Planning a road adventure across the UAE or navigating Dubai’s city roads during the sweltering summer? Whether you’ve booked a Luxury Car from Seven Luxury Car Rental or you’ve recently moved to the region, it’s crucial to be prepared for the intense heat that defines the summer months. To ensure a smooth and safe driving experience, we’ve compiled ten expert tips tailored for hot-weather conditions.
1. Monitor Your Engine Temperature
Most modern vehicles are equipped to handle high temperatures, with cooling systems and radiators that work hard to keep the engine stable. However, if coolant levels are low or your fan isn’t functioning properly, overheating becomes a real risk. Always pull over safely at the first sign of rising temperatures. Allow the engine to cool naturally before attempting to open the radiator cap to avoid injury.
2. Inspect Tyres Frequently
Hot asphalt and rising temperatures can significantly affect tyre pressure. Routinely check that your tyres are correctly inflated and examine them for wear or damage, particularly after long drives on heated roads.
3. Choose Shaded Parking Spots
Whenever possible, park your vehicle in shaded areas or underground garages. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can damage the vehicle’s interior and make it uncomfortably hot for re-entry, even for a premium car with top-notch AC.
4. Pack a Summer-Ready Emergency Kit
A year-round emergency kit is essential, but in summer, supplement it with warm-weather essentials: polarized sunglasses, multiple bottles of safe-grade water, broad-spectrum sunblock, and soothing after-sun lotion. These additions will help keep you safe and refreshed.
5. Avoid Midday Desert Excursions
Desert temperatures can soar above 50°C during the peak summer season. If you’re renting a luxury SUV for desert adventures, plan early morning or evening trips to avoid extreme heat exposure and reduce vehicle strain.
6. Never Leave Children or Pets Inside
Heat builds up rapidly in closed vehicles. A locked car can become dangerously hot, even in a few minutes. Always ensure that children and pets exit the vehicle with you, no matter how short the stop.
7. Remove Pressurized Items from the Vehicle
Avoid leaving aerosol cans, lighters, fizzy drinks, or perfume bottles inside your vehicle. In extreme heat, these items can explode, potentially damaging the interior and leading to costly repairs or additional car detailing.
8. Plan Routes to Avoid Traffic Congestion
Idling in heavy traffic increases the likelihood of overheating. Whenever possible, schedule your drives outside of peak rush hours to keep the engine cool and your ride stress-free.
9. Stay on Top of Vehicle Maintenance
At Seven Luxury Car Rental, all our high-end vehicles undergo thorough maintenance and summer-specific service checks. If you’re driving your own car, pay extra attention to your AC performance, battery health, and coolant systems during the hotter months.
