Winter in Savannah may not exude the warmth and sunshine of summer, but unlike its northern neighbors, the southeast is typically free from major snowstorms or icing events. That said, car maintenance in winter is still important, and preparation is the key to keeping your automobile running smoothly and efficiently. Though winter doesn’t last long in Georgia, it’s important to keep your vehicle in great shape to avoid damage and to maintain its reliability all year long. Fortunately, practicing effective winter car maintenance is easy – with the help of Savannah Car Rentals, you won’t miss a minute on the road! Monitor Your Tire Pressure Colder temperatures oftentimes mean lower tire pressure – it’s a telltale sign that winter is coming when that warning light illuminates on your dash! As temperatures approach freezing, the air in your tires (and everywhere else) becomes denser. As those molecules join together, your tire pressure decreases. Not only is prolonged low tire pressure bad for your tires in general and causes long term damage, but it greatly reduces their effectiveness. Be sure and check your tire pressures whenever you see that warning light, and add (or remove) air as needed.  Check (and refill) your Anti-Freeze Believe it or not, car engines utilize water and other liquids to function properly – you can imagine what happens to that water when temperatures dip below freezing. Anti-freeze is an additive used to stave off freezing, allowing your car to function properly and start easier in the winter months. If ice builds up in your system, your car won’t run until it’s thawed, and you’re at risk for serious damage to your engine. Make sure your engine has enough anti-freeze before the temperatures drop, and add an appropriate amount if it’s low.  Get an Oil Change  During colder months, the oil in your car can condense to a point where it’s no longer able to allow the moving parts of your engine the ability to move freely. This can cause poor performance as well as damage. It’s recommended that you select an oil with a lower viscosity, or thickness, in preparation for the cold weather to avoid damage and car trouble. Your car should receive an oil change roughly four times a year, so just before winter is the perfect time to get it done.

Buying a new car is no small feat. You’re putting your hard-earned money towards something that you’ll use every day, but something that will also almost immediately begin to decrease in value. It is absolutely essential to make the most educated decision possible when deciding which car to purchase!  Savannah Car Rentals can be a part of that decision-making process. We invite you to book an extended test drive to get a feel for the newest Nissans on the market as you decide which will be the best next personal vehicle for you and your family!  Why book an extended test drive?  Savannah Car Rentals doesn’t just rent cars for road trips and business trips, family visits and car maintenance. Rent one of our low mileage, late model Nissan’s and get closely acquainted with the newest and best on the market before committing to purchase!  Buying a new vehicle is daunting enough. You can learn a lot about the newest vehicles on the market by reading reviews online and test driving, but it’s hard to make an educated purchase when you’ve only driven a car for a few minutes around a lot.  There are a few key reasons to make an extended test drive part of your initial research before you commit to purchasing a new vehicle. Consider these when considering what vehicle you’ll add to your fleet in 2020…    Become more familiar with the cars you’re considering. It’s stressful to think that a decision that will cost you an upwards of $20,000 or more is made on a drive around a dealership that likely lasts no more than 20 minutes. An extended test drive of several days or even a week or two will give you more time to become familiar with the car you’re considering. Spend more time with the vehicle and become more well-versed in its features, how it drives, and safety aspects. This will help you make a better decision in the long run.      Learn what you like and don’t like. On a simpler level, an extended test drive will help you have more time to determine what you like and don’t like. Inevitably, when you buy a new car, a few weeks after the papers are signed and the sale is final, you realize there are a few features or qualities about the car that you don’t like or, at worst, can’t stand. Spending more time in the car before you sign on the dotted line will help you walk into the deal with a better idea of what to expect once you take your new vehicle home.      Test out features to decide if you want them in your personal vehicle. New vehicles come with so many features, sometimes it’s hard to determine which ones are essential and which ones are just extra. An extended test drive can help you decide if you really need heated seats or a rear-view camera, or if these are a bit superfluous.    Savannah Car Rentals Can Help!  Savannah Car Rentals is THE place to be if you’re looking for an extended test drive. Rent one of our factory fresh, low mileage, late model Nissans from Savannah, Hinesville, or Statesboro. Students can take 10% off and active duty military can waive the security deposit. Get educated before your next big car purchase at Savannah Car Rentals!
