Best Essentials for Road Trips That You Didn't Know You Needed

In case you haven't already heard, road trips are the travel style of the moment.
As the world starts to open up again after closing to slow the spread of the coronavirus, travel is looking like a viable option for your spring vacations -- including a much-needed spring break, whether you're in college or not. But, as with most things in 2021, packing your bags and heading to a new location looks a little different than it might have in the past.
If you feel iffy about jetting off to faraway destinations but still have the travel bug, a road trip is the perfect way to get your fix. Along with the safety of being in your own (or rented) car with your closest friends and family -- and no one else -- there are plenty of other added benefits to hitting the road, like being able to bring anything you can fit.
Take this time to create a unique opportunity with your friends, parents, or other loved ones and set your sights on the endless road before you. But before you fill your tank and close that trunk, there are few things to consider packing into your luggage. Your alternative spring break road trip -- whether it's for a single day or a full week -- comes with its own territory, especially when you have hours-long drives and bathroom breaks to account for. Luckily, ET Style has found just the things to keep your trip as smooth as possible.
Perhaps you're looking for reliable coolers and thermoses to keep your meals and drinks fresh throughout your drive. Or you need a new car organizer to hold hand sanitizer, video games, and other car necessities. Whatever you're looking for, scroll down to see all the travel essentials to take on your next road trip -- for spring break and beyond.
