Americans love road trips. Whether it's across town to visit Grandma, or across the country to see the Grand Canyon, many family stories begin with, "we were on a road trip..." For a few decades, road trip travel lost its allure as airline travel became quite affordable and parents decided that it was just easier and faster to fly.

Historical Destinations

One of the reason that road trips are so popular is that they make it possible to visit many different attractions and sites on a single trip. Most people who fly have a single destination and are fairly limited in geographical area on their trips. Some road trips are developed by parents who want to show their kids historical sites in several different states.

Family Visits

If you are going to travel and visit family, it is a great opportunity for a fun road trip. Pass the time talking about your childhood memories and your family history. This is a great educational experience for children, who don't always get to see their more distant relatives very often. Family stories and legends can help everyone to connect once you reach your destination

Beach Trips

Young adults setting out for a trip to the beach will often choose a road trip over a plane trip because it is just easier. No limits on the number of bags, and no restrictions about what can and can't go into a carry-on bag. It's simple enough to get into the car and drive, while going through airport security just adds time and frustration to a simple beach getaway. Also, many people taking road trips to beaches find it nice to have access to their own car, rather than having to rent a car and return it at the end of the trip.

Road trips are getting very popular among people of every age. Technology and media make road trips fun. GPS units make travelling safer and faster. And road trip travel is definitely a cheaper option than flying.
