Summer is in full swing and I am sure that you’ll be hitting the road this summer for some fun in the sun with friends and family. And before you say “is this another blog about me servicing my vehicle?” you can rest assured that this week’s blog is not about that. However, if you haven’t serviced your vehicle in a while, it would be a good idea to schedule an appointment before you hit the road this summer! Anyway, this week we are talking about our ultimate road trip packing list, and let me tell you this has nothing to do with whether or not you should pack the shoes or not! This week we are focusing more on the importance of essential accessories and important information you should have with you before hitting the road. So, take a few minutes and check out our ultimate road trip list below and help ensure that your road-trip will be stress-free even if you do find yourself running into an issue. 

Keep your car on the road with these essentials 

  • License and registration 
  • A copy of your car insurance policy and the relevant contact numbers 
  • Your car’s manual 
  • A spare tire 
  • Roadside Emergency Kit 

Little road trip accessories that can make a big difference

  • Paper maps/ map apps (technology doesn’t always work, having a back is always a good plan)
