Simple road trip hacks you need to know about
Spring is here and many of us are already planning our summer holiday road trips. But those ”spur of the moment” road trips are always the best, so check out these quick and easy road trip hacks and tips for a fun and worry-less road trip adventure!
1. Snacks are an important part of road tripping, especially if it’s a long trip. Always stay prepared and keep some snack in direct contact (aka not in the bottom bag with all other bags stacked on top).
2. Keep extra cash aside for toll gates. If you’re driving a route that’s unfamiliar to you, you might have to drive through an unforeseen toll gate or two.
3. You can always use a binder clip to make a car stand for your phone if you are using it as your GPS.
4. A cereal container is the perfect no-spill trash can. Trash laying around in your car is always nasty!
5. Bring along a lunch box or shower holder or something similar for easy eating, if you’re eating on the go it helps to have your food on a tray-like gadget.
6. If you’re parking your car when exploring a new city, drop a pin so that you can find your car again.
7. Take a screenshot of directions for in case the signal gets bad.
8. Bring along a two-port USB charger or a multi-way charger if you really like electronics.
9. Pack an emergency kit along.
10. Don’t pack in a million suitcases. If you are going with a few people rather pack more than one person’s belongings into one big suitcase as it takes up less space.
11. Be prepared with music either on CD’s or loaded onto a device. The radio signal is bad in some areas.
12. If you can, turn your cup holder into a multi-level container.
13. Always bring a map in case your GPS fails you.
14. Lastl, but not least – know how to change a tyre. This is important, especially for ladies. If you are unsure, let someone show you how to do it before hand or check out a video tutorial and keep instructions on you.
