After the emergence of the 3rd strain of covid-19, the conditions have become even more fatal. No doubt it is better to stay at home away from others but if you have to go outside, never board on public transport. Health experts suggested keeping social distance from others. And how the distance can be maintained by traveling in public transport. When you travel on public transport, you will be at greater risk of contracting the contagious virus. 

Well! It’s not a big issue if you are obliged to go somewhere, to your job, hospital, or any other place. You can go even by maintaining social distance from the public by renting a car from the car rental Dubai company. Just like all other advancements, Dubai is putting its utmost efforts into preventing the dissemination of covid-19. When people are suggested to travel in a rental car rather than public transport, they often think about the safety of the rented vehicles. 

If you are thinking the same, stay calm and relaxed. Because the professional car rental company ensures the safety of rented motors as they clean and sanitize vehicles before providing them to the customers. Obviously, there is a risk of getting in touch with the coronavirus but it is very less than traveling in a public bus and taxi where people are in crowds. 

No matter whether you have to go outside for an official meeting or some other purpose, feel free to rent a car because all the accessories are disinfected properly. Traveling in a rented motor vehicle will not directly expose you to the public just like other means of transportations. That’s why it is considered safer than public traveling means. 

Tips to rent a car while following COVID-19 safety measurements

Following are some measures you should check and consider while renting the vehicle in Dubai 2021. 

1- Wear Masks and Gloves

The very first thing you should do while renting a car is wearing a mask and gloves. Make sure that all the staff members dealing with vehicles are wearing masks and gloves. It will protect you from contacting any pathogenic agent, especially from the covid-19 strain. You will be amazed to see that almost every car rental service provider in Dubai is taking high precautionary measures. 

Besides wearing masks and gloves, the Dubai auto rental ensures the safety provision of the car by handing keys to you in a safe manner. After taking the key of your rented motor, disinfect properly with the sanitizing gel. Furthermore, we suggest you book and rent an automobile online in order to avoid manual paperwork. Fulfilling and contracting all the requirements for leasing and renting a motor will be safer for you. 

2- Sanitize The Rented Car Completely

Make sure the vehicle you are going to rent is properly disinfected with the cleaning agents and aerosols approved by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). If you have some serious concerns about your family health and you cannot trust anyone, you can ask employees of a car rental company to wash, clean, and disinfect your rented motor in front of you. 

Contrary to this, you can disinfect your rented vehicle yourself. But don’t forget to wear masks and gloves while doing so. Discard the gloves and masks in closed bin storage after disinfecting your car. Here are some places you should disinfect properly and regularly with aerosol wipes before getting into the vehicle. 

3- Disinfect Highly Touched Exterior Parts of Vehicle

No doubt there are fewer chances of getting exposure with the public but you may get in contact with the person or driver who rented the motor before you. Despite the sanitization and cleaning done by rental company employees, you should disinfect all the highly touched exterior points of your car. For instance, the gas cap, latch, motors handle, and side mirrors should be sanitized thoroughly with a disinfectant. 

In view of this, we recommend you apply the disinfectant with a wet cloth or cleaning cloth. Allow the disinfectant to stay on the exterior part of the automobile for 5 minutes to get rid of all kinds of hazardous viruses and agents. Never use the cleaning wipe, gloves, and masks used in disinfection again. Discard these things in a nearby trash box after disinfecting your cars’ exterior framework. 

4- Disinfect all the Driving Control Parts With Aerosol Wipes

When you sanitize all the exterior parts of a car, clean the interior parts as well. In particular, you should never forget the driving control parts that are highly touched. It depicts that sanitization of highly touched interior parts is also very essential for the safety of your family and you. Such parts that are mandatory to disinfect are the steering wheel, gear control buttons, and knobs mounted in the car. 

People often feel reluctant while using multiple wipes for cleaning different parts. If you are the one who wants to keep a set on your budget as well, you can clean your cars’ interior with a single wipe. Yes! It will surely disinfect all the infection-causing agents and germs as per health experts. In the end, spray an EPA-approved sanitizer all over the dashboard, seats, under the seats, and interior touchpoints. Doing so will eliminate all the possible chances of getting in touch with the novel strain of coronavirus.

Moreover, to get a clean and sanitized rental or leased vehicle, contact RentalcarsUAE to book your dream car. Not only will you get the clean car but also you will get the most reasonable rates.
