Tips for a family roadtrip DC

Provided By:

(NC)-Summer road trips are where memories are made. It could be a couple's first romantic get-away, or the chaotic misadventures of a family piling into a packed car and ready to spend hours driving each other crazy.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car has some helpful tips on ways to maximize fun, minimize costs and help create summer road trip memories that will last a lifetime.

• Why not rent? Renting a car instead of using your own can be a smart choice. Rental cars are usually less than two years old and more fuel-efficient than older cars; making for a safe and cost-effective journey.

• Next stop Jenniferville. Let your child choose and name a destination on your route. Let them own part of their vacation.

• Kids sleep better with full stomachs. Packing a cooler with healthier snacks means less stopping and better eating. Happy kids mean happy parents.

• Be flexible. Remember it's a vacation - if a road is closed, take an alternate route. If you see something interesting, stop and get a closer look.

Try to remember that sometimes the fun is in the journey itself, not just the destination. You can reserve a rental car for your driving vacation online at www.enterprise.com.
