5 Tips for a Safer and More Comfortable Road Trip Across Java Island ?
We want to give you some ideas of where to stop during your road trip across Java island. But first, you should know some tips to travel safely during the pandemic. Unlike ordinary days, a road trip during this time requires extra planning. Here are some things you should consider before leaving your house:
1. Bring Hand Sanitizers
It seems impossible to not bring a hand sanitizer in your bag at times like this. Bring an alcohol-based hand sanitizer so you can use it anytime you want such as after using a public toilet, or after touching something in public, for instance.
Bring extra hand sanitizers if you need to. Remember that you’re not going on a holiday just by yourself. Your family members may need some as well! ❤️❤️❤️
2. Book Hotel Rooms Ahead of Time
This is part of the planning that you gotta do before you leave your house. We recommend you book hotel rooms before you leave. Don’t rely on last-minute bookings. Firstly, you don’t know whether the hotel you want to stay at is open or not. Secondly, the hotel may be fully booked!
It’s easy and super simple to open tiket.com app and search for hotels that you’re looking for across Java island. If you want to feel more comfortable, you can choose the hotel with tiket CLEAN label, meaning that it has implemented strict health protocols.
3. Take Advantage of Technology
Technology has made it very easy for us to do various things. For example, a map application can help to show the right way to your destination. Aside from that, you can use technology to do transactions digitally. Doing transactions online can reduce interactions with other people that you must do when purchasing products/services using cash.
4. Maintain a Safe Distance
Your car is your ?. You may feel safer because everyone in the car is your family that probably is living under one roof. However, once you’re out of the car, the health protocols apply as usual. Try to maintain a safe distance of 1-2 meters from other people. At tourist attractions, avoid crowds if possible.
5. Drive Safely
Last but not least, this is a general tip that you should apply at all times. Drive carefully for your safety and those people inside your car.
Obey traffic laws & speed limits, and rest when you feel tired. You want to get to each destination and come back home safely, right?
