How to Keep your Rental Car Safe in Summer
Just the thought of summer
evokes a response in individuals that run the gamut of emotions from sheer
ecstasy to fear in the Middle East desert. There’s a Middle Eastern idiom that
talks about the three seasons in the country: hot, hotter, and hell. The rise in
temperature can cause trouble not just to you but, also to your luxury rental car. That being said, you should spare a
moment for your rental car as well. While you have the liberty to get
comfortable in your AC room, your poor car outside roasts under the intense
rays. So, let’s dive in to understand the various ways to maintain your
rental car during this hot season.
Keep the Odor at
Bay
The unbearable heat causes the seats to release certain odors. You
can prevent this by deodorizing your car. No, we don’t mean an antiperspirant
spray. We’re talking about dryer sheets which you should tape to your AC, that
release a fresh scent when kept on high.
Monitor the Tyre
Pressure
With all the hits on uneven surfaces, and driving in difficult
road conditions, your car most certainly deserve a good in-between car tyre
check-up. The temperature outside also affects the pressure in them. Before you
hit the roads for your long drive, it is important to check the pressure of
every tyre, including the spare one.
Clean Your Car
While the views and sound of the sun setting against the blissful
pink-blue sky sound appealing, it can also be a threat to your windshield,
especially when it's dirty. The haze can also scatter the light from the inside
and make it hard to see. Give your car a good wash for a sharper view when
driving. In addition, it protects the paint from the rays of the sun and any
damage caused by birds.
Keep the Interiors
Cool
We all resonate with the feeling that that comes when entering
your car during summer – where you feel like you’ve walked into an oven bare
clothes. Well, we sure understand this feeling, and so have come up with an
easy hack to solve it. Before you enter your car, slightly lower one window,
and immediately set the door on the other side. It not only helps in releasing
the air out but also brings the temperature in line with the surrounding. This
is why you should have studied science in school!
Cover the Seats
Do you also feel the sensation of sitting on the sizzling hot
seats of your cars? If the answer is in the affirmative, we have a solution for
that as well. Place a blanket on them before leaving, as it’ll prevent them
from burning. It can further be placed below your elbow, for better driving.
