What can give me peace of mind on a 1,000-mile road trip?

What should I do to prepare for a 1,000 mile road trip to St. Louis? I'm relocating from New York City to St. Louis for a job. I'm getting my car checked by a mechanic before I leave, but I don't have total faith in the vehicle. I'm nervous about driving my car and need some peace of mind.
