• Inspect the car and determine if there is any damage or scrapes. If you notice any, mark it down on your paperwork
• Inspect the trunk to see if the spare is inflated and both the lug wrench and jack are there
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
