What's the point in rushing the drive only to arrive tired, frustrated, or aggravated?

Warning Signs of Fatigue

It is important that you stop your drive and get rest as you drive your Bronx car rental to your destination. Fatigue sets in quickly and unexpectantly. There are a few warning signs that you may be falling asleep. If you feel any muscle cramps or aches, your body is talking to you, asking you to pull the car over as soon as possible. Pull your car over and stop at rest stops or scenic overlooks, even if it is just for a few minutes, to take a brief walk and stretch your legs and move your arms. If there are others with you who are listed as authorized drivers on the car rental agreement, ask them to take over and drive a little. You may want to lean the passenger seat of the car back and take a nap while someone else drives. You can then resume driving or just be rested when you arrive where you are going.

Fuel Tips

Be sure that you check the gas gauge when you rent a car in the Bronx. We suggest that you never allow the fuel level of the Bronx car rental to dip too low in the event you find yourself on a road with no gas stations. Keep in mind that you may be driving on unfamiliar roads and want to be safe. When you do stop for fuel, be sure to get out of the car and stretch your legs. Take a walk around, allowing your body to take in some fresh air.

Finding a Safe Rest Stop

Should you be driving alone after you rent a car in the Bronx, or if you are the only driver in the car and are tired or falling asleep, we suggest you find a safe spot to rest and take a nap. It's better to delay your trip than to risk driving when tired and fall asleep at the wheel of the car. Do not stop the car on the side of the road. Look for a rest stop and, even then, find a well-lit area, preferably near other vehicles and not in a corner or isolated section of the rest stop. Before taking your nap, call or text a family member or friend to inform them where you are and what you are doing so that others can be comforted in knowing you are safe.

Substances That Might Impair Your Driving

Before and during your trip with the Bronx car rental, be sure not to consumer alcoholic beverages. If you are taking medications, even over the counter ones, read the labels or ask a pharmacist if they will have any impact on your ability to drive after you rent a car in the Bronx.

Be safe and enjoy the drive in your Allcar rent a car vehicle.
