Travel and road trips

Checklist for travelling by car from Valencia

Before leaving by road, prepare luggage, documents, phone, water and route calmly. This checklist does not replace vehicle checks or traffic authority advice.

Luggage and organisation

Separate documents, chargers, water and medication.
Check dimensions if you combine car travel with train or plane.
Do not leave visible objects when parking in tourist areas.

Set the route before leaving, use a stable phone holder and carry a cable or power bank if you will be out for many hours.

Water, heat and breaks

Plan rest stops, keep water accessible and avoid leaving batteries or devices in direct sun inside the car.

Safety

Check tyres, lights, fluids, insurance, documentation and required safety items before a long trip.
