Road Trip Tips for Spring Break

Spring break is right around the corner for many area schools and this is the perfect opportunity to get the family away for a few days. Whether you're driving to visit friends or family or going to a destination, Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC is here to help you prepare with some spring break road trip tips! Check them out:


Plan Your Route

Map your route of travel ahead of time. This can help you catch road construction that may put a damper on your travels. This can also help you better plan out your pit stops to ensure you and your crew have enough stops to get out and stretch.

Look over Tires

Before hitting the road, ensure your vehicle tires have enough tread to property distribute if there is water on the roadway. It's also best to have the proper air pressure in each tire. This can help promote even tire wear and increase the longevity of your tires.

Fuel Your Crew

Pack snacks for your road trip! Having snacks on hand can help keep your crew fueled and hydrated. This can help avoid stopping for food every time someone on your trip gets hungry or thirsty. It can also save money on your road trip when you have food purchase ahead of time.


Provide Fun Games for Kiddos

If you have kids along for the ride, ensure you have plenty of activities on hand to keep the kids entertained. From handheld devices to card games to road trip games, you can keep the trip interesting and you'll always be ready when the "I'm bored" phrases start being thrown around!


Pack Strategically

When loading the bags and family up in your ride, ensure you have a good weight distribution. Don't over load a certain side of the car to promote an easy driving experience. Don't forget to think about passengers when loading up your vehicle. Ensure there is enough room for all passengers to ride comfortably.


Before You Leave for Road Trip:


  • Schedule an oil change to ensure your engine is properly lubricated.
  • Look over tires and schedule a replacement or alignment, if they are worn. 
  • Check tire pressure to encourage even tire wear. 
  • Have any odd noises looked at by a professional.
