Plotting locations to refuel the car is essential but can be easily forgotten in your planning, especially when heading to remote places. Check where the closest gas station is at each stage of your trip to avoid being left on the side of the road.
Make sure you also consider parking options. First of all, is there any? Do you have to pay? If so, do they accept card or cash on? Are there limit parking spaces? And lastly, does the parking lot have opening hours?

Don’t be too strict with your itinerary. Allow for road closures, detours, and spontaneous when you see something interesting or want to stay longer in a certain place.
Finally, stay safe! If you’re driving long distances for extended periods of time, make sure you get plenty of sleep the night before, have plenty of rest breaks, and rotate drivers."
