Hyundai’s DIY Tips for Road Trips.
Does your getaway plan for the New Year period include driving to those special places you’ve always wanted to visit? This year is the year. But before you head off, scroll through our DIY Tips for Road Trips below to help make sure you’re Road Trip Ready.
Trip: Rainforest.
Tip: Check your windscreen wipers.
Ensure your windscreen wipers are ready for any wet weather. If they’re cracked, scraping or causing arc-shaped streaks, they may need replacing. You can easily replace the rubber inserts at your Local Hyundai dealer.
Trip: Country.
Tip: Check Roadside Support.
Hyundai Roadside Support[H2] is available for 24 hours a day, every day of the year, right across Australia to help get you back up and running. It comes with every new Hyundai, plus you get an additional 12 months of Roadside Support when you service at an authorised Hyundai dealer. Don’t worry if your car isn’t new, it automatically becomes eligible when you have it serviced with us (as long as its less than 10 years[H4] old).
Keep our Hyundai Roadside Support number handy: 1800 186 306.
Trip: Caravanning.
Tip: Towing.
If you’re towing[H1} a caravan to your favorite holiday spot, it’s a good idea to check the brake lights and indicators are working, and that it’s hitched correctly to your tow bar. For larger caravans, you can always double check your vehicle’s maximum towing and down ball capacity by referring to your owner’s manual for specific weight ratings and load bearing recommendations.
Trip: Anywhere.
Tip: Hyundai Service.
If your Hyundai is due for a scheduled service - or it’s been a while since you had one done - book your service today so that you’ll be Road Trip Ready for when the time comes to head-off.
Classic road trip games for the family.
In addition to all the toys, sports gear and other fun stuff you pack for your holidays, keep these easy DIY road trip games up your sleeve. They’ll keep all your passengers entertained and help make getting there half the fun.
Licence plate game.
Someone reads out the first 3 letters on a passing car’s number plate. Each person gets a point for every 3-word phrase they come up with that uses the first letter of each word. Increase the difficulty with a theme (e.g. if the theme is Christmas, “RNR” could be “Red Nosed Reindeer”).
Categories (includes driver).
One person picks a category, and each person in the car then takes it in turns to name something else in that category until someone finally can’t. Categories could include: Vegetables, Shoe Brands, Colours, Airlines, Dog Breeds, Capital Cities, Rivers, Metals, Olympic Sports, Ball Sports and more.

Preparation is the key to every successful Road Trip, so get your Hyundai Road Trip Ready from top to bottom by booking it in for a service.
