As a lover of both music and driving, I never drive without music playing. If you don't listen to music while driving, you're doing it wrong. For a road trip, whether it be an hour, or five hours, a playlist is a necessity. If you add any of these songs to your road trip playlist, trust me, you won't regret it.
1. Fumes- Eden
Best for everyday driving, and of course for road trips. When the beat drops, its almost infectious.

My go to song if I'm traveling to the beach. Looking for a more upbeat version? Check out The Felix Jaehn Remix.

One of my all time favorites.
