Winter brings with it snowfall, but also gifts and a festive atmosphere in December. However, it also brings ice, low visibility and heavy traffic. That is why driving in winter requires increased attention, whether you are behind the wheel of a rental car or your own.
Here are some tips from the Alfa Car Rental Cluj office that you should keep in mind when driving in the cold season:
1. Plan longer trips in advance!
Before setting off, check the weather and road conditions as much as possible. If there are closed roads or traffic restrictions, it would be good to know in advance to avoid those areas.
2. Check the windshield fluid!
Before getting into your rental car, check the windshield fluid level! The weather is unpredictable in the cold season and you will be using your wipers quite often, so it would be a good idea to have a full tank of windshield washer fluid.
3. Pay attention to the road conditions!
Sometimes we have the impression that the road surface is dry, when in fact it can be covered with a smooth layer of ice, almost invisible to the naked eye. Although this does not always happen, driving with increased attention will help you adopt safe driving habits.
4. Keep your fuel tank as full as possible!
It is never fun to run out of fuel, but in winter it seems much more annoying.
5. Slow down!
Pay attention to the road so that you can recognize potential dangers and give yourself time to react. Sudden movements can cause skidding, so it would be a good idea to pay attention to the passages, which tend to freeze faster and stay frozen longer than the rest of the highway.
Regardless of the season, if you decide to use a car rental service, you can book a car from Alfa Rent a Car Cluj airport Avram Iancu ofiice where the range of cars is varied, and the rates are negotiable, everything calculated according to the needs of the customers.
