<Experience Peace with These Simple Hacks for Rental Car Safety >
Relax. Driving a rental car should not cause too many worries. You can own the ride!
If you live in the uptown part of your country, you’ll understand how adventurous it is when you try to avoid rubbing your car hard against impatient buses or escape unsafe routes.
Should we talk about those times when you accelerate your gear because you want to beat traffic ─ you don’t want to keep your gang waiting?
Getting flagged down or ticketed for over-speeding isn’t a beautiful experience either.
Well, maybe if you knew a few rental car safety precautions, you’d be living your wildest imagination, driving with peace of mind in your dream car.
Consider the following rental car safety precautions as a guide for your next ride experience:
- Engage your eagle eyes
Eagles have been proven to have the best vision. No matter the distraction, they always maintain focus on their prey.
We understand the excitement that comes with renting a new car. Oh! It’s your dream car, by the way, and you can’t wait to hop in and cruise into town with your gang.
We’ll get back to the chills and thrills later.
For now, pay very keen attention to all the terms and conditions of the rental agreement. Never miss vital information like the rental duration, mileage restrictions, status of the fuel tank, and any other relevant information like the insurance coverage.
Are there areas that you need clarification? Do not hesitate to ask. Our heart-warming customer service team are always ready to support you.
- Check and double check
You’ve gone through the agreement and asked the necessary questions, so what’s next?
Be patient enough to check out for basic car safety features like airbags, shatter-resistant glass, seatbelts, stability control, anti-lock brakes, lights, mirrors, sensors, bumpers, etc.
Don’t forget to check if the car’s horn is still functioning and loud enough to ward off trespassing drivers and passengers. That one is very important too.
But with a rental car from Treepz, we exceed your expectations.
- Stick to familiar routes
There’s a new ride and the temptation of visiting all the nook and cranny of town is high; don’t fall for it.
Stick to the original trip plan or ask Treepz’s Google navigation support for guidance if you miss your way.
Additionally, do not embark on a night trip if you’re not very familiar with a place.
- Secure the best parking space
Avoid incessant stops. Do you need to grab a quick bite at KFCC? Get into their parking lot, park nicely and stroll majestically into the building. Now, that’s class!
Driving Treepz rental cars comes with class and style. Follow the trend. Maintain the pattern.
Also, always be on the lookout for visible parking spaces and garages with security measures, if possible. And if you still are not satisfied, it’s okay to turn on the security car alarm.
Before leaving your car, ensure that all doors and windows are locked. Your belongings are important as well.
- Every other thing in between
Have you heard of the term ‘defensive driving technique’?
Once you’ve gotten behind those driving wheels, and turned on the ignition, all focus should be on the road.
The time when you navigate through your journey by turning the steering from left to right shouldn’t be multitasked with other activities.
It is time for serious business.
These days, we have a few people trying to do so many things at the same time while driving.
Defensive driving techniques are the practices that you, as a driver need to mitigate road accidents or any other form of danger. Below are a few defensive driving techniques that you should know.
- Do not engage in other activities like texting, making phone calls, eating or watching your screen. It’s one thing at a time.
- It’s okay to postpone your trip if you feel tired, upset or emotionally unstable. Your mental state of mind comes first.
- Use your indicators. Be quick enough to signal other road users about your next action.
- Stay at least four square metres away from other drivers and avoid switching lanes unnecessarily.
- Minimize your intake of alcohol and other substances that put you in a high mood. Keep it calm before hitting the road.
- You might also want to pay attention to strict weather conditions. A weather forecast is helpful in this regard.
- Finally, obey traffic rules.
In conclusion,
While you make those trip plans, always remember to include your safety precautions on the list.
Adhering to safety precaution tips is not particular to rental cars alone. Safety precautions ensure you a smooth driving anytime you decide to take the wheels.
