- 1). Check with your vehicle's manufacturer regarding what aspects of your car might need tuning or upkeep. Pay special attention to the condition of your tires, brakes, and battery. For winter travel also check your antifreeze, defroster and heater.
- 2). Acquire detailed, up-to-date maps of your destination as well as all points in your journey. Updates on road conditions are available via radio and cell phone. Road signs will also advise you regarding road conditions and local radio stations.
- 3). Pack your clothes and accessories with the time of year in mind. Even if you are travelling in the summer, dressing in layers for comfort and convenience is essential to staying comfortable during a road trip. Temperatures inside and outside of your car will vary.
