anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our analysts found that there has been an increase in bookings since the government\u2019s announcement of the roadmap.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, we found that there had been a 6% increase in our bookings for the month of April, before and after the day of the announcement alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bookings have been made from the day that restrictions begin to lift mid-April, all the way through the rest of the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our analysts also found that there were more bookings in summer than any other time in the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, are we looking for a quick weekend away, or will the UK be a replacement for a long summer\u2019s holiday abroad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our data revealed that most customers were booking longer trips, with 72% of bookings being for five days or more.
