Why Take a Road Trip with Pack Up + Go
Road Trips are a quintessentially American pastime.
From annual family beach vacations to holiday celebration travel, Road Trips have a special place in each of our hearts. At Pack Up + Go, Road Trips hold another special meaning - they’re a great kind of Surprise Trip!
Our best reasons why your next vacation should be a Pack Up + Go Road Trip:
Suggested Pit Stops To + From your Mystery Destination
Ability to Visit Smaller, Less Frequently Traveled Cities
More Comfort When Traveling to An Unknown Destination
Suggested pit stops to + from your mystery destination.
When you book a Pack Up + Go Road Trip, you’ll receive curated stops to eat, drink, and play on the way to your destination!
Enjoy scenic views, hidden gems, and other stops that add to the excitement while you make your way to your Surprise Destination, in addition to your curated recommendations and reservations waiting for you in your mystery location.
Your Road Trip pit stops will have addresses, hours of operation, and descriptions of the businesses so you know exactly where to go and what to expect. The vacation starts right when your foot hits the pedal, not just when you arrive at your destination!
2. Ability to visit smaller, less frequently traveled cities.
Choosing a Pack Up + Go Road Trip increases the number of Surprise Destinations options!
Regional airports in small cities can be difficult or expensive to get to, making many great American cities best accessed by car. Road Trips allow Pack Up + Go Travelers to explore a multitude of cities that Plane Trips cannot, such as Asheville, NC, Moab, UT, and Grand Rapids, MI. Pack Up + Go’s philosophy is that each American city has something incredible to offer.
Taking a Road Trip allows you to explore the winding roads and incredible views of Ithaca, NY, or the small-town charm and historic architecture of Louisville, KY.
Pack Up + Go offers many destinations that are exclusively available to our Road Trip travelers! Smaller cities = more surprises. Plus, if you’re interested in exploring the great outdoors, you can sign up for a Pack Up + Go Outdoors Trip in order to explore somewhere even more remote! Outdoors Road Trips have unique destinations, recommendations, and accommodation types.
3. More comfort when traveling to the unknown.
There are few things better than witnessing the fall foliage of a New England autumn or driving down Highway 1 on the California coast. What’s better, however, is enjoying all of this from the comfort of your own car!
When you take a Pack Up + Go Road Trip you get to depart for your adventure when you are ready. No 5 AM wake-up call to make a flight!
Since Pack Up + Go tries to limit travel time to under 6 hours, you’ll be closer to your home and can have added flexibility for when you choose to depart or return. During your travel time, you can stop off at the suggested pit stops from our Team, listen to a podcast, or discover new quirky attractions!
Taking a Pack Up + Go Surprise Trip is a leap of faith into the unknown. If you’re nervous to take that first step, a Road Trip is a great way to get your feet wet. Plus, you’ll have access to our 24/7 Traveler Support Team, in case you have any questions or need any help along the way, and can purchase Peace of Mind Refund Assurance to help with any unexpected changes that may arise before your departure.
