The cost of renting a car might vary greatly. Because of this, it's a good idea to book your car in advance (ideally with a firm that offers free cancellations) and monitor any reductions in price.
Prepare to deal with stress and replace it with joy
With any luck, all that planning will keep you composed while you travel over the holidays. Consider downloading a few meditation apps, like Headspace or Calm, to use while traveling if you need a little assistance unwinding.
Verify the opening times for the attractions at your location
There are others taking holiday breaks besides you. So are those who work in hospitality and tourism. Note holiday hours before you go for your must-see locations.
Next, in the event that your flight is canceled, attempt to plan a backup route to your destination. To avoid feeling like you're missing out on something, find out how far it is to get there by car, research bus and rail schedules, or come up with a completely other plan B for your holiday celebration (like a staycation).
