Every year millions of people visit Dubai. And while the crime rate is very low in Dubai, car thefts are pretty common in regions frequented by tourists. This is not to deter you from renting a luxury car and enjoying your Dubai trip but to make you aware of the problems that you may face and how you can tackle those problems. Whether you rent a Lamborghini or rent Mustang Dubai, you should be able to enjoy your trip to the fullest without any worries. The following are some safety measures that you can take to ensure the safety of your rental car.
Install a Tracker
Having a fair idea about the kind of tracker installed in your chosen vehicle and how it works can help you keep a track of your vehicle at all given times. Before you rent a car, ask the rental companies whether they install trackers in their vehicles or whether they exclusively install trackers in certain models. You can also ask them to install a tracker in the vehicle that you have chosen. In case your car gets lost or stolen, you can make use of the tracker to find it.
Safety First
Once a company rents out a car to you, it is as good as your own car. The company will not constantly call you or try to keep a track of your whereabouts unless you ask them to. So, the safety of the car is entirely your responsibility. You need to make sure that you are following the right parking regulations and even if you are paying for a parking spot, make sure that it is reliable. Don’t just park your car wherever you find a spot. You might hurriedly end up parking the car in an unsafe spot to save time only to lose a ton of time and money if something does happen to your car.
Don’t forget to Lock
It is understandable that when you are on a trip, too many things are asking for your attention. However, it’s advisable to spend two extra minutes to check if all the windows and doors are locked properly rather than suffer from financial losses later. It will also give you peace of mind to enjoy your trip to the fullest.
Conclusion
The aforementioned tips will help you in ensuring that your rental is safe and secure at all given times. The best car rental will usually include insurance. However, if your car does get stolen then make sure to report it immediately to your car rental company and they can then help you to report it to the police.
