Tips to Prepare for your Ormoc Trip
A trip to Ormoc City isn’t complete without going on side trips to Samar, other municipalities of Leyte, and even Southern Leyte. There are just so many natural wonders you can visit in region 8! But rather than availing an expensive tour package, you might think that it’s more affordable for you and your friends to rent a vehicle and drive it yourself!
That is a great and feasible idea! But before you just go and launch on your Eastern Visayas road trip, you need an effective plan. It is important to familiarize yourself with the road, the route, and what vehicle is best for you to use.
To assist you in your planning, here are some of our suggestions on what to keep in mind when you go on a road trip!
Stick to SUVs or Pick Up Trucks.
The roads in Eastern Visayas are mostly paved, cemented, and graveled – there are still areas with bumpy uncemented roads or where the streets are completely broken. It is better for you and your group to rent pick-up trucks and SUVs instead of sedans or hatchbacks. The impact of a long road with unstable ground might be too much if you rent a low-lying vehicle.
Aim for a big and tough vehicle that is still within your budget. It should last throughout your few days of going on a roadtrip to whatever corner in Region 8.
Make sure the vehicle has enough space for your companions and your belongings
Road trips in the region can last between an entire day to days even! Traffic won’t be a problem for some destinations because they are only issues within the city.
Establishing that you and friends are going on a long ride together in a moving vehicle, it is a must for you to have room for yourselves and that it is clean. It’s unpleasant to stay in a smelly vehicle that requires you to stay in the same position for a time. Make sure you won’t be cramped and that the ambience is pleasant.
Extra room in the back is also a necessity whenever you eat your meals. On rush times when you need to eat take outs while the car is running, it is a must that there is extra space for you to have your meal.
Prepare for emergencies.
A non-negotiable way to ensure your safety is that when you are looking for a company to rent a car from – you should find one that prioritizes the customer’s safety and security above everything else. You should go for one that offers great units for its value.
What to look out for in a company to know whether it is emergency ready are the following:
1. They must have a spare tire.
2. The staff leaves you with numbers to reach in case of emergency.
3. There is rental car insurance.
4. They have clear instructions regarding liabilities and accidents.
You should also bring your own emergency items just in case. A first aid kit, some extra clothes, a flashlight, batteries, powerbank, and more might be useful to you in case something happens.
To make your Ormoc trip more memorable, you should also take into consideration the journey you have to go through. When planning, make sure that the trip will be stress-free. By avoiding the stressors there is in traveling, your vacation will be left with only happy memories to remember.
