How to Pack the Perfect Road Trip Kit in Hinton, AB

Successful and memorable road trips require careful planning, whether you’re traveling solo or with the family. Drivers based in our home of Hinton, Edson, Jasper, AB, or beyond can learn how to prepare their road trip supplies below and contact Big Rock Dodge for more details or an appointment with our Service Centre.

Your Road Trip Kit Essentials

Firstly, it helps to hit the road with a navigation aid, whether an old-fashioned map, your smartphone’s GPS system, or your car’s embedded navigation system, and remember to plan your itinerary before hitting the road for stress-free travels. If you’re on any prescription medication or need any anti-allergens during the summer, remember to keep them handy throughout your trip, especially if the kids might need them. Portable chargers will also come in handy if you’re using your phone for navigation, and don’t forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and any long-sleeved shirts you might need for protection from the sun. We also suggest packing some traveling toiletries, laundry bags, and wet wipes to help you freshen up during any pit stops. Lastly, prepare for any emergencies by assembling a roadside kit. This should include a first-aid kit, jumper cables, emergency flares, a toolkit, spare tire, a tire pressure gauge, a flashlight and batteries, anti-freeze, an umbrella, and snacks and water in case you’re stranded in a remote area, as these supplies will help you react quickly to all kinds of emergencies.
