What are some tips to make your car more comfortable on a road trip?
My car isn't huge, but it's the most reliable. Because it's small, how do I maximize comfort on the road trip for both myself as the driver and the passengers?

“You have plenty of ways to keep the journey more comfortable for both you and your passengers.
For the passengers, throw some blankets and pillows in the back in case you can’t agree on an air conditioning temperature or they get sleepy. You should also adjust the front seats so you can drive comfortably while allowing maximum foot space behind you.
In addition, try to keep all the clutter to a minimum so they aren’t doing a contortionist act just to sit in the vehicle.
If you’re driving, you have even more options. Some products that might make the journey more bearable for you, especially over long distances, include:
- A heating/massage insert for the driver’s seat
- A cooling gel steering wheel cover
- Hooks and storage to keep all your stuff at arm’s reach
- Lumbar support cushion
- Sunshade to keep your interior from feeling like the surface of the sun
And if you want some comfort for your mind, make sure to look into
towing and labor coverage
for your car, which can help you if you break down.Jerry’s
