Easter

Easter, that lovely turning point from winter. The cold nights are on their way out, the days are lasting longer, and it’s slowly getting warmer. So, let’s take a look at how you can make the most out of your…

Students

For those of you studying at university, this is a perfect opportunity for you to have some downtime.

With this time off there are plenty of things you can do to spend the free time, one opportunity students may want to take is a part-time job, or maybe even look to gain some work experience. This way when you head back to uni you’ve got plenty of spare cash to make the most of your uni experience! 

If you’re lucky enough to be able to take a trip away, then you should definitely take advantage of this! A trip away is a perfect time to relax and reset to go back ready for the final term of the year (or uni altogether!). If a trip away is a bit much just for Easter break, then visiting the hometown of the pals you’ve made in uni is a great alternative to going away and still being able to explore.

 If you need a car on a temporary basis for work or travel for you to enjoy your Easter, then we have the solution for you. 

 Veygo’s temporary car insurance is a great way to get about this Easter with the pesky planning of train schedules. It allows you to insure your car, your parents, or maybe even a friend’s car so that you only pay for the insurance that you need.

Easter eggs hidden in cars

For all you movie buffs out there you’ll be familiar with a different kind of Easter egg, superhero movies love them. It’s not just Peter Rabbit and Hollywood that can hide Easter eggs, certain car manufacturers also have a few for you to try and find.

Vauxhall

Vauxhall recently went viral on TikTok after users rediscovered their shark Easter egg. They hid a little shark around the vehicles where they can and it’s up to you to find them, here’s a little video explaining. 

 Jeep

Jeep’s Easter egg is similar to the Vauxhall’s shark, with their own little twist on it of course. A small silhouette of one of their classic Jeeps or a jeep car part can be found around the car, and sometimes it’s etched into a bit of plastic somewhere.

 Tesla

Tesla are the king of novelty tricks with their cars, so they had to be added to the list. With their huge touchscreen display and insane external speaker system, it’s no surprise that there are loads to discover! 

 Skoda

Skoda also has some nifty little Easter eggs up their sleeves. These could perhaps be considered handy features, but as they’re somewhat hidden, they’re being added to the Easter egg hunt!
