There’s something special about road trip holidays.

That sense of freedom and seeing where the open road takes you can give you an adventure that no other holiday can unless of course, you’re hiking in a jungle in the middle of nowhere.
Of course, road tripping can also be really kind to your wallet meaning you can get away without breaking the bank. All you really need to get started is a direction a destination and a car.
We’ve got 5 road trip travel hacks that can give you the trip of a lifetime without having to splash the cash.

Choose camping over hotels
If you’re exploring the east coast, pack a tent and you’ll save a ton of money. Then you can save your cash for an occasional night at a hotel to freshen up and get some laundry done.
Spending the day on the road and the nights under the stars makes for the ultimate road trip for friends and families and it’s a great way of cutting down costs. Nothing says bonding than a good old fashioned camp out with your buddies.

Bring your own food
Eating every meal in a restaurant will blow your money fast. Chances are you’re going to pass several supermarkets on your trip so take advantage of them to grab breakfast and fresh food for lunch.
Bakeries and local take away shops also offer delicious food at a fraction of the price of restaurants and bars so check them out too. Road trips are about exploring, so why not be adventurous about where you eat too?
If you pack the basics before you head out on the road and get creative with where you buy dinner you can keep your road trip costs relatively low.

Get active!
Sometimes the best thing about a road trip is getting out of the car! If you love being active on holiday, you don’t have to give that up on the road.
When you plan your route, look out for hiking trails, places to swim or even somewhere to go fishing.
Queensland has a plethora of tourism spots, just keep your eye open for the brown and white signs with points of interest you can explore along the way.

Most don’t cost you a thing and these kinds of activities are another way to explore our great country!

If you are moving or simply need to transport some large items across the city, you should hire a pallet truck from Betta Auto Hire!

Let’s review the benefits of a pallet truck and why it might make sense to hire one today.

Benefits of Hiring a Pallet Truck
A pallet truck is a great way to move large items that a standard truck may not be able to transport. These trucks have a unique look since they consist of a flatbed – which resembles a pallet – that has no roof or sides surrounding it.
Our Tradie’s 6 pallet truck is a great option to suit all of these needs. It is rated up to 4.49 tonnes and does not require a special license to drive. Our trucks have a 3-rack system to maximise your ability to tie down large items.

All of our pallet trucks have air conditioning as well to ensure you have the most comfortable experience!

Here are a few of the top benefits of hiring a pallet truck:

They are Very Easy to Load and Unload
Pallet trucks are extremely easy to load and unload when compared to traditional moving trucks. Since there are no roofs or sides to get in your way, you have a much larger surface area to move large items around.
Likewise, you can load items from any direction – this will save you time and effort when you are moving a lot of boxes and need to stack them in a particular order for easy delivery or transport.

Improved Flexibility
Hiring a pallet truck also gives you greater flexibility when it comes to the type of items you can transport. The fact that there is no roof or sides to the truck bed means that you can hold taller and wider items that you normally could not fit into a regular moving truck.
Whether you’re hauling a refrigerator or an entire house’s worth of furniture, you will be able to arrange it flexibly with a pallet truck.

Reduce the Number of Trips You Need to Move
There is much more space available for storage on a flatbed truck, which means that it will require fewer trips for you to move. Not only does this save you a large amount of time that it takes to load up the truck for each trip, but it will also save you on fuel and time spent driving back and forth.

You Can Use it to Pick Up a Large Purchase – Save on delivery costs
If you have recently purchased a large item – or one that is too tall to fit in your vehicle – consider hiring a pallet truck.
You can transport the large object to and from wherever you need to go, without having to rely on a friend to help you or needing to pay expensive shipping costs.

There is No Long-Term Commitment Required

Of course, one of the biggest benefits of truck hire is that you can get the job done with no long-term commitment! No registrations, No maintenance and No servicing.

Whether you need the truck for just a few days – or a couple of weeks – you get to choose how long you rent the truck for.
