What are your vehicle must-haves?

- Does the vehicle get good gas mileage? Gas prices continue to remain high, which means that this is an important factor in selecting the right car. You could consider electric vehicles as well, but make sure to do some research to see if your route and destination feature charging stations for your needs. Some types of hybrid vehicles offer the benefit of gas efficiency and don’t have to be plugged in.
- Are you comfortable in the vehicle? Don’t get a car that doesn’t have nice leg room and comfy seats! You’ll probably be driving for long stretches of time between work assignments, so take care of yourself. Physical comfort isn’t the only factor here either. Features like a rear camera, GPS mapping, satellite radio, USB plugins, tinted windows etc make road trips much more enjoyable. Even a good cup holder can make your life easier while on the road.
- In a similar vein, does the vehicle have enough room for all of your stuff? Thankfully, our fully furnished short term rentals mean that you don’t have to bring kitchen utensils, TV or other essentials. We’ve got you covered! However, you will need to pack clothing and any other items needed. If you need a truck, weigh out the pros and cons of having flatbed space versus interior roominess.
- Is the vehicle generally capable of handling varied climates? When you travel to Shreveport LA, you won’t have to deal as much with snow. Air conditioning is vital to help offset the humidity, though! Keep in mind that all your assignments might not be in the beautiful South. Four-wheel drive, heated seats and well-functioning defog system are all valuable considerations as well.
- How safe is the car you’re thinking about purchasing? Each vehicle has different safety ratings, which can help new buyers rule out options that would be more susceptible to crash / injury. Take time to ask other car owners, do online research and talk to several car dealers.
The other piece of the puzzle: Fully furnished short term rentals
Ahhh…you’ve arrived! Now that you’ve completed your trip, it’s time to unpack and get settled in. Our fully furnished short term rentals allow freedom to spread out. You can put clothes away in the bedroom (or in a pile for laundry with the washer and dryer in your rental). Then, place groceries in the fridge and collapse on a leather recliner with the remote. Each rental includes access to an HDTV with cable and WiFi connection.
