We also work with insurance companies to ensure you’re reimbursed if a rental vehicle is covered by your policy in the event you need a rental while your car is in the shop.   5) Low Mileage, Late Model Vehicles   Who wants to drive around in a high-mileage rental that isn’t much better than your own vehicle (or worse?)? We don’t, and we know you probably don’t either. That’s why we only rent low mileage, late model Nissans. We have an impressive fleet of vehicles that are factory fresh and ready for you.

Despite the pandemic continuing to affect many parts of our daily lives, life goes on even if it’s different than it used to be. Students are back on campus in many areas, and that means many may be wondering how to go home for weekends or breaks safely.   We’ve compiled a brief list of suggestions on how to travel to and from school safely, even during COVID-19. These tips apply whether you’re traveling now or plan to be in the future as schools determine how to navigate the coming months. Read on for our specific tips!   Streamline Your Travel Plans   One key factor in traveling safe during COVID-19 is to plan well and streamline your travel plans. This means try to avoid spending too much time in crowded areas and plan to move in and out of crowded areas quickly. This may mean trying to book a non-stop flight instead of having a layover, or opting to travel through less populated areas instead of major cities.   You can also streamline your travel plans by planning ahead and knowing exactly where you’re going to stop. Do some research ahead of time if you’re driving to or from school to know which rest areas are following social distancing guidelines closely and which ones may not be.   Travel and Pack Smart   If you have to travel or desire to during the COVID-19 crisis, travel and pack smart. Packing smart means bringing everything you need to help you avoid potential exposure. If you have to stay in a hotel, disinfecting wipes will help you clean common surfaces in the hotel just in case housekeeping missed one or two.   You can also pack your own sheets and pillowcases to avoid using items in common with others who stayed in the hotel before you. Bringing snacks and bottled water may also help you skip a few stops along your drive that will help reduce your interaction with others and maintain social distance.   Take Recommended Precautions   And of course, take the common and recommended safety precautions. This includes wearing a mask when you can’t safely social distance at least six feet from other people. Avoid crowded areas and eat outside when possible.   You will also want to make sure you’re washing your hands before you eat and frequently throughout the day. Avoid touching your face and be sure to disinfect common surfaces frequently, too.   Rent with Savannah Car Rentals   If you’re planning to drive to or from your school for weekends, break, or at the end of the semester, rent with Savannah Car Rentals. We’re taking all necessary and recommended precautions to disinfect our vehicles and office spaces. We also follow local masking policies and guidelines. We offer a 10% student discount on our fleet of low mileage, late model Nissans of all sizes and models. Book with us and rent from our Savannah, Hinesville, or Statesboro locations. It’s possible to travel safely during the pandemic, and we can help!

With everything that has happened in 2020, it’s unsurprising that many people want to go on a trip to clear the mind, reset, and get away from it all. But this is made a little more complicated by continued COVID-19 concerns and precautions.  There are still ways to safely move about while following local public health guidelines, social distancing, and staying healthy. Savannah Car Rentals is, for example, taking all necessary precautions to disinfect and social distance to keep our staff and customers safe.  Renting for Your Weekend Getaway  Why rent a car for your weekend getaway? The simplest answer is that it saves wear, tear, and mileage on your personal vehicle. If you have a large group, renting a larger vehicle will also give you more space — which will be a welcome change for any road trip.  If you’re looking for a few ideas for where to take your fall getaway, read on for information on some of our region’s favorite locations!  For the hiker… We always like to recommend Cloudland Canyon State Park for its impressive gorge views and hiking trails. There are also camping opportunities in tents and cabins if you’re feeling adventurous.  For the city dweller… If you prefer to visit a city on your vacation, opt for a weekend in Atlanta or Jacksonville, FL. Both cities offer lots of activities — even social distanced ones — within just a few hours’ drive from the Savannah area.  For the beach-lover… There are plenty of beaches to choose from in the Savannah area, as well as the southeast in general. If you prefer to stay in Savannah, Tybee Island is a great place to start. If you’re looking for a longer trip south, consider St. Augustine, FL or any one of Florida’s great eastern seaboard beaches.  For the roadtripper … A great road trip idea is to venture several hours north to Charleston, SC. There are plenty of historic locations to visit in this area, and the beaches and charming downtown areas are hard to beat.  For the mountain man (or woman)…  Consider a road trip to Stone Mountain. There are plenty of hiking and camping options, as well as impressive views from the top. Seasonally there are also historic learning opportunities to benefit from. Of course, check the status of any tourist location beforehand to ensure it is operating due to COVID-19.  Savannah Car Rentals can get you there!  Wherever you decide to adventure to this fall, Savannah Car Rentals can get you there! We’re a locally owned and operated car rental company with offices in Savannah, Hinesville, and Statesboro.  We offer a fleet of low mileage, late model Nissans of various sizes to accommodate your needs, whether you’re traveling with one other person or a family of five or six.

There are few things more appreciated and cherished during the hot summer months as your car’s air conditioner. So it’s especially inconvenient and uncomfortable when your vehicle’s A/C decides to malfunction or quit altogether. Regular maintenance is key, and Savannah Car Rentals is the ideal solution to keeping your busy schedule moving forward — even when your car needs to spend a day in the shop.  There are certain habits and routine maintenance practices that will help you keep your vehicle’s air conditioner in top shape, ready to keep you cool on the hottest of southern summer days. Savannah Car Rentals offers a variety of low mileage, late model Nissans for rent when your vehicle’s air conditioner needs a tune up.  Read on to learn more!  How Your Car’s Air Conditioner Works  First, it’s helpful to quickly go over just how your vehicle’s A/C works. You may not think much about this until your only option to stay cool is to roll down a window… which may or may not help bring the temperature down inside the car!  In short, your vehicle’s air conditioner works like most other air conditioners. It doesn’t “create” air that is cold. Rather, it removes heat and moisture from air already within the car. This has the effect of making the air cooler. Several parts of the car are involved, including coolant and a radiator. A radiator is what sends warm air outside of the car. Coolant mixes with water to keep the radiator and engine from overheating. Without coolant, you risk not only air conditioner problems, but also your engine itself overheating.  Good Habits for A/C Health  Good habits as a car owner are essential to making sure your air conditioner is running well. If you haven’t had the best habits in the past, Savannah Car Rentals has rental locations in Savannah, Hinesville, and Statesboro where you can rent a vehicle while yours is in the shop.  To keep your vehicle’s air conditioner running strong, professionals recommend turning off your air conditioner before getting out of the car, as well as using your A/C regularly. Both of these steps protect the health of your A/C system and will make it last for the long term.  For Your Next Trip to the Auto Repair Shop…  Regular maintenance is key to keeping your air conditioner running strong and cool all summer long. When your car needs to visit the repair shop, Savannah Car Rentals offers rentals at rates as low as $24.99 per day. Specifically, your car may need a radiator flush or coolant replacement to keep it functioning properly.  Savannah Car Rentals Can Help!  The next time your personal vehicle needs a tune up, rent with Savannah Car Rentals in Savannah, Hinesville, or Statesboro. We offer student discounts of 10% and active duty military members can waive the security deposit. Rent with us and keep your personal vehicle in mint condition!

Summer is here, and it looks like social distancing guidelines are going to be with us for quite a while longer, too. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have an enjoyable and memorable summer. Provided you take the necessary safety precautions and abide by local and state travel policies, there are still several summer road trips you can take from Savannah that will allow you to enjoy the summer months while easily staying away from large crowds.  Below are a few suggestions when it comes to traveling safely this summer. Keep in mind that you may want to check locations ahead of time to learn about reduced hours or staffing, and COVID-19 related closures.  Road Trips in the Age of COVID-19 Public health officials are advising us to continue wearing masks, practicing good hygiene, avoiding going out when we feel sick, and being mindful of those with compromised immune systems. Abiding by these policies is the best way to stay safe and healthy.  That said, if you still want to get away for a few hours or a whole day this summer, there are locations near Savannah that make it easy to enjoy nature and the outdoors safely and while still maintaining social distancing. What to Pack for your Social Distancing Road Trip  First, though, you shouldn’t leave the house the same way you did before the coronavirus. Consider bringing a few other essentials along to make for a safer trip, such as:  Masks for your whole family  Hand sanitizer  Disinfecting wipes  A change of clothes Gloves, if desired  Road Trip Ideas  There is no shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy in and around Savannah, and even within a few hours’ drive.    A day at the beach: There are plenty of beaches to explore near Savannah! Our own local Tybee Island is a favorite with its lighthouse and small town charm, or you could venture north to nearby Hilton Head Island. And if you opt to go south, there are plenty of beaches along the Georgia coast and the north Florida coast, like Fernandina Beach and St. Augustine Beach.  Hiking: You don’t have to look hard to find great hiking spots in our area. Some of our favorites include Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge, the Wormsloe Historic Site, and the Sea Pines Forest Preserve.  A drive along the coast: If you want to avoid other people as much as possible, it can be enjoyable just taking a drive along the coastline. We recommend checking out some of the small coastal towns near Savannah, like Tybee Island, but also state parks along the coast like Hunting Island.    Savannah Car Rentals can get you there!  If you’re looking to spend a few hours or a day in the beauty of nature near Savannah, Savannah Car Rentals can get you there safely and comfortably! Rent with us at daily rates as low as $24.99. We offer student and military discounts from our locations in Savannah, Hinesville, and Statesboro. Our low mileage, late model Nissans are meticulously cleaned in between each rental and our office staff are taking precautions to protect against the spread of the virus.

We’re living in unprecedented times with the coronavirus upending almost every aspect of daily life. We’ve made disinfecting common surfaces a regular habit and we’ve been washing our hands religiously.  Most of the country is under some form of a stay-at-home order, but it’s inevitable that we’ll have to venture out of our homes to get essentials, meaning that we may come into contact with COVID-19 and bring it back to our vehicles. So here are a few tips on how to disinfect the interior of your car and stay safe and healthy, without damaging your vehicle’s interior surfaces.  Your Car & Germs  Think of all the frequently touched spaces in your car: door handles, steering wheel, gear shift, buttons, screens, armrests… There are so many places where germs can hide out. It’s helpful to keep disinfecting hand wipes or hand sanitizer in your vehicle so you can disinfect your hands as soon as you return to your vehicle. But you’ll also want to make cleaning the interior surfaces themselves a priority.  Cleaning Without Damaging  But how can you ensure your vehicle is sanitized without damaging the surfaces? Some household cleaners may not be friendly to fabrics and leathers, but most are. You can use most household cleaners that are at least 70% alcohol to kill the coronavirus on surfaces in your vehicle. Specifically, isopropyl alcohol will work and is gentle enough on surfaces to avoid damage or blemishes.  Gentle soap and water with a little scrubbing can also sanitize and clean your vehicle without fear of damage, but don’t scrub too harshly. Leather should also be conditioned regularly to maintain its appearance and to reduce wear and tear.  What Not to Use  There are a few solutions that you should avoid at all costs when cleaning the interior of your car. Specifically, do NOT use bleach or any cleaner containing hydrogen peroxide. These solutions will inevitably stain and severely damage leather, carpet, and fabric materials. They’ll also damage touch screens beyond repair as will ammonia solutions. If you use these solutions, the surfaces will be clean, but they’ll be severely damaged. So check the ingredients of your cleaners first.  Where to Clean  Wondering where exactly to clean and disinfect inside your vehicle? Here are a few suggestions:  Door handles (interior and exterior)  Cupholders  Armrests, front and back seat Window and seat controls  Steering wheel  Turn signal and headlight controls  Touch screens and other dashboard buttons  Seatbelts (including latches and any areas your hands may touch) Savannah Car Rentals is Here For You We understand these are trying times for everyone. It’s important to do what you can to say safe, sanitized, and healthy in the midst of this pandemic. At Savannah Car Rentals, we’re here for you if you need to make an essential trip or travel to care for a family member. Or, if you face car trouble, we can put you in an affordable rental at daily rates as low as $24.99. Find us in Savannah, Hinesville, or Statesboro and let us know how we can serve you.

When you’re stuck at home due to weather, family responsibilities, or in this month’s case — social distancing — you can quickly feel like you’ve run out of things to do. But don’t get bored yet — when was the last time you gave your vehicle a thorough cleaning?    Cleaning your car is not only an easy job to do when you’re stuck at home, but it’s also an essential part of being a responsible car owner! And don’t lie to yourself and say you aren’t just a little bit happy to climb into a fresh, clean car when you’re finished.    5 Steps to a Cleaner Car    Here are a few quick, easy tips to help you get your car in like-new condition!    Grab a trash bag. First, get rid of all the trash in your car before you begin cleaning. You probably collect a variety of fast food drink cups, wrappers, and discarded mail collecting in your door frame, cup holders, and empty seats. Collect it all and throw it away so you can deep clean the rest of the car.  Vacuum floors and underneath seats. You’ll be surprised (and maybe a little grossed out?) but some of the stuff that collects on your car floor and underneath the seats. Old food, wrappers, loose change… you’ll find it all. Start with this because it’s typically the most time-consuming job.  Wash and scrub floor mats. If you have rubber floor mats, remove these, and then wash and scrub them with water and a light dish detergent. These mats collect all the dirt, dust, mud, snow, etc. from the outdoors, so they’ll probably need special attention.  Wipe down dashboard and interior surfaces. The interior of your vehicle has a tendency to gather quite a bit of dust and grime from day to day use. Using a cleaner or just a damp rag, wipe down the surfaces including the dashboard, controls, steering wheel, and insides of doors.  Don’t forget the windows. Whether or not you have kids, the insides of windows can get covered in fingerprints. Even if you don’t plan to wash the exterior of your car for a while, using a glass cleaner, clean the insides of your windows. This will really clear up your view from the inside!   If You’re Feeling Ambitious…  If you’re feeling really motivated, clean the exterior of your car, too! This may be hard to do if you live somewhere where you’re unable to hook up an outdoor hose due to cold temperatures. However, if you have access to a hose, some soapy water (gentle soap works well) and some clean, dry rags will help you get this job done quickly.    For a Fresh, Clean Rental, Rent with SCR  If you’re not up to cleaning your own car but need a fresh, clean vehicle for visitors, family, or business, rent with Savannah Car Rentals! You’ll get great daily rates starting as low as $24.99 from our Hinesville, Statesboro, or Savannah locations. You won’t have to worry about dust or grime in one of our factory fresh Nissans. Rent with us by booking on our site or give us a call!

It’s almost that time of year again… time for planning Spring Break road trips to break up the monotony that is the first few months of the new year! Don’t just start out on a driving trip without having some planning in place to ensure your comfort, safety, and economic success. Having a plan will give your trip structure and give you the peace of mind knowing that your travel days will be well-thought out and more relaxing than stressful!  Whether you’re planning to venture to the beach, the mountains, or to see family and friends, a little planning can go a long way to making your Spring Break road trip a success.  Map Your Route  This should be obvious, but it’s important to know exactly where you’re going and how to get there. Don’t wait until the morning you plan to leave to plug your final destination into your GPS. Do a little research to see if there are any major road closures or road work that will slow you down, or if you’ll need to take any detours along the way. This is also a great time to check out your route and determine if there are any interesting sights you want to see en route, like historical markers or restaurants.  Rent or Drive Your Own Vehicle?  A big question when it comes to road trips is whether you should rent a vehicle for the trip or drive your own. While you may feel more comfortable in your own personal vehicle, renting offers many benefits for both you and your car. You won’t put heavy mileage on your personal vehicle if you rent. High mileage means your car will need maintenance more often! Further, you may be more comfortable on long hauls if you rent a larger vehicle than you’re accustomed to for your trip. Savannah Car Rentals offers a wide selection of low mileage, late model Nissans for you to choose from, with daily rates starting at $24.99. We also offer generous discounts for students and veterans. Pack Plenty of Snacks  Don’t forget to pack snacks! Driving can get boring, so you’ll inevitably feel hungry. Plus, avoiding hunger can help you stay focused on the road, which is essential for a safe driving trip. Packing your own snacks will help you save money because you won’t need to run into a service station at every stop to buy food.  Stay Safe  Plan ahead to stay safe on your driving trip. This may require researching where you plan to drive and stay to ensure the area is safe and taking precautions if there are concerns. Make sure it’s a habit to lock your vehicle when you aren’t in it. And, of course, plan for any safety gear you’ll need in your car ahead of time, like car seats or important medications.  Get On the Road with SCR!  A little forethought can help you ensure your spring trip is a relaxing, enjoyable adventure, not a headache that will make you wish you were home. Visit our locations in Savannah, Hinesville, or Statesboro to get on the road to your spring adventure!
