Are you ready for the travel season ahead? According to AAA, more than 98 million people drove more than 50 miles from home during last year’s holiday season. With lower gas prices, we can expect that number to increase this year. Be prepared with this pre-trip checklist!
Check your car’s operations before setting off. Areas to check:
Don’t hesitate to take your car to your local auto repair center for a pre-trip inspection including an oil change and tire rotation.
Be sure you have everything you need in case of an emergency. Some things you don’t want to forget:
Keeping an eye on the weather allows you to find the best time and day to leave. Pay attention to any impending rain, snow, or fog which could delay travel and cause additional traffic.
If you notice the weather looks bad, it’s a good idea to plan an alternate route. It may take you a little longer than you would like, but it could save you from being stuck in endless amounts of traffic.
Where ever you’re headed, have a safe any happy holiday season!
