Countless people across the U.S. will take to the highways this summer for a road trip. If you’re planning to travel by car this coming season, one important detail for your trip is knowing where to fuel up. While you may not be able to plot out every stop, having a few gas stations in mind along your course can help you budget for gas accordingly and ensure a clean, quality rest spot. Here are a few qualities to seek in gas stations on your trip route. 

What to Look for in Gas Stations During Road Trips 

1. Accessibility 

No one wants to get stuck driving around for miles off course. Make sure the fuel stop you’re considering has a location that’s convenient to your travel plans. Being located on a highway means you’ll be able to pick right back up on your route once you’ve filled up.

2. Clean Facilities 

Clean restrooms are a must-have for road trips. Name-brand gas stations have a reputation to uphold and may therefore be more likely to maintain sanitary, well-kept facilities. Just keep in mind that most stations reserve restrooms for paying customers. 

3. Well-Stocked Store

By the time you’ve been on the road for a while, you may start to get some cravings. Whether it’s a hot sandwich, a cup of coffee to give you an extra jolt, or a salty snack, a well-stocked convenience store is sure to deliver. Look for a mart that has more than just packaged goods to satisfy your hunger.

4. 24/7 Pump Service

Whether you’re strategically driving through the night to beat traffic or you’re getting to your destination later than anticipated, there may be times when you need to fuel up after hours. A gas station with 24/7 pump service ensures you can fill your tank even when the store is closed. This provides peace of mind knowing that you won’t have to drive around on empty in the dark looking for fuel.

5. A Range of Fuel and Payment Options 

Whether you have a diesel vehicle or you prefer to fill up with premium, it helps to know the gas stations you’ll stop at have a variety of fuel options to choose from. As an added bonus, look for a spot that accepts various payment options. Having an ATM on site is also a convenient feature in case you want to take out some cash to have on the road.
