5 Must Know Tips for Traveling During the Holidays

Traveling over the holidays can be notoriously busy, expensive and stressful, but don’t let a roadside emergency like a flat tire, dead battery or lockout get you down. Whether you’re heading to your native place for the holidays or escaping to a relaxing getaway, you can ease some of your travel headaches and get some peace of mind with a bit of foresight and some Thanksgiving travel planning.

1. Travel late in the day

You might think waking up a little earlier to hit the road or catch a flight would help you in avoiding crowds, but everyone else has the same idea. By traveling at night, you’ll find the roads less clogged and airports much less crowded. Remember, the day before Thanksgiving is the busiest time of the year to travel so be smart while making arrangements!

2. Always be prepared

With a little preparation, there’s no need to stress out over any potential bumps in the road. Allstate’s Good Hands Rescue Service app saves you the trouble of signing up for any additional insurance programs, and thankfully you don’t even need to be a current Allstate client to reap the advantages. Towing, tire changes, lockouts, and jump-starts are all covered, and never paid for unless you require them; with this backup protection, such inconveniences don’t have to be a major setback.

3. Download travel apps

Taking the extra couple of minutes to download the highly beneficial travel planning apps can help assure you’ll be calm, cool, and collected before and during your travels. Our top picks? GateGuru will keep you up-to-date on flight situations and security wait times, while GasBuddy allows you to find the lowest gas prices along your route and maps directions directly to the gas station.

The Good Hands Rescue Service app is also very beneficial, with on-demand roadside assistance at the touch of a button on your cell phone. Automatic GPS locating means no more getting desperate attempts to explain your current location in the middle of nowhere, and there are no membership fees – only a flat rate should you ever need to use it. Allstate is even offering the service for only for the first 1,000 requests for conventional vehicles the day before the Thanksgiving!

With the unnervingly high rates of the holidays, saving in the smallest ways can offset some your year-end expenses.

4. Plan for children

Reuniting the families for the holidays is the most joyous time of the year, but you wish to arrive at your destination with your sanity intact. Prepare for long auto rides with fun travel-oriented games and bring a portable battery charger for electronic gaming devices; on planes and in cars, you won’t have access to power outlets.

Even if you do not have children of your own, given the season it’s likely that you’ll be around families traveling with them at one point or another; on planes or long car rides, ear buds can make the difference between a stressful trip and a and relaxing one.

5. Travel on less popular days

While few schedules might not allow much leeway, usually try to avoid making trips on high-travel days, like the day before and after Christmas, and the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Inflated hotel rates and high numbers of car accidents can all be costly and cause unexpected delays.

If you’re choosing the air route, taking the possibility of severe weather delays into consideration is even more of a reason to depart a day or two earlier than usual. A little extra vacation time never hurt!
