Planning a road trip can be fun, but it is important to have your Road Trip Essentials in place for a safe and carefree journey. At Daltons Midway, we believe that preparation is the first step to a successful road trip. Here’s a guide to Road Trip Essentials that will keep you prepared and worry-free on the road.
- Vehicle Inspection: Our expert mechanics at Daltons Midway recommend checking tires, brakes, fluids, Your Car battery, and lights before heading out on the road.
- Emergency Kit: While on the road, it is important to have an emergency kit packed in Your Vehicle. This kit should include a first aid kit, jumper cables, a flashlight, and a few basic tools (wrench, screwdriver).
- Personal Hygiene Items: You and Your Car can stay clean and healthy on the road — it’s a good idea to carry hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, bug spray, and sunblock.
- Entertainment: What most of us consider the most important part of the Road Trip! (But please don’t neglect the safety items above.) Music is a given, but what about audiobooks or podcasts? Coloring books if you’re with young children? Portable games (or games that don’t need equipment: count the number of out of state plates)?
- Your Camera: So important for capturing memories with friends and family.
