Going on a road trip? The team at Value Van & Car Rental has a list of must-have items you won’t want to forget. Being on the road for long periods of time can be exhausting, but if you follow this list your travel experience will be less stressful and you’ll be able to focus on the fun.
Maybe the most important things to bring along on a road trip are the things you hope to never need but certainly don't want to be stuck without. Here are some items that can really save a bad situation from getting worse:
Additionally, depending on where you're going, sunscreen, bug spray, or other location relative items are good to bring along.
Credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are all incredibly convenient. Emergencies, however, may call for cash, and ATMs aren't always easy to find. On top of that, plan ahead and carry change for any toll roads you may be using.
You might think a paper map is a thing of the past because everyone carries a smartphone now. But if you happen to pass through an area with bad service, you can find yourself in a tough situation. A physical map can really come in handy if you find yourself in a pinch.
Your phone charger may be easy to remember, but what about your other electronics? A GPS device, laptop, iPad, and portable DVD player are all things you want to keep charged while on the road.
Lastly, let's not forget food and fun! It's a great idea to stock up on some easy-to-eat snacks and drinks so that you'll only need to stop for full meals. A trash bag isn't a bad idea either. As for entertainment, you can make a great music playlist, listen to audiobooks or podcasts, or (as long as the driver isn't playing) a handheld gaming system.
