This summer, putting your family on a plane feels a little fraught. With coronavirus numbers continuing to climb, sitting in a small space with hundreds of strangers for hours doesn’t feel like a recipe for relaxation.
A road trip, on the other hand, has a lot of advantages: You have the freedom to plan a route that avoids virus hot spots, you can keep your crowd contact to a minimum, and you’re outside—one of the safest places to be, and a great way to reconnect with nature and each other. Plus, major bonus: Taking advantage of all our country has to offer al fresco means, most likely, less cash out of your wallet.
That’s certainly my family’s perspective, anyway, as we plan a 10-hour drive to stay in a state park near my mother, whom we haven’t seen in months. We’ll do some hiking and biking, and a lot of catching up. Friends of mine are taking a similar road trip cross country so their toddler can reconnect with his grandparents. With planning and safety precautions, a road trip can help you get away and see some of the country—and it doesn’t have to stress your budget.
Here are some great ways to save on your next road trip and be sure it’s a success:
