Holiday checklist
Our helpful guide to a fuss-free, full-of-fun staycation.Travel essentials
Choose your location
Camping
Pack up, pitch up and go anywhere you like! And with the right kit, it’s easy to create a home from home amongst the wildlife.
Seaside
Sand between your toes, paddling in the sea or enjoying fish and chips on the pier. Sound good? Then pack the essentials and cruise to the coast.
Countryside
Looking for a peaceful getaway? Enjoy the UK's beautiful countryside, with long walks, star-filled nights and visits to the local pub.
At home
Make the most of entertaining at home. Host a BBQ, throw a picnic in the park, or simply enjoy relaxing in your own glorious garden.
Packing list
Be road trip ready
Are we there yet?
Don’t waste any time reaching your destination. Use a sat nav to find new places, emergency pit stops and ways to steer away from traffic.
Shop all sat navsRising inflation
If you’re heading off on a staycation, then you’re probably carrying more than usual. Check your vehicle handbook and adjust your tyre pressure to support the additional weight.
Stay charged
A flat or faulty battery is the number one callout for breakdown services in the UK. Use a charger to keep your battery topped up whilst you're away.
Travel entertainment
Keep boredom at bay during long journeys. Choose between in-car DVD players, portable game consoles and travel toys. Or why not make up your own games?
Let the fun begin
Bike rides
Wherever you go, explore the local area and enjoy some exercise with a family bike ride.
Board games
Rainy days, or chilled evenings. There’s no better way to bring everyone together than with a game.
BBQs
Host at home, or take it with you. Either way, it’s not a holiday without grilling (or burning) a burger or two.
Cameras
Don't miss a single moment of your holiday. Simply snap away with GoPros, selfie sticks and more.
