These are all great advice for road trip planning! I use to have to drive a lot for my job and I would go through a checklist like this all the time right before I had a long driving trip. Thanks for sharing!

Great advice, it’s so important to make sure your car is in working order before a road trip, and definitely don’t wait until the morning of! You want to check at least a week in advance so you can be sure you have time to fix or replace if you need to. Thanks for sharing!

Over the years my wife and I have learned that having a “fresh” driver is valuable. We trade off every two hours. You might not think you’ll ever fall asleep at the wheel, but it happens too often and the results are bad.

It’s often the little maintenance things that escape our mind when preparing for a big road trip. Usually, I don’t think about my tire pressure or spare availability until I am in desperate need of it, like you say. Keeping a checklist like this would be a great way to ensure that these issues are taken care of before you even get going, though.

These are such great tips! My husband and I like to hit the road very often and our last road trip was a disaster. We got stopped by cops 3 different times and got tickets 2 out of the 3 times. One was because our registration has expired, the second was because one of our blinkers had gone out, and the last time was because we were speeding. It saves you money to inspect your car before you go on the road.

Don’t forget a constant supply of water for emergency purposes, wouldnt want to leave an overheating car in the middle of nowhere, my 2 cents on that.

In reply to Jasmine Monahan. Happy to help. It's always better to spend a little time before a vacation to make sure everything is a-ok, than having something ruin your trip.
