Car shopping is notoriously one of the least-enjoyable tasks of contemporary life.  Often, you give up half your weekend driving around town to check prices only to find yourself overwhelmed, or even worse, taken advantage of. But there are definite tricks and tips that can make car buying a little easier, and once such tip is to have test driven the vehicle you want before even heading to the dealership.  That’s where Savannah Car Rentals has got your back! Why Test Drive a Rental? When shopping for a new car, the test-drive is a great opportunity to get behind the wheel and really feel what it’s like to operate the vehicle.  The only problem is that the standard test-drive is too short. Renting the car you’d like to purchase, or renting a similar model, will allow you see how the vehicle fits into your entire life.  Can it fit everyone in the carpool comfortably? Does the stroller fit in the trunk? Is it easy to park at your favorite grocery store? A few days with your rental will give you the peace of mind that no other test-drive ever could. How to Select the Best Rental for Your Test Drive First, decide on the type of vehicle that best fits your needs.  Are you going for something spacious with plenty of leg room for a growing family? Do you prefer something compact and perfect for parking garages? Maybe you want to reduce your carbon footprint and try a hybrid! Consider your needs and then call us! Our friendly staff will love to help you choose from our wide selection. Next, you should choose a few days in your upcoming schedule that would allow you to test the vehicle while doing some of your essential tasks.  Is there a big meeting downtown that you’d like to arrive to in a new ride? Try out the city-miles capacity with your rental! Getting the family to a reunion? Pile everyone in and assess the comfort level for your favorite people.  Savannah Car Rentals has a large fleet of l Nissans to choose from at low daily rates starting at $24.99—so you can’t go wrong!

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. Savannah Car Rentals Has You Covered Winter car maintenance is an important practice, even in balmy Savannah. If your car is in the shop in preparation for the cold weather, Savannah Car Rentals has you covered. With locations in Savannah, Hinesville, and Statesboro, you can conveniently rent from our large fleet of low mileage, late model Nissans. Low daily rates start at $24.99, plus we offer a 10% discount for students and active duty military can waive the security deposit. You can even take advantage of an opportunity for an extended test drive of new model vehicles. Stay ahead of the game and practice effective winter car maintenance – call Savannah Car Rentals to keep you on the road!

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!

Some people on your list are just plain hard to shop for, like the guy who’s always out in the garage that seems to have everything already. If a watch, cufflinks, or a new golf club won’t do this year, maybe it’s time for the more creative approach.  It may be time to consider getting him what he really wants—a day behind the wheel of his dream car! Driving a rental car for a day or a weekend can take his holiday to the next level, giving him a gift more memorable and exciting than any he’s received before.   Not sure if gifting a rental is the right gift for your guy? This post will help you to consider your options for renting this holiday season.  Why Gift a Rental Car? If you’re sure he expects another tie this year, why not put a set of keys in his stocking instead? He’ll never expect a new car in the driveway, and even if it’s only for a day, it’s a surprise he’ll never forget! Try a luxury model or the perfect pick-up truck and give him a gift that proves you know him best. If he’s been shuffling around his old car, kicking the tires and tinkering at the engine, maybe a day in a new car will help him decide if he’s ready to take the plunge into a new vehicle.  Give him the gift of confidence this year by getting him a day in the car he’d most like to drive. But why stop at a day? Why not let him test-drive for the week? Then he can take advantage of those end-of-year deals knowing exactly what he wants! If he’s not exactly into gift exchanges, then maybe a day on the open road would better brighten his day.  Give him a few hours or a weekend road trip out in the newest model of his favorite ride and enjoy family time at the same time.  If you’ve been itching to get away, plan that road trip you’ve been talking about and rent a set of thrilling wheels for him to drive to and from your destination. Getting there should be half the fun and with a shiny new low mileage, late model rental, it can be.   Savannah Car Rentals Can Help You Give Him The Best Gift Yet If you’d like to rent a car as a gift for your special someone this year, call today and let us help you make your best selection!  Take advantage of the 10% student discount, or if you’re active duty military, we’ll waive the security deposit.

It’s almost November, which means the holiday season is fast approaching. You’ve probably already seen a plethora of holiday decorations in most major stores. If you’re ironing out your Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc. plans, don’t forget to factor in renting a car.  There are a number of reasons to rent a car during the holidays that can make your life both easier and more comfortable. This post should help you determine if renting a car will be the best and most convenient option for your holiday plans!  When to Rent  Renting a car not only gives you more room and freedom compared to using your personal vehicle but renting for special occasions can also help you save mileage, wear, and tear on your own car. And who doesn’t want their personal vehicle to last longer? Consider a few times when it’s ideal to rent a vehicle:    You’re driving out of town to visit family members: If you’re traveling out of town to visit family, whether they’re an hour away or four hours away, renting a car can help save mileage on your personal vehicle. It can also help alleviate the stress of getting routine maintenance done on your own car before you leave. Trust one of our cars to get you there safely and comfortably!  Extended family is coming to town and you plan to see the sights: Aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. coming to town? No doubt you want to show them the sights of our beautiful city. Renting a car large enough to comfortably seat all of your visitors will help you explore the Savannah area with less stress and no need to coordinate taking multiple cars across town.  You’re planning a holiday family vacation: If you’re planning on taking your immediate family on a road trip during the holidays, renting can save wear and tear on your own vehicle. Renting a larger vehicle than you’re used to can also make long drives across the state or across the country more comfortable.  Your in-laws are visiting: Visits from your in-laws can be stressful as it is. Renting a car can alleviate some of the stress that comes with their visit by providing them with a car they can use during their stay or give you and your family more room as you travel to and from group outings.    Savannah Car Rentals Can Help Make Your Holiday Travel Easy  If you’re interested in booking a rental for any time during the holiday season, don’t delay. Book a comfortable, affordable car with us before they’re gone! Pick up at any one of our locations in Hinesville, Statesboro, or Savannah, and choose any size of low mileage, late model Nissan in our fleet. Students can take off 10% and active duty military can waive the security deposit.  The holidays are stressful enough as it is. Renting can alleviate the stress of family visits and holiday travel. Treat yourself and your family with a rental from Savannah Car Rentals!
