Considering the surging gas prices in recent months, road trips have become quite an expensive affair. So now, you can either sit at home and wait for prices to drop or find some ways to offset the gas cost and make the road trip a budget-friendly experience. If you are choosing the latter, here are some tips on how to do it.

Limit Unnecessary Gas Consumption

Saving gas equals saving money, and there are a few ways you can do that while driving. For example, cars have the most efficient gas consumption at 40 mph and 55 mph, so try to be in this range when driving. Also, make sure to turn off your car if you are making any stop that will take more than a minute.

Do Your Research on Gas Prices

Before setting off, research the gas prices along your route. This will help you identify the most affordable locations and get most of the fuel there.

Bring Your Own Food

You will be surprised how much money you can save if you avoid buying snacks and eating during the road trip. Instead of hitting gas stations and restaurants along the route, prepare food and snacks at home and put them in a cooler so they can last longer. As an added bonus, you will minimize unnecessary stops.

Do Your Research On Accommodation

When booking accommodation, do your research by comparing different options at the same location to get a better sense of the price and find the most affordable one. Also, make sure to book accommodation as early as possible. You will get the best prices and avoid surprises.

Planning a Road Trip?

You have it all planned out. You’ll drive nine hours through the night, arrive at your destination bright and early, and have all that extra time to spend on your vacation. If you’re planning a road trip, this actually isn’t such a good idea. There are many reasons that you certainly want to avoid driving at night, and here’s what they are.

Don’t Risk Falling Asleep

You might be the king or queen of coffee in your regular life, but the rules change when you’re on the road. After hours of driving deep into the night, you might find yourself drifting and getting dizzy. Even if you think you’ll be able to avoid all that, it’s really not worth the risk. Protecting your life is the number one priority, not saving a few measly hours on your trip.

Enjoy the View

If you drive in the daytime instead of during the night, you’ll get to enjoy the view. Instead of treating your drive like it’s a burden, now it’ll be another part of your adventure, where you see all kinds of amazing feats of nature along the way.

The Company

If you’re driving at night with a friend, chances are the person who isn’t driving will be passed out in the passenger seat. This makes your drive a lot lonelier and less fun. But if you drive during the day, the pair of you now get to enjoy the perks of each other’s company!
