6 precautions to take with the car in summer 

1.Test your brakes  

If you travel in your car, don't forget that during the winter the brakes wear down a lot. So, before you hit the road, test your brakes. If you rent a car from Guerin, you already know that this is a worry you don't need to worry about.  

2.Check water levels  

In summer, we usually keep ourselves more hydrated. This applies to cars as well. Check the water levels frequently and always have a bottle of water in the car in case you need it.   


3.Check the air conditioning  

If you rent your car from Guerin, you don't need to worry about checking that the cold air is working properly. We will do this for you. If you travel in your car and find that the air is coming out only less warm, and not cold, make a visit to the workshop before you go on your adventure.

4.Watch where you park your car  

Try to park your car as close to the sea as possible. This way the breeze will give the car better ventilation and it won't heat up so much. Preferably park with the engine on the opposite side of the sea. Remember that wearing a sunshade makes all the difference.  


5.Limit your luggage  

Traveling with a car that is too full increases the risk of accidents, since it overloads the suspension. Besides being dangerous, it makes you consume more fuel than a car with less weight. Travel only with the essentials and distribute the weight as well as possible.  


6.Avoid sandy roads 

Sand paths are particularly dangerous, because if sand lodges in the engine, it can cause significant damage. So, whenever possible, leave the car farthest from the destination and do the rest of the route on foot or find a more interesting alternative. Take the opportunity to glimpse the road from another, closer and more attentive perspective.
