3 Important Holiday Travel Tips

’Tis the season … for travel. The holidays are here again, and that means it’s time to hit the road and spend time with the people who matter most. But before you do, you may want to consider these three travel tips from your friends at Tipton Ford in Brownsville, Texas.

• Pack smart. Packing for a family road trip can be stressful, but one thing you never want to leave out is a well-stocked emergency kit. Make sure you have essentials like a first aid kit, basic tools, road flares, and other basic must-haves.
• Prepare your phone. If you’re making a long trip, you may find yourself relying on smartphone apps for navigation and entertainment. Be sure to download apps before you leave to avoid chewing through your data — or use your FordPass Connect™ 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and have convenient internet access on the go.
• Show your vehicle some TLC. This is the time of year for giving thanks and showing love, and your Ford car, truck, or SUV deserves it as much as any other member of your family. Keep your ride up to date on important maintenance like oil changes, tire rotation, battery check, and general check-ups. For all those service needs, turn to the pros at Tipton Ford.

Whether it’s seasonal maintenance or treating yourself to a well-deserved holiday gift, Tipton Ford in Brownsville, Texas, is here to serve you this holiday season.
