If you live in the Englewood, NJ area, you’re well aware that there are some amazing cities not far from home that make excellent destinations for road trips. Whether you head to New York City for the day or drive up the East Coast to make your way through several northeastern states, you’ll want to ensure that everyone is comfortable on the road. To help you do so, we’ve put together a few ways to experience the best road trip possible!
Pack Enough Snacks
For some reason, traveling makes you hungrier than normal, even though you’re sitting for most of the day. And we’re not just talking about the kids; adults also get those snack cravings while on the road. We recommend grabbing snacks that are healthier and well-rounded, so you continue feeling good and ready for your adventures. Additionally, when you plan and pack your snacks before leaving, you can be sure to have your favorites and not risk visiting stores along the way that don’t carry what you’re craving. Bringing your own snacks will also help you save money and time!
Bring Blankets
If you are planning a long trip, someone will fall asleep in the car at some point, and when they do, they will be more comfortable if they have something to lean on. A pillow will take up far too much space, but a blanket can be rolled into a more compact size and unfolded as needed. Blankets can help you feel more comfortable on the road, and can be folded to help accommodate awkward angles, or to create a cushion between your head and the window.
Plan for Entertainment Options
Whether you invest in multiple audiobooks, podcasts, or bring tablets so that everyone has something to do, you will want to make sure that you have enough entertainment for everyone in the car. One of the benefits of a luxury vehicle is that it will typically have USB ports and even charging stations so that everyone can maintain a full battery on the road, no matter how long you travel.
The number one necessity for a trip where you spend any length of time on the road is the right vehicle with features and technology to ensure you will have the safest and most comfortable adventure possible. Lexus’s entire model lineup has several cars and SUVs perfect for road trips. Browse our available inventory here at DARCARS Lexus of Englewood today, and don’t forget to schedule your test drive!
