Labor Day falls on Monday, Sept. 7, this year. Check out our travel tips to ensure you make the most of your holiday weekend.
Hit the Road
According to AAA, the national average for gas prices is down compared to this time last year. Take advantage of the lowest prices in years by going on a road trip.
Perform a Routine Check
Make sure your car is safe and ready to go before you depart. Make sure your tires are properly inflated and your wiper fluid is full. Pack a car emergency kit complete with jumper cables, a tire gauge, a tool kit and a flashlight. Check to see if your first aid kit is fully stocked.
Pack Provisions
Bring your own food and drinks along to avoid pricey items at rest stops and along the beach.
Be Flexible
If possible, plan to travel during off-peak days and times. A Saturday–Wednesday trip is best for beating the crowds. If you’re driving to your destination, think about leaving late at night.
Earn Some Money
If you plan to take a long trip, look into an apartment/home-rental service like VRBO or Airbnb to rent out your space while you’re away.
