So, you deciced to rent a car to explore the beautiful island of Paros but you are concerned of possible pitfalls. Worry no more! While you plan your trip, we will give you some advice on what to look out for when you are going to rent a car.
First things first.
Well begun is half done
We both know very well that you are very excited about your arriving in the island, ready to begin your vacations. However, before you get to it, take a couple of minutes to inspect the car you just rented. Look out for any scratches, dimples and generally damages to the car. If you so desire you can take photos of the car. This way you can avoid any disputes and misunderstandings when you return the car.
Ask questions. Do not hesitate
No car is the same, we all know that. So, if the car you rented is different than the one you are used to, do not hesitate asking how to use the reverse (if it’s a car with manual transmission), how to turn on the air condition or how to open the boot.
Drive carefully
Driving in an island there’s high chance you will be driving on dirt, unpaved roads. Consequently, your ride will be bumpy and you might get stuck. If you do, the best thing to do is to call the car rental company and not try to move it yourself because you might damage it.
Car insurance
As with your own car there are different tiers of car insurance the same goes with a rented one. Be informed about the car insurance tier so to be ready for anything. Don’t get caught by suprise. Sixty Car offers the best possible car insurance depending on what you want. Just ask!
What you need to be careful of is for all your details to be filled in know all about the provisions of the insurance. Don’t forget to read between the lines and take a copy of relevant documents.
Be punctual
Sadly it’s time to head back home. So make sure you have packed everything and be on time to return the car. This way you will avoid any extra charges. Don’t forget to ask the car rental staff to inspect the car in your presence and assert that everything looks fine.
We hope you’ll enjoy your next vacations! Farewell.
