TOP 10 SAFETY TIPS

1. Familiarize Yourself with the Vehicle: Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the rental car before driving off. Adjust mirrors, seats, and steering wheel to ensure comfort and proper visibility.
2. Inspect the Vehicle: Before leaving the rental lot, conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle for any existing damage. Note any scratches, dents, or other issues on the rental agreement to avoid being held responsible upon return.
3. Buckle Up: Always wear your seatbelt, and ensure that all passengers do the same. Seatbelts save lives and reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision.
4. Follow Traffic Laws: Obey all traffic laws and regulations, including speed limits, traffic signals, and road signs. Avoid distractions such as texting or using a phone while driving.
5. Maintain a Safe Following Distance: Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you to allow for adequate reaction time. The general rule is to maintain a distance of at least three seconds behind the vehicle ahead.
6. Use Turn Signals: Signal your intentions by using your turn signals well in advance of turning or changing lanes. This helps other drivers anticipate your actions and reduces the risk of accidents.
7. Be Mindful of Blind Spots: Check your blind spots by adjusting your mirrors and physically looking over your shoulder before changing lanes or making a turn.
8. Stay Alert and Rested: Avoid driving when you’re tired or drowsy. Take regular breaks during long drives to rest, stretch, and recharge.
9. Drive Defensively: Anticipate the actions of other drivers and be prepared to react accordingly. Defensive driving techniques can help you avoid accidents and stay safe on the road.
10. Know What to Do in Case of an Emergency: Familiarize yourself with the location of emergency equipment such as the spare tire, jack, and hazard triangles. Know how to safely pull over and contact roadside assistance or emergency services if needed.
