Set the date, as Thanksgiving is set to hit 2016 on November 24. A great time for families to come together and give thanks for the year that has passed and the year yet to come, Thanksgiving is also a great time to travel. Here are some of the best tips on where to go this thanksgiving, and surviving the holiday rush.
2. Wise up with some road trip apps- Aside from avoiding being on the road between 3-5pm, the busiest time during Thanksgiving, travelers would do well to download some helpful apps. GasBuddy helps drivers locate stations along your chosen route and catalogs prices, ensuring you save every penny. Uber and Lyft are also good alternatives to driving yourself, and Roadie Community allows drivers to deliver packages to where they're going for some extra cash.
In addition, Amtrak is a great alternative to the road trip. This is because the service reaches over 500 destinations in the country and is not subject to holiday traffic accidents. Some might even be lucky enough to get the unexpected perk of Amtrak's Red Cap service which is free of charge.
