Every person once in their lifetime dreamed about going on a road trip with their friends or family. Rubina Ratnakar, in this blog, helps you out in planning your dream road trip.
When planning a road trip, the first thing we need to search for is where do we want to go. We have to select a particular route on which we want to travel. You can select the cities you want to go to and then with the help of a map customize your route accordingly. Deciding on a route is the basic idea and important task to be done to proceed further. You can check out some great ideas for deciding the route ‘here‘.
Once you have decided where you are going to, the next question that arises is how will you go? You can take a bus, taxi or even your own private car. Keep in mind that your vehicle needs to be comfortable as you are going to travel a lot of distance by road. Take the vehicle according to the number of travelers because you will not be able to adjust in a small space for such a long time. Choose the vehicle that has enough space to place the luggage and leaves ample space for the traveler to sit.
While planning for a road trip, make the route a bit flexible, so in the case have to take a detour you don’t face any problems. Do not extend your trip too long to avoid fatigue and loss of interest. Decide the places where you will rest in between the trip.
Make sure more than 1 of you can drive to give rest to the one who has been driving for a long time. Decide the time window after which you are going to switch places.
Pre-book your hotels to avoid inconvenience and wastage of time on the trip. If all your reservations are made in advance you can directly go to the hotel and rest.
Do your research about places to eat and rest before going on the trip. Having places already in your mind will save time.
A road trip looks all fun in the movies but there are a lot of things to be looked after. You have to prepare yourself for emergency situations also. Keep spare tires, toolbox, and other car accessories that may be needed in case your car needs to be repaired. Always look for the safest route possible.
