The open road is calling all travelers this summer! Whether you’re tripping to new places in your hometown or venturing across the country, resqme has you covered with ten must-have items for maximum fun and safety on the roads.
1. GPS Navigation System – Exploring new places often means venturing onto unfamiliar roads, and it’s easy to miss an exit or take a wrong turn. Having a GPS is a must, and it’s also smart to keep a physical map in case your device’s battery runs out. You can easily use an old-school GPS system, however most phones have a maps app to assist you with directions.
2. Sunglasses –Maximize comfort while driving by bringing sunglasses! Having a pair within reach ensures you are protecting your eyes from UV rays, reducing glare, preventing eye strain, and improving comfort while driving.
3. First Aid Kit – It’s wise to be prepared for minor mishaps with a basic kit that includes bandages, alcohol swabs, and pain relievers.
4. Electronics – Keep everyone entertained between destinations. Bring iPads or other electronics for the kids, and curate a perfect road trip playlist so everyone can enjoy the ride.
5. Snacks – Keep everyone happy and healthy with road trip snacks! Throw some fruit and granola bars in your car to keep your energy up while you drive.
6. Chargers—While road trips are a great way to unplug, the electronics you bring must stay charged. Remember to bring chargers to keep your devices alive and running.
7. Hand Sanitizer –Ensure you maintain hygiene and wash your hands frequently, especially after rest stops.
8. Sunscreen—Keep your skin protected from harmful UV rays during long drives and outdoor stops by keeping sunscreen nearby!
