Vroomin' Good TimesVroom Vroom Vroom would like to thank everyone for their feedback over the Christmas holidays. We value everyone's ideas, suggestions and tips. Remember, if you have any feedback or suggestions please send us your thoughts!We would like to thank Rachel, our newest staff member, for this months featured article, 'Road Trip Survival Guide'. Road Trip Survival GuideJust thinking about a road trip for me is exciting. The thought of exploring a different area, the open road and the strange and exotic roadside cuisine to try is irresistible. For others it brings back horrible memories of childhood trips filled with mean siblings, travel sickness and no air conditioning. While a select few will reflect back to the seventies and the hazy memories of that trip in the 'combie' to the beach that summer. The road trip has been sung about, written about, and made into iconic movies; it is a rite of passage, an escape, or a way of life.Survival Tips & ItemsToilet Paper - This should be obvious. A roll in the glove box is highly recommended.Contact Phone Numbers - All our suppliers have roadside assistance numbers to assist their broken down passengers & vehicles. Make sure you have the number at hand. Lollies - These are multi purpose either used as a reward or as a boredom buster. Music - Most hire cars today have a CD Player so a CD of your fav driving songs is ideal and a road trip sing along is heaps of fun. Sun Screen - This is essential when touring Australia by car. Car travel is a fantastic way to get burnt in summer. Hands, Arms, Faces, and the tops of the knees are the areas generally affected, so a simple application every few hours will ensure that the rest of the trip is comfortable. Camera - Australian tradition dictates that all people who road trip around this country must stop and have a photo taken with a "BIG Thing". These "BIG Things" are located on most major hi-ways or close by (& very well marked out with traffic signs). See the Big Prawn in Ballina, The Giant Merino in Goulburn, The Big Cherries in Young or The Big Mango in Bowen and the list goes on... GPS unit - It just makes sense to hire one of these with your car, or bring your own, as it will make navigating your way around a strange country or town a breeze. Games - The road trip game has been around as long as the road trip. Games like Eye Spy have now evolved. The Nintendo DS is a fantastic personal gaming device with massive range of games for all ages and skill sets. Water - Either for car or vehicle it's just a smart thing to have on a long trip. "Shot Gun" Rules - The Front passengers seat is the most wanted seat in the car. Shot Gun needs to be different every day and you can not reserve this seat the whole trip. DO NOT PICK UP HITCH HIKERS! Should I even explain why or leave it to Hollywood... Texas Chainsaw Massacre, There's Something About Mary, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, and The Hitch Hiker. Finally don’t forget the most important thing on a Road Trip is to STOP, REVIVE, SURVIVE and you never know that little stop may introduce you to your next amazing experience and keep you safe for your next ROAD TRIP. Handy HintWhen you pick up your car hire if you wish to share the driving with your friend or spouse, you must let the car hire staff know as your additional driver will need to sign the rental agreement.Write to us about your travelsBeen on a road trip lately??
