Take this advice – and a free neck pillow – and you’ll always arrive refreshed.
If the journey truly is the destination, make sure you travel in comfort. Tyres & More® is giving customers who buy 4 tyres from selected brands a free Tyres & More® travel pillow.
“You can’t overestimate the value of comfortable travel when you’re driving, especially over long distances at the end of year,” said Farishta Singh, Group Marketing Executive of TiAuto Investments. “Arriving refreshed is like adding an extra day to your holiday, because there’s no need to recover from the journey.”
“That’s why we’re very pleased to give our customers a little stocking filler that’ll help them enjoy their drive more, and a few tips to see them comfortably – and safely – on their way.”
- Prepare your car properly.
Driving long distances takes a toll on the body. You need to allow for that, and make your traveling environment as comfortable as possible, particularly if you are the driver, and people’s well-being is in your hands. Reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries by adjusting the side and rear mirrors, as well as the seat angles, so that they complement your body comfortably. This will help you focus your attention on the right place – and that’s the road.
- Get enough ZZZZZZ’s before you drive.
It’s a no-brainer that, if you’re going to start tired, you’re going to finish exhausted. This is true for both driver and passenger, so enjoy a decent night’s shuteye before your journey. Save that extra dance for when you get to your destination. Not the night before.
- Take regular breaks.
A long car journey is not a sprint. You need to pace yourself, and make sure you’re staying in top form the whole trip. Stretch your legs every 200kms. And take a decent lunch break.
- You can’t have road trips without padkos!
And that’s a great thing. Pack guilty culinary pleasures for those highway-hypnotic hours. They’ll give you something yummy to look forward to. But also think healthily. Plan ahead, make real food ahead of time that’ll give you real energy, and you won’t become reliant on roadside fast food joints and empty carbs.
- Stay hydrated.
Maximum energy, and therefore maximum comfort, needs a brimming water supply. Make sure you’re drinking enough fluids, ideally water, regularly. This may mean a slight increase on loo breaks, but that’s a great excuse to stretch your legs.
- Keep everyone happy.
A carload of grumps will not travel in comfort. That’s for sure. Make sure the kids are kept entertained and distracted with books, puzzles, and road trip games. And it’s not just kids that need to be kept comfortable. We all do.
And that, dear travellers, is exactly where the free travel pillow from Tyres & More® fits in! Buy any four tyres from any of these quality brands: BFG, Bridgestone, Continental, General Tire, GT Radial, Hankook, Michelin, Pirelli, Sava or Yokohama and get a FREE Tyres & More kombi travel neck pillow.
