Peter Holt drove from through France, Germany, Austria, and Slovenia and meet up with his family in Croatia.
A dad had to drive 1,000 miles across Europe and shell out £3,000 to join his family on holiday after he fell victim to a passport rule.
Manchester Evening News reports that since 2021, UK passport holders travelling to any EU country will be denied entry ten years after their passport was issued - even if it still has extra months left. Peter, from Guildford, near London, said: "I was annoyed. We had booked the holiday in February, and it said nothing about an issue with the passport then.
Undeterred, at 11am, just three hours after the flight he missed took off, he was on the road. He said: “I had looked in the Uber drive for passport assistant appointments, but the website was saying clearly that there were not any due to the strike action. He then drove the remaining 608 miles through Germany, Austria, and Slovenia in 12 hours to meet his family at their hotel in Pula at 8pm. He said: "My kids, wife, and I were just elated that I had made it there in such a short period, of time
“I saw signs for places I had seen on the TV like France's Champagne regions and the Allianz Arena in Munich, I just wish I could have stopped off." Peter claims the journey cost him an extra £3,000 as he had to pay to get across the Channel, for hotels and for petrol.
