This Skoda deal comes with a free holiday
Car changing is a big deal
Skoda is marking 10 years of the Kodiaq SUV with an offer giving new buyers a free UK lodge holiday with Forest Holidays, plus a test drive bonus incentive.
Skoda is celebrating a decade of its flagship Kodiaq SUV with a new offer designed to tap into Britain’s growing love of domestic road trips.
In partnership with cabin rental agency Forest Holidays, the brand is offering customers who order a new Kodiaq between 8 and 17 May 2026 a complimentary UK getaway. Here, you’ll receive a free three-night weekend or four-night weekday stay in a Silver Birch Lodge at one of 10 forest locations across the UK. These getaways are normally worth up to £1,100.
Locations include:
- Ardgartan Argyll, Scotland
- Blackwood Forest, Hampshire
- Cropton, North Yorkshire
- Deerpark, Cornwall
- Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire
- Garwnant, Brecon Beacons
- Keldy, North Yorkshire
- Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire
- Strathyre, Scotland
- Thorpe Forest, Norfolk
Alongside the holiday incentive, Skoda says it’s also offering a £750 test drive promotion. Customers who place a deposit between 1 May and 30 June 2026 will see the amount deducted from its price.
Why choose a Skoda Kodiaq?
We’ve tested the Kodiaq and we’d recommend it because it’s one of the most practical and family-friendly SUVs you can buy today. Spacious, comfortable and cleverly designed, it feels built for real family life, with loads of room for passengers, a huge boot and plenty of thoughtful storage features that make everyday driving easier.
The Kodiaq really comes into its own on long journeys and road trips. It’s quiet and comfortable on the motorway, the seats are supportive for hours behind the wheel, and there’s enough space for everything from holiday luggage to bikes and pushchairs. Features like cruise control, wireless charging and a quality infotainment system also help make family travel far less stressful.
However, alternatives are more fun to drive, and the plug-in hybrid isn’t available with seven seats. It also has some expensive optional extras, and its sheer size makes it tricky to manoeuvre through tight streets.
Ready for the summer road trips
The timing aligns with research from Skoda showing that 55% of drivers plan a UK trip in 2026, while many still associate road trips with strong nostalgic memories from childhood journeys. Popular destinations include Wales, Cornwall, Devon, the Lake District, and Yorkshire – locations that continue to dominate travel plans for the year ahead.
Skoda’s research also highlights the importance of comfort and convenience on long drives. Comfortable seating, spacious storage, and quality sound systems ranked highest among must-have features, alongside modern tech such as cruise control and wireless charging.
