English4 Essential Things to Do Before Driving Your Rental Car
Want to make sure your journey starts smoothly and safely? Follow these four simple steps before hitting the road with your rental car!
Before you start driving, connect your phone via Bluetooth (if the car supports it). This allows you to make hands-free calls, use GPS, or play your favorite music safely. Also, adjust the radio settings in advance so you’re not distracted while driving — and to avoid fines.
Even though the car is rented, for the duration of your trip, it’s your car. Make sure to adjust:
Side and rearview mirrors
Driver’s seat height and position
Proper adjustments ensure maximum visibility, driving comfort, and reduce the risk of accidents.
If you’re in a new city, route planning is key. Use Google Maps or Waze, and place your phone/GPS low on the windshield so it doesn’t block your view. If you're unsure about mobile data or signal, pack a backup GPS or printed map.
Rental cars often handle differently from your own. Take a short test drive in a quiet area with the radio off. Get a feel for:
Braking response
Acceleration
Vehicle size and blind spots
Understanding how the car drives helps build spatial awareness, essential before getting onto highways or busy streets.
