Preparing your departure
Preparation is key to a successful trip. Here are some practical tips.
- Check the vehicle condition: before you go, inspect the car with the owner: tires, brakes, oil level, wipers, air conditioning. Report any issues in the vehicle condition report.
- Plan your route: use GPS or a navigation app on your phone. Download offline maps if you're worried about signal dead zones.
- Schedule breaks: the journey can be long. Plan stops to stretch your legs, hydrate, and eat. Rest areas exist along the road.
- Check the weather: depending on the season, the road may be more or less passable. In rainy season, be cautious, especially on unpaved sections.
- Bring water and snacks: especially if traveling with children or in a group, it can make the trip more pleasant.
