The holiday travel season is not that far away. If you plan to pack up your Pence Nissan and head to Grandma's for Thanksgiving, there are some things you will likely forget to bring with you in the rush to get out of Richmond.
Here are some things you may not always think to take with you on the road:
Medications
If you are not dependent on medications to function, it may not be something you think about packing in your travel bag. Even if you don't need prescription medications, a long road trip may necessitate some over the counter medications such as heartburn medicines, aspirin, motion sickness pills, or cold medications if necessary.
Legal Information/Documents
While you might keep your driver's license in your wallet, double-check you have all the other documents you need for a trip. Insurance cards, AAA membership information, list of doctor numbers, roadside assistance contact information, car registration, and even some extra cash can be placed in an envelope and locked in the glove compartment. If you get pulled over or have an emergency, all of the information is within arms reach. The extra cash and even a credit card stored in the vehicle will come in handy if you should lose your wallet during your travels.
Clothing Changes
Even if you are not traveling with little ones, illness or accidents can necessitate a change of clothing during your trip. Instead of having to unpack the car to find a fresh shirt, pack a few articles of clothing you can use for a quick change at a rest stop in a small bag easily accessible.
Clean Up Tools
Long drives might mean snacks in the car which can spill, resulting in a tough stain on the interior of your Pence Nissan. Bring upholstery cleaner, paper towels, a few clean rags, window cleaner, and some wet towlettes. Be sure to have some plastic grocery bags to catch trash or to be used in the event someone gets car sick.
A Nissan from Richmond's Pence dealership is a great place to find a road-worthy vehicle for your trip. If you have the travel items ready to go but not a reliable vehicle for traveling with the family, come see our inventory of Virginia Nissans today.
