A method for controlling the travel of a motor vehicle to an alternative destination that is different from an intended location, the method comprising:

• identifying an intended location including a point of interest;
• determining a usage rate at the intended location using a computing apparatus on the basis of data provided on the intended location;
• determining a plurality of possible alternative destinations with a respective point of interest corresponding to but different from the intended location on the basis of the data provided on the intended location if the usage rate exceeds a predefined usage rate threshold value;
• determining a predicted usage rate at the possible alternative destinations using the computing apparatus on the basis of data provided on the possible alternative destinations;
• selecting the alternative destination from the plurality of possible alternative destinations while taking into consideration the predicted usage rate at the possible alternative destinations;
• automatically controlling the propulsion and navigation of the motor vehicle to the selected alternative destination.
