Where are you taking your Fiat this summer? Could you be headed to the Fiat Freakout, perhaps? Or maybe out to the wild, wild west to see the desert night sky with the top down in your Fiat 500c? Who knows where the long summer days will take you? Wherever you’re heading off to, don’t step on the gas til you read our best tips for planning a road trip!

Check that tread!

First things first, you’d be remiss not to make sure your car is in good working order for the trip. That means ensuring your tires are in tip-top shape, your fluids are topped off, and you’re well in the clear for your next oil change due date. Schedule a service appointment with us if you’d like a professional once-over, and don’t forget to check out our coupon page to see what kind of savings we can send your way!

Now that the most practical concerns are out of the way, let’s move on to the fun stuff! For example, what do you pack? If you’ve got a Fiat 500L in your life, you can fit a surprising amount of gear! We’ll leave the basics like clothing and toiletries up to you, but here are some items you might not be as inclined to remember:

First aid and emergency kits –  Bandages, pain relievers, flashlights, blankets… make sure you’re stocked with everything you’d need in case something goes wrong with you or your car. Of course in all likelihood it won’t, but better safe than sorry!

Ready, set, road trip!

Snacks! What kind of road trip would it be without crunchy, salty, sweet, and tangy treats to eat on the open road? Even if you’re normally a no-food-in-the-car sort of person, such rules were made to be broken for occasions like this! Why not throw a little cooler in the back for cold beverages  as well? You can restock your ice when you stop for fuel!
Speaking of fuel, it’s a good idea to have a dedicated fuel budget planned out ahead of time. Be sure to make it flexible in case some unexpected detour presents itself that just cannot be passed up!
Well, we sure hope that gets you started, and that you have an excellent time on your journey!
