Helpful Travel Hacks

Who is ready to soak up some Arkansas sun and head out with the family to your favorite summer spot? To make it a fun and relaxing trip for everyone, it’s best to be prepared for anything. Part of having a great road trip is being prepared to make it stress-free. McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Bentonville would like to suggest some helpful hacks for traveling this summer so you can get the most out of your vacation with the family. Make memories and have safe travels!

HELPFUL SMARTPHONE APPS: In this day and time, your smartphone is a vital tool not only for your day to day routine but especially for travel. You will have access to some road trip-friendly apps. The helpful app, SitOrSquat, assists you in finding clean public restrooms while on the road. There is GasBuddy, the app that helps travelers find places to fill up on gas at the cheapest price. 

DIY TRASH CONTAINER: There’s no better way than to harsh people’s road trip mellow than a cluttered up vehicle, with a collection of used snack wrappers and empty beverage cans creating the feeling that you are riding in a dumpster. 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. 

SNACK CONTAINERS: On a road trip, accidents happen, especially if you’re traveling with children. A great way to keep your snacks from ending up on the floorboard is recycling 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 they’re easy to manage while on the road. 

DIY HELP SACK: It’s always a good idea to be prepared in case you or a traveling companion gets car sick. One way to keep little nausea from turning into a big mess: create a ready-to-go sickness kit out of a plastic storage bag containing the essentials. Inside, pack a few air-sickness bags borrowed from your next airline trip or 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. 

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