Before you get started on your Burlington adventure, check out a few items prior to leaving the rental lot. It's worth the time to:

• Look over the car and make certain there is no dents or scrapes. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it
• Check the trunk to determine if the spare is inflated and both the lug wrench and jack 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
