Get your car serviced
This is one of the most basic road trip tips. I’m sure we’ve all done it at least once.
Most accidents happen on road trips when the car is not in good condition. Therefore, it’s best to have your car inspected, properly maintained and fueled at least a day before the trip to avoid it breaking down during the trip.
If you are renting a car, take it for a test drive to check the condition of the car. By test driving it yourself, you can know if the car can withstand a long journey.
