Loved your list of road questions. My husband and I just returned from 2 separate trips that together totaled over 9000 miles. It would be great if you could put these in printable format as we discovered that there are vast areas of the West that do not have any kind of coverage!

Hey Nmartin! Thank you for commenting! What an epic trip you guys went on! Sounds amazing. Really glad you enjoyed the questions and great idea on the printable. I hadn’t considered the coverage issue! I’ll try to get onto it at some point soon 🙂 Thank you again and all the best, Danny

There is something here for everyone, so let’s shut the car door on boredom, and get this adventure started.

FAQs About Family Road Trip Questions

Do you still have questions about family road trip questions? Here are answers to some frequently asked questions.

What questions should I ask on a road trip?

On a road trip, the aim is to keep the conversation flowing and the mood upbeat. You can ask entertaining questions like “If you could be any animal for a day, what would you be and why?” or silly ones like “If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?”.

Engaging questions could be thought-provoking such as “If you could have dinner with anyone from history, who would it be and why?” or memory-based like “What was your favorite childhood toy and why?”. The key is to tailor the questions to your family’s interests and to keep the atmosphere fun and light-hearted.

What is the 20 question car game?

The 20-question car game is a popular and funny road trip game where one person thinks of an object, person, or place, and the rest of the participants take turns asking up to 20 yes-or-no questions to figure out what it is.

The person who correctly guesses the answer gets to think of the next item. It’s a fun and engaging way to pass the time on long journeys, promoting critical thinking and creativity.

What are things to talk about on a road trip?

Things to talk about on a road trip can vary greatly depending on the interests of the travelers.

You can discuss topics like favorite movies, music, or books; share interesting facts or trivia; tell funny or memorable personal stories; debate light-hearted hypothetical scenarios; talk about dream travel destinations; or discuss plans for future trips. You can even daydream together about meeting a famous person.

How do I prepare for a family road trip?

Preparing for a family road trip involves planning the route and destinations with fun stops along the way, packing essentials and preparing entertainment, and also checking the vehicle’s condition and necessary documents.

What questions do you ask to start thinking about a trip?

When planning a trip, ask yourself and your travel companions important questions. The first thing to determine is your destination and why you want to visit. Consider your available time and preferred travel dates.

Set a budget and allocate funds wisely. Identify must-visit attractions and activities. Choose accommodation based on availability. Plan transportation to, from, and at the destination. These will all help you outline your trip and ensure a successful and enjoyable journey.

How do I prepare for a perfect road trip?

Planning a perfect road trip requires meticulous organization. Map out your route, research destinations, packing list, and create a flexible itinerary. Pack strategically, check your vehicle, and carry essential documents. Stick to your budget and enjoy the adventure!

👉 I recommend the insurance broker, Insubuy . They help you shop for travel insurance to, within, and outside of the USA.

Final Thoughts on Family Road Trip Questions

As we wrap up this blog post about memorable, must-ask family road trip questions, it’s important to emphasize the value of having a prepared list of conversation starters.

Road trips are not just about reaching your destination; they’re about the journey and the quality time spent together as a family.

My whole family has found that by asking questions during our family road trip, we not only entertain ourselves but also gained insights into each other’s personalities, dreams, and aspirations.

Each time we focus on family time rather than just the destination, our journey becomes more than just a means of transportation. And we have spent a LOT of time in the car on this massive 2+ year road trip !

So, fuel your car, buckle up, and get ready for an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, learning, and love.

Your family road trip awaits, and with the power of these must-ask questions, the possibilities are endless.

Safe travels! 🚐

Arguably, the most important thing a person should consider before taking a road trip is if they have enough money. Make sure you have enough cash for gas, food, lodging, and any other emergencies that may come up.

That being said, a detailed budget for your trip is critical:

• What is the average price of gas on your route?
• How much are you budgeting for food each day?
• How much will lodging cost each night?
• What about “fun money” to spend on entertainment and extras?

Nothing ruins a good road trip like running out of money!

You asked, we answered: Your questions about electric vehicles

Camila Domonoske

If you're thinking about getting an electric vehicle, you're not alone.

People in the U.S. buy more than a million new cars every month, and as of March, less than 10% of those are electric vehicles. But more than half of car shoppers are at least considering battery-powered cars and SUVs, according to multiple studies .

And shoppers have lots of questions. In January, The Sunday Story, an NPR podcast, asked listeners for their EV questions. More than 60 listeners sent in queries, and The Sunday Story and Life Kit teamed up to answer them. The listener questions have been edited for length and clarity.

Are EVs truly better for the planet, even with mining for batteries and fossil-fuel -based electricity to charge them? (This was the No. 1 question asked by our listeners.)

The answer is yes . Many researchers have confirmed it , and online tools let you compare the impacts for yourself. One of the most recent analyses comes from Corey Cantor with the energy research company BloombergNEF, who headlined his report last month: "No Doubt About It: EVs Really Are Cleaner Than Gas Cars."

"Big picture, moving away from spewing more CO2 into the atmosphere is a good thing for the climate," he says. And the environmental benefits of EVs are getting bigger over time as grids get cleaner.

Is it better from an environmental standpoint to buy an electric vehicle now, or keep driving the gas car you have until you need a new car? –Ali Mercural, Portland, Ore.

For the climate, there's a strong case for switching now.

Yes, creating that new EV — getting the materials to build it from scratch — is resource-intensive. But the climate impact of a gas-powered car increases every single day you drive it.

To be precise, more than 85% of a gas-powered vehicle's lifetime emissions come from using the car, not from building the car. That's according to researchers at Argonne National Laboratory. And that means the new EV, despite its manufacturing costs, will be cleaner over time.

Jessika Trancik , a professor at the Institute for Data, Systems and Society at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, suggests taking the long view on decisions like these. Think not just about emissions right now but over the entire time you'll own a vehicle.

"Generally speaking, switching to that electric vehicle is going to provide a benefit over the lifetime of the car," she says.

I'm not proud, but I've run out of gas twice in my life. Luckily, I had friends nearby to bring me a gallon of gas. What would happen if I ran out of charge in an EV? Would a tow truck come to charge me up? How long would that take? And how embarrassing would that be? –Robin Rzechula, Chicago

We can't promise it won't be embarrassing, but a tow truck could tow you to a charger. In some cities, AAA will bring a mobile charger to you.

Overall, charging is a different experience than fueling up. With a combustion engine, you have to regularly make a stop at a gas station to fill up. With an EV, for daily driving, most people charge at home overnight – which drivers frequently cite as a major perk of EV ownership. (This does require the ability to charge at home).

For road trips, on the other hand, many parts of the country still have limited availability of fast chargers, which are high-speed chargers designed for use in the middle of a trip. Charger speeds and reliability at public charging stations vary, and charging takes much longer than filling up at a gas station.

So charging takes less work day-to-day, but more planning on long trips. Map out chargers on your route so you won't find yourself calling AAA.

Does leasing an electric car come with the same perks (like tax rebates) as buying an electric car? –Hallie Andrews, Washington, D.C.

The same or better.

There's a federal $7,500 tax credit for purchasing an EV, now available as an up-front credit toward the cost of the car. But the list of vehicles that qualify is short because of requirements meant to support U.S. jobs and supply chains. Buyers also have to be under an income cap.

Leased electric vehicles all qualify for a $7,500 credit – no matter where they're built, with no income cap. Check your lease paperwork to confirm that the credit is being fully passed along to you.

Efforts underway to make cities more EV-friendly

Wouldn't it be better to design cities around mass transit and use mass transit than get everyone to convert to electric vehicles? – Thomas Guffey, Los Angeles

Yes, designing cities to encourage mass transit – and to make them more walkable and bikeable – has a lower carbon footprint than relying on electric vehicles, in addition to other benefits . Electric bikes also have a fraction of the environmental footprint of EVs.

Switching to EVs is an important part of fighting climate change, but far from the only change that needs to happen.
