Before you drive off

Before you get started on your South Charleston vacation, be sure you go over a few items prior to leaving the car rental lot. It's important to:

• Check out the car and determine if there is any dents or scrapes. If you notice any, mark it down on the paperwork
• Make you have a properly inflated spare tire, lug wrench, and jack in the trunk
• Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
