Some parts of the car are not as
easily visible as, for example, the lower part of the car or the chassis.
Therefore, even very small negligence is enough to cause severe consequences,
which can cost you dearly, because basic insurance sometimes does not cover
this part. And at the same time, everything happens instantly, and so that most
of the time, we are not even aware of it. So, let's check together what to pay
attention to avoid damage to the rented car's chassis.
# 1. Entering and exiting the driveway
Curbs and bumps are standard on
the approaches to both office and residential buildings. Indeed it has happened
to all of us at least once that when going out or entering the parking lot of a
building, we do not see the best of any curb or unevenness, so we slide a point
over it. This usually passes without consequences, but there are also
situations when we can do severe damage to the car at the moment, which is not
pleasant even when it comes to ours, let alone the rented car.
However, when you drive your car,
you are already used to its height, and you know approximately what could
happen since you know its height well. Therefore, when choosing a car you
intend to rent, you should pay attention to just that. If it is an SUV, you
will certainly not have this problem because they are pretty high. But, if it
is a lower sedan or sports model, and you are used to driving an SUV, check
before you take its height and do not forget what kind of car you rented because
that very moment of carelessness and forgetfulness can lead to severe damage,
which will cost you extra.
# 2. Concrete barriers in the parking lot
Another type of obstacle that you
may not be used to and are common is various concrete barriers in public
parking lots, say next to hotels and sports or shopping malls. When
approaching, pay attention to them and try not to park too close because you
can damage the chassis, scratch the bumper or attach the exhaust, which can
cost you extra. This should be especially careful with some smaller city cars.
And in addition to concrete
barriers, you can also come across lying police officers in large parking lots.
If you don't expect them and run into it at a slightly higher speed, it can
also have unwanted consequences, so when approaching parking spaces, slow down
and pay attention to these obstacles. Because, as we have already said, all
this is not pleasant even when it comes to yours, and especially the rented
vehicle of a rent a car agency such as United.
# 3. Different driving pads
Car rental agencies, in general,
prefer not to get off the official roads and do not want their vehicles to be
exposed to uneven surfaces such as dirt (summer) roads, sand, gravel, beaches,
etc. And you may, in certain circumstances, have to get off the road and drive
on uneven terrain, at least for a short time, to enter someone's yard or
something.
If you are already facing a
situation like this, be very careful and adjust your driving to the road
conditions. First of all, slow down, think about the height of the car you are
driving, and try not to go over the holes to reduce the risk of damage to the
car's chassis to a minimum.
# 4. Expect the unexpected
That's right, expect the
unexpected because sometimes we are forced to make decisions while driving. It
can happen that you have planned everything, but you did not know that the road
was closed somewhere, so you will have to continue driving with some side and
lower quality ones. When you find yourself in a situation like this, try to
drive slower and look a little further ahead to see all the potential dangers
in time.
Keep a slightly greater distance
from the car in front of you and follow the movement of traffic so that you can
notice any change due to driving conditions in time. Don't risk overcoming dangerous
obstacles. In such cases, you can only rely on your common sense, so be careful
and confident in your decisions.
# 5. Consider the terms of the lease
In addition to all the above
tips, you can find help in relieving stress due to possible unforeseen
circumstances and accidents in additional insurance. Therefore, study the
conditions of renting, what all the insurance covers, and what it does not
refer to. You need to know what you can count on in time so that there are no
unwanted consequences.
And for the end…
When you drive your car, you know
it is "in the soul." You know what you can expect from him, how tall
he is, how he behaves on terrain, etc. But when you choose the car you want to
rent, you usually choose it with your heart, so you take the one you don't usually
drive. Precisely for that reason, such unpleasant events happen that cost a lot
of money and even more nerves.
But, if you pay attention to
these few points, driving a rented car of your choice, in most cases, will pass
without any consequences. However, when renting, our advice is to rent a car at
least a little earlier, to get acquainted with its possibilities. And if you
have any more advice to add, share it with us in the comments. For all your
questions, the friendly staff of the United car rental agency is always there
for you.
