HELPFUL HOLIDAY TRAVEL HACKS

For a day trip or going for an extended visit with family during Thanksgiving, it’s best to be prepared for anything. Especially now, it is imperative to have a great road trip plan, to help you and the family travel with confidence in these confusing times. McLarty Daniel Buick GMC in Bentonville would like to suggest some helpful hacks to make holiday travel more convenient and easy, so you can get the most out of your time with the family. Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels!

SNACKS TO GO: You can’t have a road trip without snacks, but spills can happen, especially if you’re traveling with the kiddos. To keep everyone’s snacks from ending up on the floorboard, recycle flip-top coffee creamer containers into snack containers. They are easy to fill up with the kids’ favorite snack, feature…

a snap lid that closes tight to prevent spills, and are easy to manage while on the road. 

CLEAN VEHICLE, FUN TRIP: There’s no better way to trash up a road trip than riding in a cluttered vehicle filled with used snack wrappers and empty beverage cans. Here is a quick solution: transform an inexpensive plastic cereal container into a clever trash collector. Just insert a small trash can liner in the cereal container, and this hack will keep your ride tidy while you’re on the road. 

PREPARED AND READY: For the weak stomachs out there, it’s always a good idea to be prepared in case one of your traveling companions gets car sick. Little nausea can turn into a big mess! Keep your road-trip barf free by creating a ready-to-go motion sickness kit out of a plastic storage bag containing the essentials. Inside, pack a few air-sickness bags (doubled brown paper bags), cleaning wipes, mints or hard candies to help fight off nausea, and over-the-counter medicines to help with motion sickness. 

SMARTPHONE APPS: Your smartphone is the ultimate travel tool to have ready at all times, and helps make your next trip easier and safer in dozens of ways. The Google Play and Apple Stores are awash in trip-friendly apps. For example, the helpful app, SitOrSquat, assists you in finding clean public restrooms while on the road. Then there’s GasBuddy, the app that helps travelers find places to fill up on gas at the cheapest price 

We hope these travel hacks are helpful when out on the open road enjoying quality family fun.
