Top Tips from Carrentals.co.uk

Plan Ahead - Planning is essential - make lists of all the things you need to have with you and need to have done before embarking and things will go more smoothly. Have things like car seats, entertainment for the kids and first aid kits ready beforehand and don't leave it until the last minute to get things like this together.

Timing is Everything - Leave home early in the morning and the kids could sleep for the first half of the journey. Stop somewhere for breakfast, get them changed out of their pyjamas and into fresh clothes and you'll find that the journey goes a lot more swimmingly than it might have done.

Pit-stops - A good way to make sure the children don't get too bored is by stopping at interesting places along the way. Also good for Mum and Dad too!

Entertainment - Making sure that the kids have plenty to occupy them is essential. Have things to hand like portable DVD players, games consoles, mp3 players, e-book readers and more - plus don't forget time-honoured games like I Spy and the Licence Plate Game.

Snacks - Stop the kids getting hungry or thirsty by making sure you have plenty of snacks and drinks in the car.

Think Outside of the Box - One fun way to keep the children busy is with a disposable camera - they can take photos of the journey and compile a scrapbook when you get home again.

Follow the route - Mapping out the route with a highlighter is a fun and educational way to keep the children from getting restless too.
