4+1 Fun Car Games for Your Next Road Trip
A road trip is more than just getting from point A to point B. It’s a chance to connect with your travel companions, enjoy the scenery, and create memories that last. And during those long hours on the road, a few simple games can keep the mood light and the atmosphere fun.
Of course, when you’re driving the right car, everything becomes more comfortable and enjoyable. With Hertz, you’ll find the vehicle that perfectly fits the needs of your trip – whether you’re planning a quick getaway, a family road trip, or an adventure with friends.
4+1 Games for the Road – and why the right car makes all the difference
1. License Plate Stories
Watch the license plates of passing cars and come up with a fun sentence using the initials. For example, “KDA” becomes “Keep Driving Always.” The more creative you are, the better!
If you want a great view of the road and your surroundings, a spacious SUV with high visibility makes all the difference. On trips where the goal is to observe and interact, a model like the Dacia Duster offers the ideal experience.
2. Car Karaoke
Music on the road is practically a tradition. Create a playlist with your favorite songs and sing your heart out – no judgment, no pressure.
And if you happen to be driving a cabrio, everything feels even more freeing. The light, the wind, the music – it all comes together. With a cabrio rental, every note truly hits the road.
3. Guess What I’m Thinking
One person thinks of something – an object, a person, a place – and the others ask yes/no questions to guess what it is. It’s a go-to game for couples and small groups.
If your route is a little more adventurous, you’ll appreciate a car that matches that spirit. For off-the-beaten-path vibes, a Wrangler rental brings both character and freedom.
4. Who Spots It First?
Someone chooses something to spot – a red car, a sign starting with “B,” a cow, you name it. It’s especially fun (and useful!) when you’re traveling with kids who need a bit of distraction.
Just make sure they’re comfy and safe. If you’re traveling as a family, renting a car with a child seat is a must – and with Hertz, it’s simple to arrange.
- Three-Word Story
Each person adds one word, and together you build a spontaneous, usually hilarious story. It may start with “Once upon a time...” and end with “...and they flew away with a giant taco.”
It’s a game full of imagination – and it hits differently when the ride has the right energy. If you love the feeling of the drive and want to match that with a fun atmosphere, renting a sports car is a great choice for extra excitement.
Small ideas, great journeys
Sometimes it’s a simple game, a sentence from a license plate, or a song with the windows down that makes a trip truly memorable. And when you combine that with the right vehicle, every mile becomes more enjoyable.
At Autohellas Hertz, we offer a wide range of vehicles to match your needs – whether you're traveling with family, friends, or your partner.
