Tips for Properly Taking Care of a Rental Car
When renting a car, it is important not only to choose a reliable service provider but also to follow traffic rules and ensure the vehicle’s safety. Below are some essential tips to help you avoid extra costs and ensure a safe journey.
1. Protect the Bumpers
When traveling with suitcases or other items, there is a risk of damaging the car. By protecting the bumpers, especially when loading luggage, you can avoid unnecessary scratches or dents. Similarly, be cautious around branches that may scratch the car’s exterior.
2. Follow Traffic Rules and Drive Safely
Safe driving ensures not only your safety but also that of other road users. Lithuania has many radar detectors and instant speed cameras, so stay alert and follow speed limits. “Admita” may apply fees for speeding violations, so it is always better to adhere to safe driving practices and traffic laws. Your safety is our priority!
3. Information on Border Crossing and Driving Areas
Before traveling to another country, make sure that your rental car is allowed to be driven abroad. “Admita” applies additional fees for traveling outside the country or crossing borders. Be sure to consult with us about the applicable rules and extra charges.
4. Do Not Attach GPS Equipment to LCD Screens
Even if you are used to using GPS devices, avoid attaching them directly to the car’s LCD screens or dashboard glass. This may damage the screen, and additional repair costs may arise if the equipment harms the car’s interior. Always follow the recommended guidelines for device usage.
5. What to Do in Case of an Accident
If an accident occurs or you damage the vehicle, first complete an accident report or notify the police. Submit all documents, including the police report, to the company. You may also provide an additional explanation via email or in paper format. Keep in mind that insurance coverage will not be valid if you fail to provide the necessary documents.
6. Use the Correct Fuel
Before refueling, ensure you are using the correct type of fuel as specified in the rental agreement, on the key tag, or on the fuel cap. Using the wrong fuel can cause serious issues, and additional charges may apply if incorrect fuel is used.
