If you're planning a long-distance road trip across North America, one of the best suggestions I can offer is to go with a group of people and make sure that they all know how to drive. There are a few reasons for that.
The first reason is that it will cut costs if you can drive in shifts. How? Well, you won't necessarily need to stop at hotels. So, you won't need to pay room fees.
Another reason that it's great to have a second driver, or multiple drivers, along is that you can pack meals for the ride and eat those meals in shifts. The driver should be able to concentrate fully on the road in front of them. So, whoever isn't driving can eat and then positions can be switched. That will save everyone from having to stop and sit down at a restaurant to eat, which will save both time and money.
Speaking of saving time, that's a big reason to drive in shifts, too. You can't drive a long distance on your own. So, you'd be forced to stop for naps or at hotels over night. If you're in a rush to get to an event, like a funeral or wedding, that won't do.
Of course, there's the most basic reason to travel in a group, the company. It can be tough to travel a long distance across North America on your own, since it can be too quiet and boring. Having another person in the car to talk to, sing with or play games with can really help you to pass the time. You'll find that your road trip will seem much shorter. In fact, if you've reduced stops, it may well be shorter.
