Vital Items To Carry In Rental Car

 Renting a car is no less than a way to enjoy a stress-free holiday with family and friends, without any concern for struggling with local traffic facilities. But this facility can become a curse if you forget to carry some important things with you while travelling. It is the time when you blame yourself for being careless and forgetting necessary items. Considering this problem of many travellers planning to rent a car in Paxos for their next holiday, this blog highlights some necessary items to carry when renting a car.






  1. Valid Driving License: It is one of the most important items to carry when renting a car. Carrying a valid driving license is not only required to rent a car but also ensures your eligibility for driving in another country. Make sure to carry your latest license which is strictly according to the terms and conditions of the car rental company.

  2. Copy Of Insurance: Along with a valid driving license also don’t forget to carry your insurance documentation, including proof of coverage and contact information for your insurance provider. While rental car agencies rent you a car after covering the basic insurance, having the information about your insurance available to you helps in performing the claim process during an accident or any damage to the rented vehicle.

  3. Navigation System or GPS: Although the cars manufactured today are equipped with an inbuilt GPS, but carrying a personal navigation system provides extra flexibility and convenience.

  4. Car Charger and USB Cable: Keeping your fully charged when visiting an unknown destination is always a good strategy. It helps you stay connected with the hotel staff where you stay during your holiday and is also beneficial in locating your destination. If you are unsure about the battery of your phone, try to carry a car charger or USB cable to charge your phone while driving.

  5. Personal Items: To make your journey comfortable and filled with fun and pleasure it is recommended to carry some personal items like a blanket, snacks, sanitiser, travel pillow, etc according to your needs. Carrying these items keeps you refreshed when driving a rental car.

  6. Medical Kit: The need for a medical emergency can arise anytime, anywhere. Try to carry necessary items like bandages, cotton, tablets, antiseptic lotions, etc, to cope with emergency medical needs.

  7. Emergency Kit: Like a medical kit, try to carry an emergency kit also to tackle any emergency. Items which you can carry in the kit include a flashlight, tyre inflator, jumper cables, and some common items for breakdown repairs.

  8. Necessary Documents Related To Your Travel Programme: Don’t forget to carry the necessary documents for your journey including your passport, copy of your rental agreement, air tickets, etc. Carrying these items helps show to government authorities in case of checking.

  9. Camera: Camera is one of the most important items while travelling and renting a car is no exception. Although, nowadays mobile phones come with in-built high-pixel cameras to capture beautiful moments of your journey.


Carrying these items while travelling will keep you ready during an urgent situation. As a final tip, be updated with the forecast and know the local driving rules before hitting the road.
