The excitement of embarking on a road trip can be intoxicating, but the presence of family members can turn it into a challenging experience. To ensure a smooth journey, careful planning is essential to avoid the dreaded question, “Are we there yet?” DashPass by DoorDash offers a solution to make the trip more enjoyable and cost-effective.
DashPass is an affordable way to order essentials for the road trip, with an average savings of $5 per eligible order and year-round access to $0 delivery fees on eligible orders, reduced service fees, exclusive promotions, and savings at over 150,000 stores. The Summer of DashPass savings event offers five weeks of members-only offers from June 20 to July 24, with a chance to win prizes like free gas and groceries for an entire year.
To make the road trip more comfortable, DashPass can help with hunger management by ordering pre-packed snack boxes or healthy munchies. Stock up on snacks like sliced apples, grapes, orange segments, juice boxes, and sippy cups to keep everyone satisfied. Wipes are essential for cleaning sticky fingers and minor mishaps.
To keep the kids entertained, consider coloring and sticker books, magnetic puzzles and blocks, activity books, word games, portable game consoles, and instant cameras. Charge all the devices and download shows and games ahead of schedule for those no-service moments. Give each child their own set of headphones to enjoy the music without disturbing others.
To keep everyone cozy, provide each older kiddo with their own travel pillow and blanket, and keep the air on the cooler side to prevent fights over the thermostat. Use sunshades on side windows to block out heat and sun. If you have a pet along for the ride, order their travel essentials from PetSmart to save on orders.
To keep the car organized, consider hanging shoe organizers on the backs of the front seats and using rubber floor mats that are easily wipeable and spill- and crumb-proof. A car-specific trash bin attached to the console is also useful. For extreme cleaners, take along a portable vac that plugs into your car’s power outlet to suck up gunk during pit stops.
