Planning a scenic road trip in Dubai with a luxury car rental from Seven Luxury Car Rental? Or perhaps you’ve recently moved to the UAE and are adjusting to summer driving conditions in the city? With temperatures regularly soaring above 40°C, ensuring your safety and comfort behind the wheel becomes more important than ever. To help you navigate the heat, we’ve compiled a set of expert summer driving tips, especially useful when you’re driving one of our premium vehicles.
1. Prevent Engine Overheating
Modern luxury vehicles are equipped with advanced cooling systems, but even high-performance engines can overheat if not properly maintained. Always monitor your coolant levels and ensure the radiator fan is functioning effectively. If your engine starts to overheat, pull over safely, switch off the car, and let it cool naturally. Never attempt to open the radiator cap while the engine is hot.
2. Monitor Tire Pressure Frequently
Extreme heat can cause the air inside your tires to expand, affecting tire pressure and overall safety. When renting or driving a high-end car, such as a sports car or SUV, it’s essential to inspect the tire condition regularly, especially when navigating sun-heated roads.
3. Choose Shaded or Covered Parking
Direct sunlight can overheat the vehicle cabin and potentially damage luxury interiors, such as leather seats or wood trim. Always opt for shaded parking or underground garages when available to maintain the interior quality of your rented luxury car.
4. Carry a Well-Equipped Emergency Kit
In addition to the standard first-aid supplies, make sure your summer emergency kit includes polarized sunglasses, SPF sunscreen, and sufficient bottled water. Avoid leaving plastic bottles in the car as they may degrade due to extreme heat.
5. Schedule Desert Drives Smartly
Planning a desert safari or a dune-bashing experience in a luxury 4×4 rental? Schedule your activity early in the morning or late at night to avoid peak desert temperatures, which can easily exceed 50°C.
6. Never Leave Children or Pets Unattended
Temperatures inside a locked car can rise rapidly and become life-threatening. Whether you’re driving a Rolls-Royce, a Lamborghini, or a Range Rover, never leave children or pets in the car, even for a short stop.
7. Remove Pressurized Items from the Vehicle
Do not store aerosol cans, perfumes, lighters, or fizzy drinks inside the car. In extreme heat, these items can explode, leading to potential injury or interior damage that may result in additional detailing costs for luxury rentals.
8. Avoid Peak Traffic When Possible
High-end vehicles, although engineered for performance, are still susceptible to heat stress when idling in prolonged traffic. Use real-time navigation tools to avoid congested areas during rush hours, thereby preserving both your time and your car’s efficiency.
9. Maintain Regular Vehicle Check-Ups
At Seven Luxury Car Rental in Dubai, every vehicle undergoes routine inspections to ensure optimal performance. From air conditioning systems to battery health and coolant levels, summer readiness is a priority. If you own a car, ensure your vehicle is also serviced more frequently during the hot months.
10. Use Sunshades to Lower Cabin Temperature
Invest in quality windshield and side window sunshades to reduce the internal temperature of your vehicle. These accessories are especially beneficial for high-end models with sensitive leather or suede interiors.
11. Keep Your Phone Charged and Connected
When navigating long distances under the summer sun, ensure your smartphone is fully charged and connected via Bluetooth or Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. Not only will this allow for uninterrupted navigation, but it also enables immediate contact with emergency services or roadside assistance if needed.
