Now that lockdowns are loosing up, it's time to fill up the gasoline. You're most probably trying to find the safest way to travel. Well, actually, the safest option is staying at home, but if you have a plan for this summer, the best way to go is a good old road trip. 

We all love flying, but for a while, it is necessary to put this idea on the shelf. Travel restrictions due to COVID-19 will make cars our favorite travel vehicles in this period. Traveling with only our family or people we know in a car makes us feel safer and this way, we don't have to be in public areas such as airports. 

We have compiled a list of the best road trip essentials to go with your disinfectants when packing.
