FAQ

What should I pack for a road trip?

Pack your license, registration and insurance details, a phone mount and car chargers, offline maps, water and snacks, a basic emergency kit with jumper cables, a flashlight and first aid, plus clothes for each night and a small bag for the first overnight stop so you don't unpack the whole car.

What should be in a car emergency kit?

A practical car kit includes jumper cables, a flashlight with spare batteries, a first-aid kit, a tire pressure gauge, a reflective warning triangle, water, non-perishable snacks, a blanket, phone charger and a basic tool or multi-tool. Check that the spare tire is inflated and the jack is in the car before a long drive.

Do my ticks save?

Yes. Ticks, your own items and the number of nights save in this browser on this device. Nothing is uploaded. Click Print / Save PDF for a one-page copy.
