Refuel early: Don’t wait for the warning light, especially late at night or on peak travel days. Fill up when opportunities are convenient instead of risking long queues later.
Peak-time strategy: Keep tissues and sanitizer handy and head for toilets immediately on arrival before food queues. Families benefit from using designated rooms when available.
Dining options: Most RNRs offer local staples and snacks, with larger locations hosting multiple stalls. Off-peak meal times help reduce waiting.
Safer parking habits: Park nose-out when possible for an easier exit and choose well-lit bays at night. Avoid double-parking near toilet or food blocks.
Secure belongings: Stow valuables out of sight, lock doors, and keep breaks purposeful—especially at night. Situational awareness is the best deterrent.
Expect crowding: Eves and returns bring heavy traffic, longer queues for fuel and toilets, and tighter parking. Be flexible and consider the next two RNRs along the route.
Tyres: Heat, speed, and potholes can expose weak tyres. Check pressures when cold before departure and visually inspect sidewalls at major stops.
