Save On Your Summer Road Trip BY NATHANIEL SILLIN SpecialSectionS@antonmediagroup.com
Are you packing up your car and hitting the road this summer? You’re not alone. According to a survey conducted by AAA, road trips are the most popular type of vacation for families in the U.S. in 2017. In fact, 10 percent more families are expected to take road trips this year than last. From driving to the tip of Cape Cod,
to seeing the Great Lakes all the way to a drive through the Yosemite Valley, there are limitless ways to explore on the road. Whether you’re visiting family or taking an epic adventure, a road trip can be a great way to make travel about the journey rather than the destination. Before you hit the road, make sure your car can handle the trip. Before you pack up your car, it’s a good idea to take
your car to a mechanic and ensure that it’s ready for the drive. Having your car inspected and serviced by a mechanic before a road trip can be a worthwhile investment that could both save you money and prevent an untimely breakdown. Looking into a rental car is an alternative you may want to consider if you’re hoping to avoid wear and tear that might depreciate your car’s value.

Summer is here and so is the scorching heat, high humidity, heavy rain and stop-and-go traffic. Summer can take a toll on your vehicle and it is important to know your limits. Allstate suggests taking a few preventative measures to keep your car rollin’ down the road instead of being stranded beside it. “Safety should be a priority when in the car,” said Jaclyn Darrohn, Allstate spokesperson for New York. “It’s essential for people to know how important it is to prepare your car for the summer.”
Keep Your Car ‘Cool’ This Summer
Here are five tips to keep your car cool this summer:
1
Check Your Cooling System
One of the greatest causes of summer breakdowns is overheating. Overheating can be serious and may result in permanent engine damage. Be sure to check the coolant level. If low, add antifreeze as necessary.
Summer’s heat and humidity will worsen the condition of deteriorating belts and hoses. Hose or belt failure can result in a breakdown. Inspect belts and hoses for excessive cracks, frays, leakage or swelling.
3
Be sure to check your gas cap. This is a critical component of your vehicle’s emission control system. If it is not airtight, it could lead to triggering your vehicle’s “check engine” or “emission service” light on your dashboard.
4
Tires
If you used winter tires, now is the time to change to your summer tires. Have your tires rotated at 5,000 mile intervals or as recommended in your owner’s manual. Summer heat also causes the air in your tires to expand. Occasionally check your tire pressure while the tires are cold and
adjust accordingly. Be sure to check spare tires as well.
5
Brakes
Hot weather can increase the temperature of your braking system, causing brake pads to wear more quickly. If brake pads wear through, it can lead to sever rotor damage. —Submitted by Allstate

To make this cost more manageable, you can take advantage of apps that help you find the best gas prices in your area. In certain cases, you may also want to consider renting a more fuel-efficient car. You can save even more by mapping your trip ahead of time to avoid road tollways and construction that might slow you down. Keep kids entertained to avoid unnecessary stops. Kids tend to get antsy in the back seat, which can lead to more frequent stops and a few impulse buys if you’re not prepared. Packing snacks and meals ahead of time can help you avoid making extra purchases at the gas station, and will often be cheaper. Also have a plan for keeping your kids entertained. Let them choose a few
activities ahead of time, like preparing a road trip playlist or making a game like road trip bingo. If you have a tablet or phone, downloading games, podcasts or movies can be another option. One other way to save on your road trip is to ensure that your home is protected while you’re gone. If you can, ask a neighbor, friend or family member to keep an eye on your house. If you can’t find someone to help, you can call U.S. Postal Service to hold your mail while you’re away. Double-check that you’ve locked all doors and windows, including the garage, and that you’ve

set your alarms and put your lights on a timer. Bottom line: Road trips can be an adventurous and inexpensive way to see the country, but costs can add up if you’re underprepared. Planning stops and packing to anticipate needs could help you enjoy the ride rather than worry about the expenses.
