National Road Trip Day Essentials: Must-Have Items for Your Next Adventure
Did you know National Road Trip Day kicks off the Friday before Memorial Day? It’s basically the official green light to grab snacks, queue up the playlist, and get outta town for a bit. Whether you're headed to the lake, the mountains, or just hitting the road with no plan at all, a little prep goes a long way — especially if your car is road-trip ready and you’ve thought about essentials like extended car warranty coverage to protect against unexpected breakdowns.
Here are the must-haves that’ll help you roll into your adventure fully stocked and stress-free.
