Road trip with friends in the Greater Region: getting organised

A road trip with friends around Luxembourg is the ultimate accessible adventure: Trier, Metz, Arlon and the Saar are all within driving reach. But going as a group takes a bit of organising, otherwise small tensions can quickly spoil the trip. The secret is talking about money and pace before you leave.

Sharing roles and costs

Assign someone to the route, someone to the music, someone to keep an eye on the shared budget. Set up a common pot for fuel and tolls, so you avoid nit-picking accounts at every stop. Everyone should know from the start how much they put in the shared pot.

Plan without locking everything down

Set two or three anchor points in the day, but leave room for the unexpected. The best moments of a road trip often happen when you stop on a whim. Just keep in mind the time of the last leg home so you don't get back too late.

Finally, respect the rules of the road and take regular breaks if someone is driving. A good trip is one where everyone comes back fresh and eager to do it again.
