Question: What sort of maintenance is required for a road trip?

My car has 145K miles on it. I am planning to do a road trip spanning about 10 days around mid-December. I will drive about 350 miles daily. I have not had any problems with my car so far.

I have done regular oil changes on my car. However, I want to know what should I get checked before doing the trip as I don't want it to fail.

Of course, I do not want to be ripped off and that is why I wanted to ask this question to get a better idea of what is required.
