Holidays: essential Android apps on the go

This weekend is the traditional crossing of holidays. As every weekend in July and August, thousands of motorists returning or leaving on vacation will block French highways. Heavy traffic is expected all afternoon and most of the evening on the A7, A9 and A10 motorways this weekend from Friday 23 August to Sunday 25 August. This applies to the lucky ones going on vacation, as well as to drivers on the way back. We recommend equipping your trusty smartphone with these 5 Android apps to avoid the journey and traffic jams that await you.

Waze: to find your way

You will need a GPS app to guide you to reach your resort or from the comfort of your home. Instead of traditional Google Maps, we invite you to try the adventure with Waze, the most complete GPS in the Play Store. The app, purchased by Google, displays danger zones in real time (including speed cameras). A must to avoid unpleasant surprises on the holiday road. If you don’t like Waze (that’s your right), we have other free GPS on Android to advise you.

Bison Futé: to avoid traffic jams

The famous Bison Futé app allows you to monitor the status of the French road network in real time. Created in 1976 after traffic jams caused by the crossing of Julymakers and Aoutians, Bison Futé provides precise information on road congestion and advice to avoid being stuck in your car for hours. Necessary.

Gasoline / Diesel Now: To find fuel at the best price

If you have decided to go on vacation by car, you will inevitably have to stop at a gas station. With Gasoline / Gasoline you can now find the closest or cheapest gas stations on your route. The app is equipped with a price comparator that lists more than 10,000 service stations. Petrol / Diesel Now is one of the best Android apps for finding cheap fuel.

help me: in case of malfunction

Unfortunately, even a small glitch can happen quickly, even during the holiday period. Whether your trusty car is dropping off or a driver is bumping into you, you may need a towing service. When you get lost in the middle of an unknown section or right in the middle of your resort, you can rely on the Depann’moi app to find an attractive grocery store in the area. In the process, the app also provides an estimate of the price of your repair to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

automatic e-report: in case of a problem

Accidentally hit another car on your vacation route? The first thing to do is to prepare a friendly report with the person concerned (if possible). If you are not sure how to do this, the e-constat auto application has been developed for you. The app makes it easy and fast to report material accident to your insurer. All you have to do is complete the requested steps, add the photos, data of the two drivers… The app will take care of sending the report to your insurer.
