Some advice is general: Prep your car and its gear so that there are no mishaps while driving. Change the tyres for a long journey in a rocky or rainy terrain, to ensure the car doesn’t skid. Stock yourselves well with tools to fix a flat tyre or or even its electrical system. Apart from using a GPS, carry a physical map with you because there will be lots of times where Google Maps just wouldn’t help. You can get a variety of these tools as well as services on the Let’s Barter India app, available on Android and iOS.

On the Let’s Barter India app, you will also be able to find tools for entertainment like an auxiliary wire or bluetooth speakers. Good music will ensure your trip is in sync with your mood. In case you’re going in a group where not everyone is well acquainted with each other, carry board games like Pictionary and Taboo, they are immediate icebreakers. A frisbee is the ultimate outdoor activity to get everyone’s blood rushing and enjoy the fresh air. Check out our Let’s Barter India app for more such thrilling games and activities.

Forget phone photography, take a camera along. We guarantee you won’t regret this decision when you see your pictures years later. Sometimes a little expensive but another very quirky option is to take a Polaroid. Barter your old gadgets for something new, on the Let’s Barter India app, to help you capture your memories better and not burn a hole in your pocket.

Road trips are a combination of spontaneity and planning, and balancing them both is important for a successful vacation. Use barter to make your trip unique, exciting and cost-effective. Enjoy your road trip this I-Day!
