There’s nothing quite like a road trip to put a cherry on top of your summer.

As fun as they are, though, no summer road trip is without its hassles.

Don’t let a few bumps in the road (literally) hinder your good time. From messy cars, to those endless “are we there yet?”s, your last summer road trip will likely be your most fun. Here’s what to do to ensure your summer road trip is nothing but good times.

Have a plan

Not only is driving and fishing around on your phone, dangerous. It can scare the heck out of your passengers, too! It’s best to have a plan any time you hit the road. Program your GPS before take-off, and always be ready to go with a full tank of gas.

Stock up on entertainment

There’s nothing worse than road trip boredom setting in, and setting in hard! There are books and magazines, sure. But tuning into your favorite show on the road can’t be beat. Luckily, plenty of models we carry come equipped with innovative tech equipment. From clear television screens, to features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, there’s no shortage of fun on the road.

Keep it organized

Your car is likely to get dirty after a road trip, just like your kitchen is a mess after a good home cooked meal. But that doesn’t mean you’re going to stop cooking altogether! From fast food drinks, to empty chip bags and magazines, it’s almost impossible to keep a clean vehicle during a road trip. Fortunately, many of today’s modern models come equipped with ample storage space and compartments to keep things organized as you drive.

Safety first

Safety should be your first priority any time you hit the road. It’s even more important when your entire family is in tow. Luckily, many of today’s most popular vehicles are well equipped with innovative safety features.
