Keep These in Your Rental Car at All Times
It’s always good to have everything in your car in order. As
such, you are assured of being covered at all times, especially when your
vehicle has a breakdown. Give this article a read, as we aim at helping our
readers in times of emergencies. We’ve covered a list of items that you should
have in your monthly rental car at all times.
Emergency Food
We’re talking about non-perishable foods such as muesli, granola
bars, energy snacks, or even dried fruits. Emergency food is a must, especially
if you have diabetes or are traveling off the beaten path. That way, you are
always prepared for hunger pangs or a low insulin level.
Water Bottle Pack
A pack of water bottles is something we’d highly recommend keeping
in your rental car. As such, it can save the day if you’re feeling dehydrated
and have no amenity store nearby. However, you must see to it that the bottles
are sturdy and can withstand extreme temperatures.
Comfortable
Walking Shoes
This tip is mostly for the women who are in their heels almost
every day and drive in their stilettos. If you’ve got an old pair that you plan
on throwing away, we suggest keeping it in your rental car to use during an
emergency, or if you have to hike somewhere.
Car Phone Charger
Keep a car phone charger with you at all times and watch how this
decision changes your entire driving experience. It’s especially useful for
tourists in the city who cruise around in their rental car. A fully charged
phone means you always arrive at your destination on time and can continuously
use the GPS. Additionally, it allows you to make emergency calls when required.
Tissues/Paper
Towels
For instant cleanup, it’s always good to have a pack of tissues
and paper towels in your rental car. You can clear the windshield, grease, or
any spillage in the vehicle. It also helps in keeping you clean, especially if
you are munching while driving.
Reusable Tote Bags
While spontaneous grocery plans seem to be the apparent reason for
this, tote bags have various other purposes as well. It could be to carry heavy
items or to store equipment in it safely.
Plastic Bags
Though tote bags are ideal for transporting your items, you surely
wouldn’t want your fellow passenger to throw up in your tote bag. They also
serve as a useful purpose for cleaning out unwanted items in your car.
Additionally, if you have muddy shoes with you, the best way to keep them is by
storing them in a plastic bag.
