With everything San Diego has to offer, the last thing you want to worry about when visiting America’s finest city is safety, but all trips, no matter how short or long, benefit from keeping safety at the forefront of your mind.
At All-Star Rent a Van, we do our part by making sure our rental vans are well-maintained and always safe to drive, but we also want to offer some helpful tips to help you navigate the city. This way, we can help you enjoy your trip from beginning to end.
Essential Safety Tips
- Know The Van: If you’ve never driven a large van before, you want to take a few minutes to get familiar with the vehicle. Adjust mirrors and seats to your preferred position, locate all essential features, and maybe give it a test drive around the parking lot before heading out to the city.
- Plan Your Route: This is a good step to follow in more ways than one. San Diego has countless of attractions you can visit, so many that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed at first. By planning your trip ahead of time you can not only ensure a visit to the places that really matter to you, but also a deeper knowledge of the city that’ll help keep you safe in an emergency.
- Respect the Speed: Speed limits vary throughout San Diego, particularly in residential zones and school areas, and if you’re planning on exploring everything San Diego has to offer, you’ll have to drive through many different places. Always be aware of limits and adjust your speed according to traffic and road conditions.
- Secure Your Belongings: San Diego is a welcoming city, but it’s always wise to be cautious. Keep valuables out of sight, lock your doors when parked, and never leave belongings unattended. If you want to go the extra mile, you can always hide bags, backpacks, and luggage so it can’t be easily seen from outside.
- Stay Focused: Be mindful of your surroundings – watch for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. You should also avoid distractions like using your phone while driving and prioritize keeping both hands on the wheel.
