Re: 80% of travelers plan to drive this Thanksgiving
Hi, Thanksgiving week is here and as we made it through the first wave of travelers, I wanted to circle back and see if Cars.com’s recent national travel survey data <https://www.cars.com/articles/heres-why-80-of-thanksgiving-travelers-will-drive-says-cars-com-survey-459056/>might be of interest for anything you’re working on. With 80% of travelers planning to drive this Thanksgiving, and a second wave hitting the roads on Turkey Day itself, there’s a lot for people to prepare for. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you’re interested in speaking with a Cars.com representative about this data. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks!
