Why A Family Road Trip Is A Great Holiday Idea

  • September 18, 2017
  • admin

Travelling abroad with your family can be an expensive and stressful ordeal. Despite the guaranteed sun and sandy beaches, family road trips are a great resort-holiday alternative. Make happy memories with your family and get the opportunity to explore places during your journey the next time your travel together. If you want to explore the wonders of the US, make sure you complete the esta registration form before you go. Find out why a family road trip is a great holiday idea below.

Design your own adventure

No matter if you decide to drive 50 miles or 1,000 miles on a family road trip you’re in control of how far and where you travel. On the way get to see nature at its finest and visit the places you might otherwise not get the opportunity to see. Road trips are a great alternative to going abroad since you have the freedom to do whatever you please.

The best thing about road trips is that no day is the same. Each day is riddled with new landscapes, towns and attractions to explore.

Leave the schedule behind

Arriving at the airport on time to catch your flight is the most stressful aspect to travelling as a family. Not only do you need to pack, feed and dress for you little ones, but also yourself. Road trips are great since you can go at your own pace and start your journey when you’re ready, not when you have to be.

Save money

Travelling with children can make you family holiday flight expenses at least increase by half. No matter if you’re a family of 3, 4 or 5, buying flights for your family is by no means cheap. Many families miss out on valuable time spent together due to the cost. Family road trips are undoubtedly cheaper than the all-inclusive resort. Using your own vehicle to travel across the country or to another saves the cost of renting a vehicle and having to take out auto insurance. Speaking of auto insurance, before you hit the road explore cheap car insurance quotes to ensure you have full coverage at affordable rates. It also gives families the freedom to stay in hotels outside of the city. Cities tend to attract tourists and when tourists are attracted, the prices rise. From food to accommodation, staying just outside of the city will save you a little extra cash on your trip!

Travel more

Since you’re saving money, you may be able to travel more often. Road trips don’t require adventures that take weeks, if not months to complete, sometimes as much as a weekend getaway could be just what you and your family need.

Take what you want, not what you have to

When travelling by car you can literally take what you want with you. You no longer have to decide between what toys and teddies to take along with you. When packing to fly, you have to decide what is essential to take with you and what is OK to be left behind. When you’re in control of your journey, you can bring those items you might need “just in case” without the need to worry about baggage allowances.
