6 TIPS FOR YOUR NEXT DRIVING VACATION
Road trips can make vacationing possible for people who fi nd the cost of traveling by other means prohibitive.
Pacifi c Coast
Highway or
Route 1 along
the eastern seaboard?
Choose
a destination
that suits your
budget.
• Consider
a travel club
membership.
Membership in
programs like
AAA or AARP
enable members to get discounts on various
travel services, such as car rentals
or hotel stays. Members may be eligible
for percentages off on meals at popular
restaurant chains. Membership in these
programs may help to save money. .
• Plan early. Spring and summer are popular
times to travel, particularly during
weeks when children are off from school.
It’s important to book campgrounds or
other lodging well in advance if you’re
planning to visit popular places like national
parks and other tourist-heavy areas.
• Be realistic about mileage goals. Some
drivers may be on autopilot and fall into
commuting habits of trying to get from
point A to point B in the least amount of
time. Slowing down to take in the scenery
can make a trip more enjoyable. AARP
also says to be mindful of the personal
needs and abilities of drivers. Sharing the
load of driving can make it possible to cover
more miles in less time.
• Hit a few quirky or local attractions.
Th e best way to see the country is to take
in what’s unique along the way. Although a
stop at a popular fast food chain might save
time, it won’t off er the same memories as
visiting a local haunt or roadside attraction,
such as Carhenge in Alliance, Nebraska.

• What’s the destination? Some people
fi nd that road trips are fun even without
a predetermined destination in mind. A
handful of smaller stops can make for a
fun, spontaneous trip. Maybe you want to
drive a classic roadway like Route 66? Or

Modern professionals are working
more and taking fewer days
off each year. Allina Healthcare
estimates that more than 765 million vacation
days are unused by Americans each
year. One of the reasons people oft en give
for not vacationing is that travel costs too
much. A 2024 summer travel report from
Deloitte Insights found that aft er two years
of strong gains in the travel sector, Americans
were planning fewer trips in 2024
than a year prior, with travelers indicating
the high cost of travel as their reasons for
staying home.
A driving vacation, otherwise known as a
road trip, can reduce the cost of travel and
may amplify the fun. Th ese tips can make
for a safe, enjoyable and memorable trip.
• Get a vehicle checkup. If you’ll be relying
on your personal vehicle, then it is best to
ensure that everything is in good working
order. Th e National Highway Traffi c Safety
