Packing For The Ideal Road Trip

Posted on 01.06.12

Road trips can be a great way to enjoy and explore the world around you and without spending a fortune as well. With the price of flying on the rise everyday, finding creative ways to explore the world around you without having to spend a fortune can help you make more of both your time and money when you travel.

Planning for the ideal road trip is not horrible complicated however, there is some planning required on your part. Though you do not have to worry about issues generally associated with flying such as security checkpoints or the cost of luggage, there are some aspects to planning your road trip that will require some forethought on your part. Take advantage of these tips to help you plan the perfect road trip and make the most of your valuable travel time and money.

Think Comfort First, Not Style – When you are driving, a fashion show is not what you should be thinking about. You will be trapped in a small space with not much room and no one will be looking at your clothes, therefore, comfort first. Not saying that you need to look like a slob either, but put your comfort first when planning what to wear on your feet as well as your body.

Remember Your Charger – Most of us have at least a cell phone that requires charging. Many of us have many other things which we bring along that rquire charging as well including laptops, pads and gps units. Remember to bring your chargers and avoid having to spend an extra 30 or more dollars on another one.

Emergency Kits Are A Must – Flashlights, batteries, jumper cables, sand or traction mats in winter, ice scraper, gloves, a blanket and water can all be handy in case of an emergency. Make sure you have this packed and also, make sure you check to be sure everything is in working order before you go.

GPS It – Just an easy way to ensure you can get to where you are going with less hassle, GPS units are not horribly expensive anymore and work quite well when planning the perfect road trip.

Maximize Space – Pack as much as possible in the trunk to save space and hassle. If you will need something frequently however, make sure you put it in an easy to get to place.

Bring A Cooler And Keep It Accessible – A cooler stocked with water and snacks can literally save you hundreds on a road trip. Not only can you avoid gaining weight and eating at fast food restaurants but you can also save money and time.
