Offering arguably the most fun and flexible way to travel, a road trip may just be the best holiday you ever take.

That is if you plan it right!

If you are new to road trips or you have taken a road trip before and it was a bit of a disaster, then the below blog is just what you need.

Read on to discover all our top tips for planning a memorable road trip – with options for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.

Rent a motorhome

When it comes to deciding upon your preferred mode of transport, many people choose to use their own car. However, this is one of the biggest mistakes you can make, especially if you are planning to cover a long distance.

The beauty of looking for motorhomes for hire is that you don’t have to worry about accommodation. No researching hotels or Airbnb.

Plus, just imagine going to sleep and then waking up right by the sea or in a dense forest!

Make an epic playlist

One of the elements that people sometimes struggle with when it comes to taking a road trip is the long hours spent on the road.

Fortunately, there is one surefire way to make this as enjoyable as possible, and that is by creating an epic playlist.

You can search road trip playlists online to discover all the best songs for driving to, or you can simply download all of your and your fellow passengers’ favourite songs.

Alternatively, if you are travelling with young children, you may want to download a few story books for them to listen to in order to alleviate any periods of boredom.

Think carefully about where you want to go

Although it may seem tempting to just hit the open road and see where the day takes you, this is one of the most common road trip mistakes.

Instead, it is vital that you take the time to research all the places you want to go.
If you don’t already have a selection of destinations in mind, you can find inspiration in many places such as:

• Travel blogs
• Instagram
• Pinterest
• Guidebooks
• Recommendations from family and friends

Find the best campgrounds

If you do choose to rent a motorhome or campervan as mentioned above, you will be happy to hear that the UK boasts some of the best campgrounds in the world.

From National Parks to private camping grounds, you can park up and enjoy a whole host of amazing facilities. Plus, you can meet fellow members of the campervan community which can be great fun for adults and children alike.

However, don’t forget that if you rent a self-contained campervan, you have even more parking options, including wild camping, which is ideal for travellers that really want to go off the grid and connect with nature.

And there you have it – our top tips for planning the most memorable road trip ever!
