Create a Spotify playlist

Music is essential to every car ride. Create your own playlist on Spotify or subscribe to one that has already been created and launch it on your mobile device as soon as you hit the road. One of the playlists we recommend to subscribe to is Classic Road Trip Songs created by Spotify themselves. It includes hits like “All Summer Long,” by Kid Rock, “Route 66” by Chuck Berry, and “Life is a Highway” by Tom Cochrane.
