Spring road trip tips

’Tis the season to pack a few supplies, get behind the wheel and embark on a road trip adventure.

The convenience of setting one’s own pace, charting one’s own course, choosing one’s destination and many other benefits to road-tripping push taking a trip by vehicle ahead of other modes of travel.

Setting one’s sites on some spring fun? Follow these guidelines:

• Get maps and itineraries ahead of time.

• Auto club memberships often have lodging discounts as a perk, so investigate getting on board.

• Have the car inspected and do any preventative maintenance prior to departing on the trip.

• Check cell phone service areas, because roaming fees add up fast.

• Stock an emergency road kit.

• Pack drinks and snacks to minimize the number of stops along the way and save money.

• Remember to have fun.
