Your car is a major investment — so taking good care of it is essential if you want to stay out of the auto body shop and keep it running well for as long as possible. Routine maintenance is a must if you want to keep your car in top shape. Even though it may cost you a bit upfront in time and money to do routine maintenance, it’s worth it in the long run because it can help you avoid more costly repairs down the road. Pay Attention to Mileage & Manufacturer Every vehicles’ owner’s manual will have recommended routine maintenance. It’s up to you to monitor your vehicle’s mileage to make sure it gets the work and attention it needs at regular intervals. Keep tabs on mileage in between service appointments to know when your car will need more routine maintenance. Though cars vary and the amount of maintenance depends largely on wear and tear, the following should help you get an idea of when your car will need a certain type of maintenance. Every 3,000 Miles to 7,000 Miles At intervals of between 3K and 7K miles, you’ll need to take care of one of the most important aspects of car care: getting a regular oil change and oil filter change. Your car depends on fresh oil to run well, so that’s why this is needed so frequently. At this stage you should also have your transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, tires (pressure and tread) inspected. It’s also a good idea to have your tires rotated every six months, or every 6K to 8K miles. This will help your car stay balanced and help your tires last longer. Every 15,000 Miles to 30,000 Miles Replace your air filter at this mileage range. This helps circulate cleaner air in the vehicle and also helps your engine run better. It’s also a good idea to have your battery and coolant inspected. Every 35,000 Miles to 50,000 Miles At this stage, you should have your battery inspected regularly and you may need to replace it along with spark plugs. It’s also time to have your ignition system and suspension inspected. Every 60,000 Miles Every 60K miles, your car will need even more attention. You may need to replace your brake pads, along with radiator hoses, coolant, and power steering fluid. And at this stage you should also have your HVAC inspected along with suspension, and your tires (tread and pressure).

Now that school is out and summer is in full swing, it’s time to be prepared for the inevitable summer beach trip — whether it’s planned or spontaneous. Having a few essentials in your car and preparing your vehicle itself for a day at the beach will go a long way to ensure your family’s comfort and safety, and your vehicle’s care and cleanliness. Keep Your Family Safe & Comfortable It’s always a good idea to leave a bottle of sunscreen in your car during the summer. Not only will this help you be prepared for any unplanned time outside, but you’ll also have an extra bottle on hand for your beach trip. There’s nothing worse than running out of sunscreen on the beach! Be sure to store it in a plastic bag or container to avoid any unfortunate leaks. Pack a cooler for snacks and fill it with the essentials for a day at the beach. Keeping snacks in one place will make organization and clean up easy. Using a cooler will also make it easier to haul snacks and drinks to and from the beach, both inside and outside of your car with ease. Keep Your Car Clean The worst thing about the beach is the mess that sand makes once you leave. Investing in a decent set of rubber floor mats will make beach trip clean up that much easier because it will keep much of the sand left on bare feet and sandals in once place. Use plastic containers for storage of beach day essentials, like goggles, beach toys, extra clothes to change into, and more. This will help you to avoid a mess of random items strewn about your car on your way to or from the beach and will make it easier to find what you need. Savannah Car Rentals Can Help! If you’re planning a beach trip but want to avoid putting the miles, wear, and tear on your personal vehicle, rent with Savannah Car Rentals! We can set you up with a low-mileage, late- model Nissan of any size or make to get you to and from the beach safely and comfortably. We offer a 10% student discount and active duty military can waive the security deposit. Visit any one of our locations in Savannah,

Summer is officially here and that means it’s time to take steps to keep your car running smoothly this summer. Hot temperatures can pose all sorts of problems for cars, especially older ones. It’s worth it to take the extra steps to make sure your car is in peak condition so you don’t end up stranded on the side of the road with car trouble in the middle of summer. Consider these tips when planning your summer car maintenance: Prevent your car from overheating by making sure the car isn’t running low on coolant. Be sure not to use coolant that is out of date and avoid overloading your car making it work harder than necessary in high temperatures. Use a sunshade when parked, especially when parked in direct sun. Not doing so can result in sun damage to the interior and it can also make surfaces dangerously hot when you re-enter the vehicle. Check wheel alignment. A winter full of ice, snow, and the resulting potholes can cause misalignment which can result in damage to tires and poor gas mileage. Speaking of tires, the beginning of summer is a great time to rotate them. Doing so will make sure the wear is even. Check tire pressure regularly and be sure to NOT over inflate your tires. Your tires will already expand as it gets warmer, and overinflating can put your car at risk for blowing a tire. Rent for Your Summer Vacation In addition, if you’re planning a summer road trip, consider renting a vehicle to save the mileage, wear, and tear on your own car. Savannah Car Rentals can accommodate any size family or group of friends with a low-mileage, late-model Nissan of any size and make. Summer Car Care is Easy with SCR Taking your car to the shop can be a hassle, but SCR makes it easy to get an affordable rental for a day or a week or even longer. We have three convenient locations in Hinesville, Statesboro, and Savannah, and we offer a 10% student discount and a security deposit waiver for active duty military.

Summer is, hands-down, the best time of the year to go on a trip. The sun is up, the sky is clear, and the days are longer, which makes it perfect to travel and get away from the banality of everyday life. Georgia summers are particularly hot and humid, so you’d probably want to head someplace where you can just relax and cool down. For more active and adventurous types, there are a lot of fun spots in and around Georgia that offer a slew of activities to choose from. Check out the following destinations while spending the summer in the Peach State. Hilton Head Island Although not exactly located in Georgia, Hilton Head Island is a popular summer destination among locals and tourists alike. Located in Beaufort County, South Carolina, this charming and activity-filled resort town is just less than an hour away from Savannah. What makes this island an ideal summer haven for some much-needed R&R? None other than its gorgeous white-sand beaches and top-rated golf courses. Coligny Beach is a perennial crowd favorite mainly due to its picturesque sunsets as well as its wide selection of dining and entertainment options on the Island. Stone Mountain Park With at least 4 million people visiting every year, Stone Mountain Park is arguably the most sought-after attraction in all of Georgia – and with good reason. Nature lovers visit in droves every summer, thanks to the Park’s breathtaking hiking trails and 363-acre lake where you can enjoy a peaceful afternoon of boating or fishing. Families can choose the perfect spot for a picnic or play a friendly game of mini golf at the onsite putting course. There’s definitely something for everyone at Stone Mountain Park, and if you’re coming from Savannah, it takes a mere four hours to get there. Did I hear someone say, “Road trip!”? Fort McAllister State Park Summer is often associated with fun times and recreation, but it can be a great opportunity for learning as well. Fort McAllister State Park in Richmond Hill is one such place where you can get both. Located just a few miles south of Savannah, this park is considered a major landmark of Civil War history. Apart from joining various history tours offered daily onsite, you can also seek refuge among the park’s majestic oak trees or spend the night on the serene camping grounds near Redbird Creek.

Top Reasons to Rent a Car for Your Road Trip Between spring break trips winding down and summer vacations on the horizon, you might have a road trip or two planned for the next few months. Be it a day, a few days, a week, or more, renting a car for your road trip is one of the best travel decisions you can make. Consider the top reasons to rent a car for your road trip and let Savannah Car Rentals help make your road trip safe, comfortable, and affordable! Why Rent a Car for Your Road Trip? ● Save mileage on your own car. Renting a car to drive across the state or across the country will inevitably save mileage on your own car. More mileage means more wear and tear, and you’d probably rather put that wear and tear on a rental rather than on the car you depend on to drive to work or school. Rent a car and let one of Savannah Car Rentals’ factory fresh Nissans take on the miles you’ll cover on your trip. ● Don’t let car problems threaten your vacation plans. Your personal car, unless its brand new, may have issues or may be at risk of developing issues… faulty transmission, old tires, a weak air conditioner… the possibilities are endless. Taking a car with problems or potential problems on a road trip is inviting a disaster to derail your vacation plans. Don’t risk it — rent a factory fresh vehicle and travel worry-free. ● Travel more comfortably. Rent the size, make, and model of car that you actually need for your trip rather than trying to cram a group into a small economy sized car. Several hours into your road trip you’ll be glad you did! Reach out to Savannah Car Rentals If you’re traveling in or around the Savannah, GA area, Savannah Car Rentals can serve you with three convenient locations in Savannah, Hinesville, and Statesboro. We’re also pleased to offer a 10% student discount, and a security deposit waiver for active duty military. Book one of our low-mileage, late-model Nissans of numerous sizes, makes, and models for your road trip today!

Tips for Spring Cleaning Your Car’s Interior It’s important to prep the exterior of your car for spring by taking care of things like ensuring correct tire pressure, changing the oil if necessary, and attaching new windshield wipers. But doing a nice spring cleaning on the interior of your car is also an important part of keeping your car running and looking its best. You might be doing a spring cleaning of your home or office — tossing out things you don’t need and tidying up in general in preparation for warmer weather and a new year. So why not spring clean your vehicle while you’re at it? The inside of your car has likely taken a beating all winter long just as the outside has because of weather, family events, traveling, muddy shoes, and more. When spring cleaning your car’s interior, keep these tips in mind: Carpets and upholstery: Your carpets take a beating no matter what sort of climate you live in. You’ve likely tracked mud, moisture, dirt, and snow on your car’s carpets and upholstery all winter — plus a few coffee stains here and there. Use a carpet cleaner or at the very least, a vacuum, to clean your carpets and upholstery, taking care to clean out underneath the seats as well. Glove box: Clean your glove box out of any trash that has accumulated, and make sure you have updated copies of your insurance cards stowed there. Consoles and dashboard: The dashboard is a great place for dust to gather; you’ll be amazed at how clean your car looks once you wipe it down. Pay attention not to get any moisture in outlets while cleaning your console(s). Car trunk: Car trunks can accumulate all kinds of junk throughout the winter. Store or throw away anything you won’t need with warmer weather approaching. Savannah Car Rentals Can Make This Easy If you’re hoping to hire a professional to clean out and detail your car, you don’t have to worry about not having a car while the pros clean out your own. Savannah Car Rentals can set you up with one of our low mileage, late model Nissans for the day and help keep you on schedule. Visit or call any one of our locations in Savannah, Hinesville, or Statesboro. We offer a security deposit waiver for active duty military and a 10% student discount. We make spring cleaning easier — rent with us today!
