Fun things to do when travelling in your car

Air trips are fast and convenient, yes! But road trips are a lot of FUN! It’s a lot quicker to travel by plane, but you miss out on all the beautiful sights and scenery along the way.

Thinking of taking a road trip soon? Here are some of the things you could do when travelling in your car to get the best out of your trip.

1. The Route

Before starting any sort of road trip, it is important to pick the perfect route to your destination. Have a look through a map and figure out the route that would suit you best. Just remember to take into account any tourist spot or scenic roads that could make your journey slightly more exciting.

If you are going through other states, it would be a good idea to let your car insurance know. Be sure to read your insurance policy or give them a call to be on the safe side.

2. Food log

If you’re travelling the distance, you should try new things. You will end up coming across many different restaurants and diners. Some of the places may not have your normal meals, so be ready to try something different and tickle your taste buds. Make yourself a log of all the different things you try so you can share them with friends and family.

3. Enjoy the scenery

Although most people would want to get to their destination as soon as possible, it’s important to look at your journey as an experience before the holiday. Always give yourself more time to travel, so you have time to stop over for some random selfies.

4. Car games

Playing games on your journey will keep your journey exciting. If you have kids, it’s a great way to connect with them and get some quality time in. Games can often get everyone’s creative juices flowing and help keep an energetic atmosphere in the car. You could for instance, play a counting game of important landmarks on your trip.  There are so many games you can play along the way that can give you endless fun.

5. Bring out your inner diva

Having a good old sing-along on your journey can be a lot of fun. Before any road trip, you should go through all your songs and make a playlist that everyone could sing along to. This gives you the opportunity to sing along, and practice your vocals.

Car trips can be a lot of fun if you just have the right mindset about it and you prepare yourself well. As you go on your next car trip, make sure you are safe, and you get car insurance.
