4 Holiday Planning Essentials

Lewis Taxis • 31 January 2023

Planning for a holiday can often be more stressful than anticipated, with all sorts to keep in mind, and often varying conditions worth considering. Whether you’re booked up to visit Tenerife, Amsterdam or Devon - these interchangeable holiday tips could be absolutely crucial when packing and organising your temporary trip. Let Lewis Taxis Midlands provide your one-stop guide to vacation preparation, accounting for everything from local events and taxis to appropriate attire.


Chargers And Tech

There’s no doubt about it, some of our most cherished possessions are technology-based, be it a mobile device, laptop or camera set-up. For these reasons, gadgets and any essential tech items should be packed away as a matter of urgency - not to mention the chargers and cable packs which provide them with juice. Snap away those cherished holiday pictures, catch up on work emails and research the local weather forecasts on your laptop - while you can focus on polishing your pearly whites with an electric toothbrush and packed away battery charger.


Local Events Information

Catching yourself up on local activities, events and attractions can really enhance your time away - so why not plan out a rough guide as to where you want to visit and when. Whether researched online or accessed via literature and published guides, your vacationing decisions will largely depend on individual preference - so get to browsing. Local museums and sites of historical significance are a popular choice, whereas the nightlife and restaurant scene may be of particular interest to others.


Reliable Transport

Before you even get to planning out events for your overseas vacation, transport to and from the airport is an often-overlooked necessity. Lewis Taxis Midlands are experienced when it comes to punctually transporting you to your departure setting, be it Birmingham Airport, Nottingham, Wolverhampton or any other relevant location. Worried about missing your flight? Using a computerised booking system has improved the timing of our taxi drivers, while services run 24/7, 365 days a year - ideal for later airport transfer flights.


Weather-Appropriate Clothing

While planning out that killer holiday look may be top of the priority list for some, others are unlikely to pay much mind to their vacation wardrobe - and this can become troublesome if you haven't accounted for the weather upon arrival. Rocking up in sandals and a short-sleeved shirt won’t end well if you’re visiting a notoriously windy country during the Winter, meanwhile you won’t need to wrap up warm if you’re visiting a tropical climate during Summer. Use your best judgement and plan outfits which prepare you for any eventuality.

Undergoing regular DBS checks, as well as medical and driving standard checks through Coventry City Council, our fleet are certainly fit to serve customers 24/7. Any booking enquiries or questions?
