The first part of every day trip is getting to your destination, and the type of transportation that you’re using can make all the difference. You can choose between several different options, and the type of trip and budget you have in mind will help you determine which one is best.
Car Ride
Day trip destinations are usually located about two hours from the place of departure, and most people embark on them by car. This is a great option for group trips because you can share the expenses with your friends and family, but it can be a little pricy if you’re going solo.
Public Transportation
Public transportation doesn’t offer the same kind of flexibility and freedom you would have when riding your own car, but it comes in handy when it comes to solo trips. Check the prices for trains and buses going to your destination and see if they would cost you less than what gas would.
Group Tours
If you don’t want to embark on a trip by yourself and going by car is not an option because you’re in a foreign country, guided tours are a good idea. They’ll usually cost you less than car rentals, and you’ll get to meet some fellow travelers along the way.
