What you need to know about traveling by car: the secrets of a comfortable vacation

If you have planned a car trip and decided to rent a car for a month , you will have to prepare properly. In this article, we will talk about the secrets of a comfortable vacation on wheels.

Untraveled paths . Do not rush to add up the "traditional" route and include all the sights from the guidebook in the list of must-sees. Many of them will not be as interesting as you expected. Read about the country you are planning to visit: its natural beauties, historical monuments and places of interest. Perhaps your "non-traditional" route will be much more interesting than the one recommended by the guides.

Equipment . Take a refrigerator container and a thermos with you in case there are no cafes nearby or you ... get lost. Prepare for this prospect should be in advance. Take a tent and a sleeping bag, as well as a means of finding the road - a GPS navigator. Experienced travelers are also advised to put an offline map in their bag in case the Internet suddenly disappears and the phone runs out of power.

Satellites . Friends are known in trouble and travel. If you have fun with your friends, this does not mean that you will be comfortable with them in the same car. What is more important for companions - a good rest or going to a disco? Where are they going to spend the night - in roadside hotels or in the open? Discuss in advance any questions you may have on your trip.

Food . If you want to save on food, mark on the map all the supermarkets that will be close to your route. Maybe you are planning to get acquainted with the national cuisine? Then do not forget to consult with the locals - they will tell you where the best food is.

Accommodation . Roadside motels, hotels, camping - choose the option to your taste. Also stay overnight with locals. Renting a car for a month allows you to arrange an overnight stay in your own vehicle. If you're worried about your comfort, pop into a major gas station before bed to use the showers and toilets.

Tickets . Buy tickets in advance or a travel card that guarantees free admission to most galleries, museums and other cultural venues.

Check local traffic rules . Each country has its own specific driving rules. And it's not just about driving on the left. For example, in some countries, small animals often come out on the road, and in some Asian cities, locals hardly follow the rules of the road at all.

Auto . If you are planning a trip with a large company or with children, rent a car for a month. Rent a spacious car with a large trunk or a minibus. But an SUV is worth renting for traveling on rural roads and trails laid through the wilderness. Be careful - a four-wheel drive car is not easy to drive, so if you do not have much driving experience, then you should not rent such a model.

Rules . Do you know what to do in case of a traffic accident? Do you know how to protect yourself and your vehicle if the weather suddenly changes dramatically? Did you mark cafes, hospitals and gas stations along the way? Have you decided where you can stay for the night? Be sure to study the route and write down the necessary information on a piece of paper. If the network suddenly disappears, you may be left without the information you need and without the means to find it.

Google map . Enter points A and point B and calculate an approximate route. It is worth considering that there is a mileage limit, so you will not be able to drive a rental car more than 300 km per day (this indicator is the most common, but may vary depending on the conditions of a particular company).
