Tips for Last Minute Getaways by Car
Last minute getaways by car have become a budget-friendly option again as gas prices begin to drop. Summer is an excellent season for road trips, which are easier than ever with new GPS technology and built-in entertainment systems for the kids. There are also DVDs, CDs and e-books to keep them busy.
You can rent DVDs from Redbox for only $1 per day, which can be picked up anywhere and then returned to a different location. Even with the help of GPS, it's wise to invest in a good map and a set of directions. Online information sites like Road Trip USA can also be very helpful in planning your itinerary. The website Road Trip America offers useful information on where to find cheap hotel rooms and the best tours.
