• Inspect your car and make sure there is no damage or scratches. If you notice any, write it down on your paperwork
• Check the trunk to see if the spare is inflated and the necessary tools to change it are there
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and wipers
