Adventure travel

The weather is heating up, school is out and that means it’s time to hit the open road on a memorable summer road trip! Road trips can be a fun, inexpensive, and even educational way to enjoy and explore new places, or return to favorite spots.
Wherever your road trip takes you, the key to having a great experience starts with proper preparation; that means taking care of the driver, passengers and your ride.
Here are some easy tips to help you plan a road trip and make your summer adventure one to remember:

• Safety first: The driver focuses on driving. If the driver needs to check the phone, take a break, have a snack, or anything else, wait for a rest stop, or pull over to the side of the road.
• Check your ride: A complete car check before a road trip should include checking the fluid levels, wiper blades, lights (including brights) and tires.
• Optimize your engine. After only a short period of time, you might see changes in your vehicle’s performance and this shouldn’t be ignored.
