You should always check credentials, and avoid releasing your passport or official documents to these individuals. Walk or drive your own car to a police station if you are asked to. Avoid getting into a vehicle with anyone you don't know. Subscribe to a price watcher for travel. That way, you can enter your favorite destinations and receive updates on prices and offers. When the prices of the hotel or airfares drop to the level of your choosing, the website will alert you with an email about the change. This will help ensure you don't miss a savings opportunity. Keep travel essentials stored in the same place of your home. Do not waste time scouring you home for all of the items you need. Try buying a type of plastic bin and keeping all the traveling items in a single spot. You can use an under-bed box to make sure they are out of the way and hidden, but easily found when needed for your next trip. When flying on a plane, you should plan ahead because an airline won't always be able to meet your basic needs, even when the flight lasts for many hours. Provide your own blanket and pillow if you know that you will have a requirement for them, your own headphones too. Don't go hungry! Bring your own healthy snacks on the plane!

Your policy may already provide you with some of the coverage you will need to drive a rental car. Auto insurance policies usually include at least some third party liability coverage. Be sure to doublecheck your policy prior to leaving for your trip. Rental car companies usually require renters to be 18 years old at the youngest, but many require drivers that are at least 25 or older. You may also need to bring a credit card with you. Some cities do not allow senior citizens to rent cars. Inquire about age limits when renting a car. Work to stay out of rush hour when driving on a long trip. If you can't plan your trip where you won't be driving during rush hour, use that time to stop for a break. This may be an opportunity to stop for something to eat and give the kids time to get some exercise. Any great vacation can go awry if proper research time is not used in the planning. Reading reviews from others who have traveled to your destination is key. This can prevent you from visiting bad parts of town and staying in a disgusting hotel.
