Law (general) / Mesures accessoires (divorce) - Québec
French term or phrase: déplacement de la famille
Under the heading "Règlement du partage du patrimoine familial" there's an item entitled:

"Véhicules automobiles ayant servi au déplacement de la famille". The heading is followed by this statement: "L'épouse demeurera seule et unique propriétaire de l'un des deux véhicules automobiles ayant servi au déplacement de la famille, soit un véhicule de marque Ford..." No more context, I'm afraid.

I was wondering about "family travel".

family travel


Explanation:
Your answer is excellent. I'd go with that

"automobile used for family travel"

How could you say it any better?

Nice and concise term. It is a naturally-sounding English term.

By the way, "Je me déplace beaucoup" means "I travel a lot".

"mes déplacements" would be "my travels"
