5 Tips for Holiday Car Trips

Its official……the holiday season has arrived. It is time to start prepping for the big holiday travels. Whether it is several hours to spend time with family, or braving the roads for the big shopping trips- these 5 tips will keep you safe and reduce some of the holiday stress. Easton Motors is here to give you a few quick tips to make the trip as stress-free as possible!

 

  1. Map your trip – Get your GPS ready. Update the maps and software, and know your routes before you hit the road. It’s not a bad idea to carry back- up maps and have a couple of alternate routes planned.

 

  1. Entertain on the road – Boredom is the worst on the road. Plan and play car games, listen to holiday music, have technology products like tablets and portable DVD players charged and ready to go. Give the kids a road trip allowance for gifts and treats for those must-needed pit stops along the way.

 

  1. Stop often for merriment – We plan the stops for gas and bathroom breaks. Start planning for fun stops, taking in fun sites, or some traditional shops (I have my favorite candy shop).

 

  1. Stay safe – We all know Click It or Ticket (buckle up). Follow the rules of the road. Also, have a safety kit in the car and emergency supplies, and don’t forget to stock a little food and drink if you get stranded.

 

  1. Prep your Car – It’s better to spend time on this time before the trip vs on the trip. Get your oil and fluids changed and topped off. Simple maintenance like tire pressure and rotation, or getting the brakes checked out can keep you from ending up on the side of the road.

 

Remember this is quality family time before, during, and after your trip. Have fun, be safe, and most important build quality memories with your loved ones! Have trouble on the road? Call us at 877-254-6855 to see what we can do to help get you back on the road!
