Spring Break Travel Tips

Spring is officially here which means it is spring break season! This is the time when families and young adults get to relax and refresh, usually with a vacation. If you have plans to go on a spring break trip, here are some tips to make the trip go smoothly for everyone involved!

Book a Van Driving Service

Depending on where your group is going, it may be the right idea for you all to have a dedicated van driving you! You can enjoy the travel part of the journey far more than you could on a plane, especially with TourVanGo’s luxury amenities! We have gaming systems, televisions, and lots of space in our luxury vans, making it perfect for fun times on the road! However, if you are going somewhere where a flight is necessary, you can also reserve our vehicle for the trips to and from the airport! We can help eliminate the stress of airport travel and save you money by avoiding high rideshare fees or high airport parking fees!

If you decide to travel to your destination with us, you can reserve the driver and vehicle for the duration of your trip! This will save you big on rental cars and allow the party to keep going even when on the go!

If You Fly, Pack Light to Avoid Unnecessary Baggage Fees

Ahead of flying, look into your airline’s baggage policies. Most airlines allow for one small personal item that can fit under the seat in front of you and include one carry-on bag with a ticket purchase. However, some tickets allow for only personal items. Additionally, in general, most have additional fees that you are subject to for checked bags. Avoid the extra baggage fees and pack light. Follow your airline’s specific baggage policy to ensure no issues occur at the security gate!

Pack a Wellness Kit

Whether you are traveling with your family or your friends from school, spring break is a common time for injuries and illnesses to happen. If you are traveling somewhere where you might not have quick access to medical help, it would be in your best interest to pack a health and wellness kit to use for emergencies. You can bring a light first aid kit with pain relievers, electrolytes, bandages, disinfectants, insect repellent, sunscreen, and aloe vera gel. Having these essentials will help you be prepared for anything your trip might throw at you.

Plan Meals and Activities Ahead

There is nothing worse than being on your trip and suddenly releasing you have no idea what your going to do or where you are going to eat. If you are not staying somewhere that has a specific set of activities or places to eat, for example an all inclusive resort, you have more freedom in this. However, if you are not staying at a place like this, your trip will be a lot smoother if you look into restaurants in the area and things to do around you prior to leaving for the vacation.

Check the Travel Advisory Map

If you plan to go abroad, we advise you look at the travel advisory map first to confirm your destination is safe to travel to at this time. The U.S. State Department creates a travel advisory map and list that designates countries into level rankings to say if the country is safe and if travelers should exercise normal travel precautions (level 1), exercise increased caution (level 2), reconsider their travel (level 3), or if they should not travel there (level 4).

We hope you have a safe and fun spring break!
