Check for any Deferred Maintenance
Making sure that your vehicle is up to date on all it’s routine maintenances is important. Getting your oil changed, ensuring tire tread and pressure, vehicle registration, and your license are all good to go before hitting the road.
Map your Trip
We recommend taking a look at what routes you plan to take along your trip. After all, nobody likes getting lost and it can really impact the amount of time you have available for your fun adventures. Don’t miss out on seeing those landmarks or places you were looking forward to due to some wrong turns.
Budget your Trip
It’s a good idea to also take a look at the budget you’ll have for the trip. Using a fuel cost estimator can help give you an idea of how much you’ll be spending in gas. This can help you get an idea on how much to set back to ensure you can stock up on food and snacks, attending events/attractions, etc. It will also save you from having to buy pricy food at a roadside station.
Co-Op Driving
Taking turns driving can help to keep everyone safe by ensuring that the drivers are always awake and alert. Having a passenger that sits shotgun to interact with the driver can help to keep the driver awake as well. Chat, play a car-game, or simply jam out to your favorite music.
Pack a Road Trip “Survival Kit”
Regardless of whether it’s a long road trip ahead or not, always ensure that you are packed with the essentials should you find yourself in an emergency. Car chargers, water bottles, first aid kits, jumper cables, flashlights, and even a spare set of keys. If you’re headed through some colder areas, add blankets to that list. Doing these will give you peace of mind and allow you to be prepared to handle any unforeseen circumstances.
