1 min de lecture

Most trips are incident‑free, but theft deterrence is about habits. Use these simple steps to keep your Hola Car Rentals vehicle—and everything inside—far less attractive to thieves.

Park smart and blend in

Choose bright, busy areas or attended garages. Avoid leaving gear visible. Back into spots when possible to make loading faster and safer.

Empty or hide? Choose neither—carry valuables

Take cameras, passports, and laptops with you. If you must leave items behind, store them before you arrive at your destination—not in the parking lot where someone might be watching. For West Coast trips, note return routes for Los Angeles car hire so you can plan safe fuel stops outside crowded areas.

Trunk habits that work

Keep the cabin clutter‑free and the cargo cover closed. Time your shopping so you can go directly to your hotel afterward. Heading to the desert or strip? Map garages near Las Vegas car rental and take quick photos of your parking level.

Stay alert when you unload

Stage luggage in the trunk before you park. If your itinerary includes South Florida or Texas, confirm neighborhood tips while browsing Miami car rental or planning routes from Austin car hire.

Simple tech checks

  • Lock every door and confirm windows are fully closed.
  • Never leave key fobs inside the vehicle—even briefly.
  • Use a steering‑wheel lock if provided by your accommodation.
  • Turn off Bluetooth discoverability to keep devices hidden.

Book smarter

  • All‑Inclusive+ Rate with maximum coverage available.
  • No additional fees, save 60% guaranteed on advance bookings.
  • Free Cancellation up to 48 hours before pick‑up.

Reserve with Hola Car Rentals and enjoy your road trip with confidence—eyes on the adventure, not your trunk.
