Road trips can be the solution to all life&#8217;s worries.<\/p>\n<p>To help you enjoy the ride without regret, here are some tips and tricks that will take your trip to the next level, without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, you could save by limiting your trip to a few days or travelling with a busload of backpackers, but, with the recommendations below, you won\u2019t have to compromise on comfort.<\/p>\n<h2>Plan ahead<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re taking a quick trip to the coast or 4WDriving across the country, being prepared is always important.<\/p>\n<p>Save time and money and double check your route before leaving. Make sure to map out all your rests, breaks, fuel stops and sightseeing destinations ahead of time. Help reduce the chance of getting lost or running out of fuel miles away from your next destination.<\/p>\n<p>Unintended obstacles or driving without a destination can be a major cost to you and your pockets in the long-run.<\/p>\n<p>Plan your trip to include 2 hour breaks to stretch the legs or switch drivers. It is recommended to not drive more than 8-10 hours per day<span id='easy-footnote-1-6820' class='easy-footnote-margin-adjust'><\/span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https:\/\/nimble.com.au\/blog\/ultimate-road-trip-preparation-guide\/#easy-footnote-bottom-1-6820' title=' https:\/\/www.racq.com.au\/cars-and-driving\/cars\/owning-and-maintaining-a-car\/facts-about-fuels\/fuel-economy'><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Take time to check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qld.gov.au\/transport\/safety\/holiday-travel\/stops\/rest\">Driver Revival Areas<\/a> across your journey or locate the nearest local attraction to explore.<\/p>\n<h2>Packing the Essentials<\/h2>\n<p>Make sure to cross check you\u2019ve packed the essentials. Nothing is worse than being hours from the nearest shop and realising that you\u2019ve forgotten to pack your phone charger. Take time out of your day to prep the essentials and ensure you\u2019re ready for all situations.<\/p>\n<p>A basic list should include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetdirect.com.au\/roadside-assistance-australia\/guides\/things-to-put-in-a-car-emergency-kit.html\">Roadside Emergency Kit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.me\/\">Backup map app<\/a> (offline use)<\/li>\n<li>Phone, chargers and power banks<\/li>\n<li>Portable Wifi<\/li>\n<li>CB radio (outback\/remote adventures)<\/li>\n<li>Cash &amp; Cards<\/li>\n<li>Personal Hygiene Products<\/li>\n<li>Rubbish Bags<\/li>\n<li>Food &amp; Water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Essentials differ from individuals and groups, so ensure you personalise your list to suit your needs. Check out online advice like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.australia-backpackersguide.com\/australia-road-trip-preparation\/\">Australian Backpackers Guide<\/a> to create your own packing list!<\/p>\n<h2>Research &amp; Compare Accommodation<\/h2>\n<p>A major disruption to your trip is not choosing the right accommodation for your needs. Make sure to take extra time researching and comparing your options across the whole trip. Your overnight stays can be cost-effective and fit your needs, you just need to know where to look.<\/p>\n<h3>Camping<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to keep costs low and be one with nature, find the best deals and availability, through using <a href=\"http:\/\/australiancampsites.com.au\/\">Australian Campsites<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikicamps.com.au\/\">Wiki Camps App<\/a>. A cool feature for Wiki Camps App is that it can also be used offline. A great option for off road adventure or making sure you always have a backup stay in case of emergencies or to suit last minute travel changes.<\/p>\n<p>Camping is always a simple option although more suited to prepared travellers. Being in touch with nature can be a rewarding experience, but without the right gear it can turn into a memorable one for all the wrong reasons. Camping can turn expensive depending on your need for comfort. Go back to the basics &#8211; there\u2019s no need to worry about 5 star luxury.<\/p>\n<p>A perfect stay option to make your trip memorable and embrace the beauty of road tripping.<\/p>\n<h3>Hostels<\/h3>\n<p>Looking for an inexpensive option? Try out local hostels! Accommodation suited to all travellers, especially if you\u2019re looking to make new memories. The location and price means there\u2019s always an opportunity to meet other travellers and make once in a lifetime memories.<\/p>\n<p>Although not as attractive as other stay options, hostels are easy to book and are perfect for one-off overnight stays.<\/p>\n<h3>Hotels<\/h3>\n<p>Looking for more privacy and a longer stay, look to book a hotel for your group or even just for yourself\u2026 who doesn\u2019t love a good solo trip?<\/p>\n<p>Hotels of course will be available across your trip. It&#8217;s all about finding the one for you. But don\u2019t make the big mistake of not booking in advance. Hotels may not be open for last minute reservations, so set some time out to book your stays.<\/p>\n<p>A great option is to check out hotel comparison sites. They make it easy when it comes to choosing the right hotel for your budget and location. Don\u2019t get stuck paying more than you should for the same room.<\/p>\n<p>Just remember: no matter your accommodation, take time to plan and book. Although stays can be spontaneous, it could pay off to be prepared and book early.<\/p>\n<p>Camp, hotel or hostel? Choose for your needs, but make sure to choose before you hit the road. If you get stuck for cash at any accommodation, check out a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nimble.com.au\/loans\/small-loans\">Nimble Small Loan<\/a> for a quick and easy solution.<\/p>\n<h2>Meal Prep<\/h2>\n<p>A surprisingly expensive part of your trip is food. An important part of preparing is ensuring you choose the best meal plans for your budget.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re planning to cook each night, meal prep beforehand or grab the closest fast food, being prepared is always handy. Before you leave, map out each day and the meal plans. This can even be just making sure you\u2019re not strapped for options at each rest spot.<\/p>\n<h3>Snack Break<\/h3>\n<p>Another tip is don\u2019t forget to pack the snacks! Keep yourself from being hangry with snacking options. No one likes to drive on an empty stomach. Try out some of Summerstar\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/summerstar.com.au\/blog\/17-best-healthy-road-trip-snacks\">Best Healthy Road Trip Snacks<\/a> to keep you enjoying the trip.<\/p>\n<h2>Rack Up Rewards<\/h2>\n<p>Unless you\u2019re planning to take a bike or walk, you won\u2019t eliminate the cost of petrol. This can become a major toll on you and your wallet.<\/p>\n<p>Cost will depend on your vehicle type, weight, distance of trip and so many other factors. A big mistake made is not finding easy ways to save before you leave. When taking a trip look to use fuel rewards points or find deals online for major service stations on your route.<\/p>\n<p>Before you leave, start using rewards cards and rack up points you can use across your trip. Start now, so you can save later.<\/p>\n<p>A few dollars of savings at each stop can add up long term! So don\u2019t overlook racking up rewards to keep you from racking up costs on fuel.<\/p>\n<h2>Check Car\/Vehicle Before Trip<\/h2>\n<p>Avoid any nasty car problems and service your car before you leave. By checking your car before you leave, it could save you and your wallet. Although accidents may occur, taking preventative steps will reduce your risk.<\/p>\n<p>Check out our article \u2018Common Car Problems\u2019 for Nimble&#8217;s list of common car problems before you set off on your journey.

Leave your worries behind and hit the road. If you\u2019re travelling with friends, family, yourself or even your pets, make sure to fill your trip with memorable opportunities. It&#8217;s about the journey, not always the destination, when road tripping.<\/p>\n<p>Take time to relax and enjoy the moment.<\/p>\n<p>If that means stopping to take pictures with the Big Pineapple \ud83c\udf4d or Big Prawn \ud83c\udf64 then take those stops.
