I was pretty certain that "station wagon" was the American term, but I used it anyway because honestly -- how many people outside the UK would actually know what an "estate/saloon" is? :) (Here in Germany, we usually call these vehicles "Kombi", from "combine" -- ie, a hybrid between a regular car and a transporter. Other countries probably have similarly specific expressions.)
Even going to the Continent may be quicker/easier by car than flying if you live in the South, depending on where you need to go (and time isn't that much of an issue. P:)
