Excited for that much awaited and well deserved vacation with your loved ones? You're all geared up for that trip, including the food, itinerary and accommodation. To ensure comfort during travel, transportation has likewise been planned for already by renting a vehicle. But more importantly, so as to ensure that you have uninterrupted fun and enjoyment while on the road, it's best to be equipped with these safety travel reminders.
Availing the services of a car renting firm involves choosing a car from a roster of vehicles for rent. In this phase, make a wise choice by considering what type of vehicle you're most comfortable with, including the size, the kind of transmission it features and the number of people it can accommodate.
If you're used to driving a vehicle with a stick shift, it follows that you should get the one with a manual transmission (M/T). If, on the other hand, you think that you're most at ease with an automatic type of transmission (A/T), then go for an A/T type.
The sedan type is a good choice if there are only up to 4 passengers and if it's just a short trip with just a few things to bring. But for a week-long vacation, consider leasing a van or a multi-purpose vehicle so that all of your belongings can fit with no trouble at all. Before leaving the car rental premises, always remember to first put all of your things in the trunk.
If you're traveling with small children or an infant, make sure to bring with you a child booster seat or an infant car seat to ensure the child's safety while on the road. If this is not possible, notify the car rental firm ahead of time and request for one. Some firms would normally not charge additional fees for a child car seat, but be ready with a little amount of money just in case you get billed for this.
Traveling with happy and content kids is truly a blessing, so keep them very well entertained especially for lengthy trips. To keep them busy, bring along with you their favorite books, play things, art supplies and movie videos and stash them in an easy to carry bag.
