DRIVE WITH CONFIDENCE
The New Year is a time when we think about making changes for the better. Ensuring that your
car is in tip-top shape should be on top of the list. Here’s a head start – consider these three
essential tips to make sure your vehicle is ready for the road and you’ll be well on your way
to keeping you and your loved ones safe and protected.
3 ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR CAR SAFER
1
Schedule a checkup Before
starting any road trip, make sure
your vehicle has the proper level of
recommended fluids. For maximum
efficiency, schedule an oil change and
check for the correct levels of coolant,
as well as power steering, brake and
windshield wiper fluids. Also, ensure
that the tires are properly inf lated for
safety; this also helps you get the
most optimal gas mileage.
2
Read the rubber Inspect your
tires for any tears or bulges in
the sidewall, and make sure there’s
an appropriate amount of tread left.
The easiest way to measure this, if
you don’t have a gauge, is to place a
quarter upside down into the tread. If
the top of George Washington’s head
is visible, you need new tires to have
proper traction in all weather and
especially during winter conditions.
3
Pack smart Check your
vehicle’s load capacity to make
sure you aren’t carrying too much
weight. On most new cars, the total
allowable weight can be found inside
the driver-side door. Rooftop cargo
boxes should only be filled with light
bulky items; heavy loads can make
the vehicle more difficult to handle in
emergency situations and increase
the risk of a rollover.
BONUS TIP Of course, it’s impossible to anticipate each and every hazardous situation. That’s why having protection
when you’re on the road is so essential. AARP Roadside Assistance from Allstate offers 24-hour emergency roadside
service and a variety of travel, car care and auto club benefits.

can save you money and help keep you safe.

Chasing The Sun With Avis and Budget
When holidays are over and snow shoveling

bags, and plot a roadmap to sunshine.
An AARP Travel survey reveals that more
than 7 in 10 of nearly 80 million US baby
boomers say road trips are their favorite
way to travel. And Avis/Budget Rent-A-Car,
the second largest car rental agency in the
world, has the perfect set of wheels to get
you to your place in the sun. Packed with
safety, convenience and the newest model
vehicles, Avis minimizes your trip’s cost and
hassle.
For 70 years Avis and Budget Rent-ACar has been supplying a multitude of
best-in-class rental car solutions. The
Avis brand provides a premium car rental
experience while Budget serves valueconscious travelers. Both brands, however,
consistently provide the quality and service

there’s a location wherever your travel
plans find you. Avis has the perfect car for
any escape, from compact or sporty to SUV
and minivan, which is more than handy
when warmer temps call your name this
year.
Renting a car means not missing a thing
on your road trip itinerary. With better fuel
efficiency and gas mileage, rental vehicles
have lower breakdown risk than your own
hard-working family car. Inconvenient
breakdowns can stop a vacation in its
tracks. With Avis, a replacement for a blown
engine or transmission is just a phone call
away. Cruising the open road and chasing
the horizon in your own set of wheels help
you experience your destination your way.
Wherever the sun drives your winter escape
this year, Avis/Budget Rent-A-Car supplies
peace of mind.
