Check out these pre-holiday travel tips from MPT Mobility

MPT Mobility has shared pre-holiday travel tips to help motorists stay safe while they’re on the road.

According to the mobility solutions arm of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), the upcoming All Saints’ Day, All Souls’ Day, and barangay elections could most likely spell heavy bumper-to-bumper traffic. On that note, here are a few travel hacks that might just make the journey a lot easier.

Use Easytrip

Utilizing one’s Easytrip RFID can ensure a smoother and more convenient experience, especially when vehicles are starting to pile up at the toll plaza.

Even more convenient is finding a location where one can get an Easytrip RFID since all it takes is a quick search on Google Maps or the Easytrip Station Finder to spot the nearest Easytrip RFID Station.

For those planning to travel during the long weekend, the tollway firm reminds them to visit dedicated stations ahead of time for swift transactions and to dodge expressway congestion.

Use a navigation app

A first aid kit, a power bank, extra cash, and even a water bottle are just some of the must-haves for those looking to hit the road.

Equally important is a navigation app, so drivers can stay on schedule and better anticipate the traffic conditions ahead. A travel companion app like MPT DriveHub can help users through real-time traffic alerts so they can either stick to their plan or make changes on the fly.

Budget like a boss

Managing one’s travel budget is made easy when using Eastrip RFID.

Linking one’s Easytrip RFID account with MPT DriveHub ensures that checking balance and topping up is made simple and straightforward.

Doing so in advance can eliminate hassles on the road and will allow better budgeting of one's travel expenses.

Have a go-to pit stop

It’s not uncommon that one has to do pit stops, whether to gas up, get one’s caffeine fix, buy more snacks, or to visit a restroom.

A place like the NLEX (North Luzon Expressway) Drive & Dine is a great place to do all your business, especially before completing the last leg of the trip back to Metro Manila.

Not only does it offer great dining options for tired and hungry travelers and motorists, but it also showcases the kind of unique experience all MPT Mobility brands seek to provide.

Plan emergency options

While no one really wants to encounter emergencies while traveling, it is imperative to prepare emergency options in case something untoward happens.

On top of having emergency kits and numbers readily available, using the MTP DriveHub app can give stranded motorists access to a 24/7 roadside assistance feature to help them get safely off or back on the road as soon as possible.
