Thanksgiving is the perfect ocasion for a trip.  Some people gets these dates to meet their family, while others want a relaxing or exciting time with friends.  No matter what the objective of your trip is, there are some important tips that you should keep in mind if you are going on the road; so to help you out a little bit, here's what we recommend you to ensure that you will have a  whole great thanksgiving vacations.

 

1. Choose your vehicle.

Ok, if you are travelling with a group, then decide what car is better, it means, if everyone's car is equally good, then pick the one that gets the best gas mileage and where all the travelers will feel comfortable.  If none of the cars is reliable enough, there's the option of renting a car; in this case, you may want to get an oil change before you leave, just to make sure it all is ok. 
PD: Don't forget to pack a car first aid kit, your jack and a spare tire!



2. Get covered

Get covered by an insurance company.  If you rented a car, compare prices between the rental car insurance and what your insurance company offers you on rental cars. 



3. Map your route

You certanly mark your route in a GPS, however sometimes technology fails... or the GPS does not find an address, or does not get signal; and there is where the paper maps are needed; so make sure you pack a map and highlight your route.  



4. Packing

If you are going to have a long on road trip, then carry things that can make your trip more comfortable like pillows, music, bottles of water and snacks.  About the luggage, take into account the car size before you start packing, bring with you only what you need and a few things you may want in case you are travelling in a small, compact car.  Always see how big your luggage can be, depending on how big the space in your car is.  



5. Enjoy it

If you followed those steps, then it's time to enjoy your trip!
