Loughead Nissan’s Holiday Travel Tips:
Get The Right Tunes
- Road trip rule #1, don’t rely on the radio. The radio goes in and out in different spots and the same songs will get old quick. Prepare ahead of time and make a playlist that has a little of everyone’s favorites to keep the ride entertaining. Go ahead, feel free to throw in some holiday tunes to get everyone in the holiday spirits
Keep The Kids Entertained
- Few things are better than surprises when you’re a kid. So stash some road trip kits to break out when they’re getting restless. Include little goodie bags filled with stickers, coloring books, crayons, or anything you think could keep your little one entertained
Stock Up On The Essentials
- Depending on how long your ride is, be sure to pack snacks, water, medicine, and plastic bags for trash. Other crucial items? A full tank of gas, a phone charger, a first aid kit, and a few blankets.
Make Sure Your Ride Is Travel Ready
- It’s important that you service your vehicle if it has not yet been. Driving in the winter months means you could find yourself running into a mix of weather conditions. Making sure your vehicle is in tip-top shape is crucial to your vehicle’s performance and your safety
It’s All About The Journey
- The holidays are a time to spend with the family but with November and December being so busy you might find that you’re spending less time with them. Instead of bee-lining to your destination, enjoy the journey and maybe stop at some attractions along the way. Create those memories!
