So you’ve got a vacation planned and you’re traveling with the kiddos. We know you love those little pride and joys, but they do take a lot of brain work in figuring out how vacation is going to work with car seats and snacks and all the things that come with traveling with a kid. Gone are the days of impulsive travel. Now, you’ve got to plan and account for any road bumps that may arise on your trip. But if you’re prepared, you can have just as much fun with your kids! Maybe even more! Their smiling faces and excitement during vacation will be remembered for years to come. But when you’re picking out a car rental when you have kids, it’s hard to know which is best. Should you stick with the economical choice? Or should you rent a larger SUV or van to fit everything in. Here we break down the pros and cons of each type of car rental option when traveling with kids. The economic choice. Economical is known for its affordability, which is great! But sometimes this doesn’t leave much room for luggage and car seats. If you’re traveling with just one baby or child, then this may be a good option for you to save on travel costs. But anyone who’s traveled with a child knows that space fills up quickly. Tiny humans have a lot of stuff, especially on vacation. So if you’re thinking of this route, think of the things you’ll need to bring and make sure the economic choice has enough room to accommodate your needs. The standard choice. A standard-size sedan or SUV may be a great fit if you’re traveling with up to two kids. These cars offer much more space for luggage and car seats and allow for more comfortability for you as parents as well. The downside could be its price. But if you book with Savannah Car Rentals, we’ll work with you to get a great deal on a standard SUV. Also, all of our cars are late-stage models and come with low mileage. So the standard option is a great choice when traveling with children. The luxurious choice. Everyone loves some luxury in their life! Buy luxury is expensive. Sometimes, this may be your only option if you’re traveling with 4 or more kids. You’ll need to invest in a bigger car to transport them, especially if you still have kiddos in car seats. Vans and large SUVs are a bit pricier, but they don’t have to be unattainable. When you rent with us, you’ll always have low mileage and late-stage vehicles. We also offer 15% off for veterans and active-duty military members, as well as 10% off for students, with a valid student ID. Whether you’re traveling with a kid or not, Savannah Car Rentals has an option for you!

No one wants to drive in bad weather. But unfortunately, it happens. In Georgia, we’re known for a crazy storm or two. Sometimes we even are subject to icy conditions that can leave the roads dangerous. But the reality is no matter where you’re driving, there’s always a chance you’ll run into some sort of severe weather. While no one wants it to happen, being prepared for it can help you get through those severe storms that seem to creep up on you when you’re stuck in traffic or on your way home from work. We’ve put together a list of tips for driving in severe weather. Whether you’re renting a car, or you’re making a long trip across the country, it’s better to be over-prepared for bad weather than not prepared at all! Here are ways you can stay ahead of the storm. Plan ahead. Always look at the forecast and radar to see if there are any storms predicted in the area you’re driving. If there are, considering postponing until the weather clears up. But if there is absolutely no way you can postpone, take necessary precautions depending on the type of storm that’s coming. Make sure you’ve got all working headlights and taillights on your car. Also, that your windshield wipers are in good condition and can handle heavy rain. You can also clean your headlights for clearer visibility. Keep an emergency kit in your car in case you run into any unexpected circumstances. A good flashlight. Jumper cables. An ice scraper. Blankets. These are just a few things to consider in an emergency kit for your car. It’s not a race. Even if you have to get somewhere very quickly, driving too fast in severe weather is a recipe for disaster. Whether it’s ice or heavy rain, take your time. It’s better to get to a destination in one piece than fast. It’s recommended that you reduce your speed by one-third on wet roads. Stay in the right lane, and don’t worry about the time. Just focus on getting there, however long it takes. Know your car and trust your instincts. If you’re renting a car and see that there’s a bad forecast ahead, do some research on the car. Drive it a little bit before the storm hits to get a feel for the car and get comfortable driving it. You can see how certain vehicles perform in bad weather by just doing some simple research. It’s probably best to leave a jeep without a hardcover in the garage when you’re driving through extreme weather. But you can be sure to understand how certain vehicles react in certain situations. — No one wants to prepare for driving in severe weather. The safest option is to always wait out the storm. But if you can’t, being prepared, knowing your instincts, and taking your time are three ways in which you can be a little bit safer driving in extreme weather situations.
