Road trips are a fun way to see different places and can span counties and even countries. They’re often more affordable than flying and allow you to pack much more. The next time you plan a holiday or trip, consider renting a car and departing on your own exciting road trip. Depending on where you choose to complete your road trip, there are specific ways you can make sure it isn’t one you’ll forget.
Here are our tips for the perfect road trip.
Plan but don’t overcomplicate
Making strict schedules for your road trip is never going to be successful. Things are always susceptible to change and travel is probably the most commonly disrupted part of our lives. Traffic, road closures, oversleeping or a change in your mind can mean that you don’t stick to your original plan. Of course, it's always good to have a basic plan for your trip, where you want to go, where you will stay and what sights you want to see. But never make a plan so strict that it makes your trip unenjoyable or impossible to change. The best kind of trips will go with the flow and account for any last-minute changes.
Get up early and go to sleep early
Hitting the road early is a great way to avoid traffic as you watch the world wake up around you. You can fit more into your day and get to your next destination by sunset. It always feels better to arrive at a camping spot, Airbnb or hotel before the light is gone. This allows you to feel more comfortable, at ease and not have to worry about navigating tiny country lanes in the dark.
If something looks interesting, check it out
One of the fundamental rules for a good road trip is to explore anything that catches your eye. Whether it’s a sign for freshly made fruit ice cream or a lookout point that isn’t on the map, this can often lead you to exciting places that you may never have stopped at otherwise. You can meet interesting people and you’ll be surprised what can happen if you just trust your instincts.
