Road Trip Ready: Smart Essentials Every Thanksgiving Traveler Needs

Smart Essentials to Bring on Your Thanksgiving Road Trip 

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to pack up, hit the road, and head out for food, family, and a little fun along the way. Before you take off from Peoria, AZ, make sure you’ve got all the smart essentials to bring on your Thanksgiving road trip. At Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead, we know a little preparation makes those miles far more enjoyable—no matter how many rest stops or snack breaks you make.

What Are the Smart Essentials to Bring on Your Thanksgiving Road Trip? 

Let’s start with the basics—snacks, water, and chargers. You’ll want to keep everyone happy (and quiet!) as you make your way through Arizona highways. Pack a small cooler with drinks and easy bites, and don’t forget a reusable water bottle for each passenger. 

Next up, organization. A tidy car means a calmer drive. Bring a small tote or backseat organizer to keep cords, tissues, hand sanitizer, and napkins close by. A trash bag or bin also keeps things from turning into a mess halfway through the trip. 

Comfort counts, too. Throw in a cozy blanket, travel pillow, and sunglasses for those sunny afternoon drives. And since road trips have a way of surprising you, make space for a basic first-aid kit, a flashlight, jumper cables, and a tire pressure gauge. You’ll thank yourself later if you need them. 

Lastly, entertainment. Download playlists, podcasts, or a family-friendly audiobook before leaving Wi-Fi behind. If you’re driving a Mercedes-Benz equipped with advanced infotainment, use voice control or built-in navigation to make the trip more connected and relaxed.
