We reckon there’s nothing better than a good old kiwi road trip so we've put together a few tips for your trip this summer.
1. Have a plan
Get together with your travelling companions and work out a plan of action. Decide what type of holiday you are after, whether it’s a sporting holiday, relaxing holiday or packed full of adventure! It’s always good to plan and do your homework, read reviews, ask friends and go to your local I-Site as you don’t want to miss out on any hidden gems! If you still need some inspiration for your holiday take a look at these great itineraries.
2. Get the motor running
Always check your vehicle before leaving for your trip. Ensure that it has an up to date warrant of fitness and registration plus don’t forget to check the water, oil and tyres!
3. Counting Down
Tell your friends or family your travel plans and even give them a copy of your itinerary so they know where to find you if necessary.
4. Hitting the Road
Travelling in the holiday periods can be more risky because of increased traffic volumes, congestion, tiredness and people driving in unfamiliar environments. Being courteous, remembering to share the road with others and scheduling frequent breaks can help you keep your cool when driving during these high-pressure periods.
5. And Most of all....
Take care out there and have a fantastic time!
