Car Traveling Tips

Traveling by car is a great and inexpensive way to go on vacation or visit family or friends. Many people are opting for a car ride rather than a flight, because it's cheaper and less restrictive in terms of what you bring along. If you are planning a trip in the near future in your vehicle, check out the car travel tips listed below to help you be prepared for anything on the road: 

• Take an extra car key. Keys can easily be lost or left behind, and having an extra key will be a lifesaving in this instance. 
• Bring an actual paper map with you, just in case you don't have service or your GPS fails. 
• If you're bringing a trailer or hitch, make sure that it is installed to regulations and that all lights are working properly. 
• Have your vehicle inspected before you hit the road to ensure that all is in proper working order
• Make sure you have driving arrangements planned so that one driver doesn't get stuck behind the wheel for an extended period of time
• Check your tires beforehand for the correct tire pressure
• Pack an emergency kit for situations like a flat tire, accident, etc. 

Car traveling is a great option, just make sure that you are well prepared for it! If your vehicle needs an inspection before your next trip, be sure to bring your vehicle into the experts here at Woodie's Auto Service & Repair Centers for service.
