How to Book One Way Car Rental

To contact us Click HERE
Booking a Car Rental:
Booking a one way car rental makes sense if you are taking a one way road trip and have other or no plans for a return journey. There are plenty of companies offering one way car rental. Nowadays researching online is the easiest and quickest way to find and book a one way car rental. Most rental companies have put online the detailed information regarding their rental policies and they can also be reached via email for more details.

Before contacting the rental agency, have a clear idea about -
  • The destination you are headed for.
  • The route you are planning on taking.
  • If you are going to drive the entire way or if there will be another person taking turns at the driving.
  • The number of passengers, if any, in the car.
  • The type of car you want.
  • Your rental budget.
  • The details of your insurance policies, particularly the automobile and liability insurance policies and if these cover car rentals.
When searching for one way car rental companies, do the following -
  • Find out if the company has offices and drop off places along the route you are taking or in the cities you will be visiting. Major car rental companies are more likely to have a high percentage of drop off places around the country. It also is reassuring to rent from a company with an established reputation. You stand a better chance of getting a quality car and less chances of being scammed or ripped off.
  • Whether you book your vehicle online or at the car rental office, make sure you carefully read the rental agreement and restrictions and that you understand all the terms and conditions thoroughly. If you don't comprehend any of the terms, ask the agent to clarify them for you. You don't want to get into a legal bind for overlooking some detail.
  • Find out if there is a penalty for no-shows.
  • If there is going to be another driver that will be driving the car, make sure you have that down on the contract. You may have to pay additional charges for a second driver.
  • Ask beforehand what the drop off charges will be. They can turn out to be quite high, so its good to have an idea beforehand.
  • Ask about other charges like fees for insurance, airport fees, over mileage fees and taxes. You may have to buy collision damage insurance, personal effect insurance, personal accident insurance and liability insurance if your insurance policy does not cover rentals. Find out first what your insurance policy or credit card policy covers, so you don't end up buying extra.
  • Ask the rental company if they will provide support services in case the rental car breaks down or is involved in an accident. It could be a major problem for you if they don't. If they offer such assistance, make sure you are provided with the road side assistance contact details.
  • Ask if the company is offering any car rental discounts. Many car companies offer discounts on frequent flier programs, credit card programs, online bookings and so on. Check if there are any hidden costs involved.
  • Negotiate the price. This may be possible, if it's a slow season and the company would rather rent you a car than have it sitting in the lot indefinitely.
  • If you're getting a bargain, make your reservation quickly. Prices tend to fluctuate according to demand.
  • You will have to make a down payment at the time of making the reservation, and pay the rest when you go to pick up the car at the rental lot. Make sure you understand all the charges correctly.
  • Make sure you have the one way rental car's registration and insurance papers with you.
  • Make sure you are familiar with the type of car you are renting. This may sound a tad obvious, but it's easy to get carried away, particularly when you are being offered a bargain. And it's really not a smart idea to experiment with a rental car.
Check the car thoroughly inside and outside in the lot, in the presence of the agent. If there are any dents or scratches or tears, point them out and make a note of them. You don't want to have to pay for 'damages' later that you didn't do.

South Asian Culture

The South Asian culture is a mixed bowl of a number of different influencing societies, nationalities, ethnic traditions and cultural heritages. The sub-continent is a pot pourrie from the Western-centric perspective and is commonly divided into natural geographic and cultural regions. The region comprises North Asia, South Asia, East Asia, Central Asia, South West Asia, South East Asia and the Caucasus. Interestingly, and adding to the enigma of the region, Asia is not a distinct continent, geographically. It is distinctly home to commonalities in culture and there has been little or no unity within the natural framework.

South Asian culture comprises its art, cuisine, music, literature, philosophy, religions and the complex relationship between the common, traditional cultures. Home to Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Islam, Confucianism and Christianity, South Asian culture is rich and varied. The nations of South Asia share an ethnic background and most of the territorial divisions have come up only in the recent past. These similar cultures were basically separated due to varying religious compositions. The culture springs from the rich early Indus Valley Civilization that saw the influx and mix of the Aryan and Dravidian races. The populace component of South Asia eventually mingled to form a unique common culture.

The major exodus from the northwest, near the borders of Afghanistan, saw a major influence on the religions of the sub continent, with the arrival of Islam. Though, in the traditional South Asian culture most divisions were based on religion, the commonalities are seen in common interests in sports, shared history, geographical conditions, occupations, lifestyles, food and dress. The temples and places of worship are architectural marvels and completely rebuilt, in the same style, every few years. The common material used in the building includes wood, thatch and stone.

The South Asian culture includes commonalities in celebrations and festivals. Dance is common to all the culture components as a form of announcing harvest, spring and the onset of winter. The people of South Asian culture dance to the beat of a drum, even as they sing and dance. In South Asia, dance is an integral part of the culture, with slight variations in style. There are courtly dances, dances of celebration and dance dramas. The stories handed down the ages also have a lot of similarity. They all talk of a terrible flood or years spent to control a deluge and help received from the heavens to 'fix the broken sky'!

The South Asian culture is also home to a number of magical animals and plants, like the extolled nekomatas or felines with two tails and magical powers, the Balinese child-eating rangdas, the pishachas or haunters of the cremation grounds etc. Story-telling and folklores are common to the cultures of the region and South Asia has given the world a collection of fables. South Asia displays great linguistic diversity, the components being a number of language families and isolates and regional dialects. Most of the South Asian countries have more than one language natively spoken.

South Asian philosophical traditions cover a large spectrum of thoughts and writings. They include antithesis like on one hand propagating non-material pursuits, whereas on the other preach the enjoyment of material world. The region is home to the universally accepted and applied Gandhian principles of non-violence and peaceful resistance. Interestingly, majority of people in the world who practice a religious faith, practice one originally from South Asia. The region celebrates a variety of festivals, which are also traditional holidays in many regions.

In South Asia, rice is the staple food. The region is not only a major consumer but the world's granary of rice. The use of exotic spices that grow on the land and extensive consumption of fish along the coastlines is another common feature. Years of colonization and interactions with other cultures and nations, the cuisine has also inherited flavors that are distinctly Latin and American. These are incorporated within the people's local blends.

Best Amusement Parks in America

I completely agree with what Doug Coupland says in the above quote. Indeed, this compulsion of turning to relationships for entertainment was what kept relationships intact. You see, as is with most machines and body parts, relationships often lose their functionality when they are not regularly oiled with the lubricants of intimacy, concern, communication and rendezvous. Now, you must be wondering what does this lecture on relationships has to do with best amusement parks in America, right? Well, I see amusement and theme parks as a great machinery to reinforce emotional bonds and packs a family of any other closed social unit tighter. Don't get my point? Doesn't it feel great to laugh with people you love? Isn't it a great relief to share your grief with you family and close friends? Didn't it feel awesome to scream together on the roller coaster ride the last time you visited an amusement park with your family or gang of thick pals? Now do you get my point?

Amusement parks never lose their appeal to us, no matter what age we are. As kids, they fascinate us with their wide array of games, rides and various other entertainment booths and food stalls. As grown ups, they remind us of our juvenile years when we had so much fun visiting these amusement parks. The rides that had once scared us as kids thrill our adult senses and watching small children re`cting the same way we did to those giant wheels take us on a trip down memory lane. Amusement parks always make me sentimental and before I get carried away any more by nostalgia, let's take a trip to some of the best amusement parks in America.

What to Bring on a Road Trip

To contact us Click HERE
The spontaneity and excitement of a road trip is unparalleled by any other. And with the vacation time round the corner, a few weeks of fun on the open, wide roads, can be an experience of a lifetime. Having said that, road trips can be a nightmare if not properly planned. You obviously do not want to be lost in some god forsaken place, in freezing temperatures, eating refried beans and cheese burritos. So, for all those who want to make their trip a fulfilling and fun experience, make a checklist for the road trip. This should include a checking of your vehicle, preparing for emergencies, stocking in on your entertainment needs and getting your navigational tools in place. Oh, and I forgot the most important part of the road trip planning process, i.e stocking up the food and the drinks for the trip. I know this may go against the spirit of a spontaneous road trip, but believe me it will save you lots of hassles on the road, not to mention a significant amount of money. One of the most important part of road trip preparation, is to determine what to bring on a road trip. The obvious thumb rule when packing for a road trip, is that 'less is more'. So instead of stockpiling a whole lot of things into your car, make a checklist of what you need on the trip. Making a checklist is the best travel tip possible, as it ensures that nothing is forgotten in a last minute hurry.

Things to Bring on a Road Trip

Luggage Sets: Select the smallest duffel bag or a backpack that you can find, and try to fit in the stuff that you need for the journey, into it. Leave behind the big suitcases, as there are very few things less pleasant than having to haul a giant suitcase around, when traveling. For a long journey pack your clean clothes into small plastic bags and throw in a large laundry bag, for the soon to be dirty clothes. Also make sure to pack a pair of comfortable sandals and a good pair of hiking shoes for the journey.

Music: What is a good road trip without great music so whether you are in a car, van, or an RV, stock up the CDs for a long journey. However sometimes the ready-made playlists and albums can get quite boring. A great idea is to use an iPod and just borrow songs from the people you visit. Please do not count on the radio, unless you want to be stuck with bad twangy pop and Christian radio.

Camera: This is a must have for all those people, who are not quite so eloquent with words. Describing the fun you had on your great adventure journey can be easy, if you have loads of pictures. Well, you do not have to be a pro to get the right shots. With a simple point and shoot digital camera, you can show them to your grandchildren, when you are really old.

A GPS Navigation System: Say goodbye to your travel maps. GPS navigation systems with built in maps, are an ideal way of making the chances of your getting lost from slim to nil. It not only shows you where you are on the map but also provides real-time updates of your location. In addition, they offer automatic route-planning and turn-by-turn directions, making it virtually impossible to get lost.

Cash or Credit: Well, if you are going to use it, you also have to pay for it. You can carry cash or if you are just wary of carrying a wad of dollars, just stick with the plastic money. Then there are the handy traveler's checks, that can be purchased at travel agencies, like AAA and through American Express.

Food: Believe me, life is much simpler without those greasy burgers and the gas station pretzels, so be wise and pack in your food. Keep a stock of healthy road trip snacks and other dry food, in a separate bag and use a large cooler for juice, soda and water. You can also keep meat, fruit and raw veggies in the cooler. Remember to get a garbage bag for all the trash.

First Aid Kit: A must have for all long journeys, first aid kits can be bought or made. Simply put your antiseptics, ointments, bandages and aspirins in a plastic bag. Personally, I like to carry a hand cleanser and a sunscreen too, along with it.

A Journal: Ok, this is not really indispensable, but carrying a journal allows you to pen down your thoughts. It is great for people wanting to memorize the little details of their journey.

In addition to this, you can find a list of things that you can also take along with you. A host of other stuff for your entertainment needs, like a portable DVD player, a supply of books and magazines, portable board games or a laptop, can be added trip accessories. The most important thing is to travel light, so that you can enjoy and have a relaxing, fun trip, without having to bother about the pile of stuff lying in your car.

Mini vacations also have their own share of fun attached to them. They are like stress busters and can also be taken after a grueling week. More often than not, an extended vacation causes more stress than relieve it, as it also requires elaborate planning.

Best Hiking Backpacks

To contact us Click HERE
Mountaineering and outdoor gear companies manufacture backpacks by taking into consideration three important factors, namely the purpose, the weight that is to be carried, and the posture of the user. Believe it or not, all these factors are deeply pondered upon and appropriate research and development is done and enough thought is put in, to make your hike and camping trip an enjoyable one. The best hiking backpacks are not just stitched up sacks that you can use for packing for a hike. They are engineered as per your convenience and comforts. Choosing the best backpacks for hiking is not a difficult job, but here's what you can do...

Choosing the Best Backpack for Hiking

Selecting a good backpack for hiking is not simple and a visit to the camping gear store will put you into further confusion. Here are a few points that you can consider while buying a backpack. First consider the volume of outdoor gear that you will be able to carry comfortably, because you are not able to carry a lot of stuff, a big backpack will tend to be very very uncomfortable. For small one day hikes, you will find that smaller, compact backpacks that fit snugly on your back and shoulders are more comfortable, and will give you a certain ease in movement. Most of these bag packs have extension flaps or faster facilities, on which you shall be able to put up your sleeping bag or bed roll. These bags also have certain external pouches that you can attach in cases is you wish to carry additional gear. Remember a backpack that is unbearable and uncomfortable might injure your back. When you are going for longer hikes and treks, you can carry a small strapped side bag to carry the extra load. Make sure that the straps are a bit broad and the inside of the straps and the back of bag is cushioned.

The bigger hiking bags are meant for a longer hike of a few days. Some of these bags may also have a 'frame' at the back. Choosing the best hiking backpacks from this range is always difficult, as the size is large by default and the bag is like a big cube-on. There are two good leads that you can use while purchasing such a bag. First, let it be comfortable for your back and shoulders. Secondly, after you wear the bag on your shoulders, it should barely touch your hips. Anything longer and shorter will create back pain and shoulder pain. Your hips sustain some amount of weight in such a situation.

How to Pack a Backpack

When you purchase the best backpacks you will also have to know how to pack a backpack properly. The best trick is to equally distribute weight throughout the bag. Put water bottles and the medical kit in the outer pockets where you can reach for them quickly. The food and clothing shall go into the middle and bigger compartment. The outer fastening flap is reserved for your sleeping bag. After you are done packing the bag, make sure that you wear it a couple of times, and make adjustments to make it more comfortable. The weight of the bag should be symmetrical on a horizontal as well as vertical axis. Make sure that you do not strain any part of your body, especially your shoulders.

Another very important point, that I wish to emphasize upon, is that never ever go in for cheap and substandard packs as they are bound to harm your shoulders or back. Purchase some really well designed backpacks by manufacturers such as North Face, Black Diamond, Eagle Creek. In case, if you are unable to find the bags by these manufacturer, you can also go in for bags made by sports gear manufacturers like, Nike, Addidas or Reebok. An excellent option is purchasing a backpacks from the armed forces supply stores. These are the best hiking backpacks that you can get.

Easy Camping Meals

To contact us Click HERE
Are you having a difficult time finding recipes for meals during your camping adventures? You don't want to bring a ton of ingredients along and too much materials to make meals during your trip, as it will add to the bulk and weight of your camping load. On the other hand, you don't want to have unappealing meals because the meals you have during your camping trip adds to the experience that you will have.

With my many years of camping experience, I have done many trials and errors with different meals to prepare while on a camping trip. My first time on a camping trip, I decided to bring along too many ingredients to prepare meals on the trip. I didn't take into consideration that I could not necessarily prepare meals like I would at home. I ended up not having the right utensils or materials in general to prepare certain meals. I ended up skipping meals and eating a lot of cookies and chips during the trip, because I didn't even think to bring a variety of snacks, as I was depending too much on the meals that I had planned. Needless to say it ruined my trip, as my appetite was not satisfied during my getaway.

With my many trials and errors, I have come up with many different easy camping meals and food items in general to bring along on camping trips. Two easy meals that I like to take along on my trip is a taco salad and pita bread pizza. For the taco salad, I bring along tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, pre cooked hamburger, shredded lettuce, and salsa. You can keep the cheese, hamburger, and salsa in a cooler, than throw everything together for a delicious meal! For the pita bread pizza, all you need is pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and of course pita bread. The sauce can be heated up with your portable stove. A portable stove is a great investment, as many easy but fantastic camping meals can be made out in the wilderness, but a stove is needed in order to heat some of the ingredients up. These two meals are quick, easy, and delicious for camping trips!

Additionally, one of my favorite meals of the day is dinner. I like a good meat, starch, and veggie in every dinner meal. For my camping trips, I like to have a couple different types of meats already cut and put into baggies to throw on the grill for the evenings that I will spend camping. I also pre cut any veggies that I would like to have for dinner and put it in containers until needed. For my starch, I usually pre make rice or mashed potatoes and store it in a container as well.

Booking Business Travel

To contact us Click HERE
If you frequently find yourself in airports and hotels all over the country for business trip after business trip, the following tips for booking future business travel arrangements may prove helpful.

When booking your hotel, focus your search on those that offer special services for business travelers, such as access to high speed internet; fax and copier machines; courier service; continental breakfast; morning newspaper; iron, mini-blow dryer, and alarm clock or wake up call to your room; and courtesy toiletries at the front desk. To ensure that your surroundings will allow you to sleep well as well as think clearly and establish focus when you need to work in your room, request a room facing away from busy streets, highways, and ice machines in order to minimize noise during your stay.

There are several ways to make your trip easier during the flight booking process. Book your flights online to easily compare airlines and airfares, as well as to save on the extra fee that many airlines now charge for booking over the phone - which usually exceeds the fee that discount sites like Travelocity charge when they do charge a booking fee at all. Purchasing tickets online also offers you the convenience of being able to expedite your check in process by printing your itineraries and your boarding passes before you even leave for the airport, and also provides you with convenient back up copies of your information online in case you lose any of those vital materials during the course of your hectic travels.

Also, make an effort to schedule your flight for as early as possible in the day, to protect yourself from missed meetings, frantic arrivals, or appointment tardiness in case of flight delays. If possible, arrange to arrive the night before any of your major obligations in order to allow yourself plenty of time to rest up and adjust before going ahead with the chaos of your travel schedule - especially if there are jet lag issues to adjust to with any time zone changes. If necessary, consider other means of travel based on the distance of your business travel destination. Commonly, our minds immediately jump to flying, but when your destination is no more than a couple of hundred miles or so from home, driving or taking a train might be a better option once you take into consideration the amount of time you'd spend checking in at airports, then waiting to board, then waiting to take off, then taxiing after landing, then waiting at baggage claim, and finally traveling to and from the airport - plus the extra expenses and restrictions that airlines attach to your travel.

If you're at all uncertain about your travel dates or have any reason to believe your itinerary could change, consider booking an open-ended ticket. Changing your flight otherwise could cost you as much as $150 anyway - and that's in addition to the difference between the cost of the old flight and the new one - so the security of the open-ended ticket could be well worth its additional up front expense instead. The quickest way to corporate recognition is to prove your worth as a valuable asset to your company, and these practical tips should have you well on your way.

Black Forest in Germany

To contact us Click HERE
The Black Forest is a forested mountain range in Baden-Württemberg state in Germany. It covers the German districts of Enz, Rastatt, Calw, Freudenstadt, Ortenaukreis, Rottweil, Emmendingen, Schwarzwald-Baar, Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Lörrach, and Waldshut. This 120 mile long and 37 mile wide mountainous area covers approximately 4,600 square miles of the country. The area is preserved by the volunteers of Schwarzwaldverein (Black Forest Society), the oldest existing German hiking and mountaineering club.

This mountainous range is made up of gneiss rock, covered with a layer of sandstone. Some of the tallest mountains in this area include the Feldberg, Herzogenhorn, Belchen, Spieshorn, Schauinsland and Kandel. The Black Forest was an important mining region of the European continent in medieval times. Rivers such as the Danube, the Neckar, the Wiese and the Murg cut through the mountainous range, providing the region with ample water supply to preserve it's rich ecology. The tarn lakes present in this area, are evidence to the fact that the Black Forest was covered by glaciers during the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation.

The forested region here is particularly made up of pine and fir trees. Though, excessive lumbering has led to the depletion of forest cover in this area, efforts are being made to replenish it. The region is home to rare fauna such as horses known as the 'Black Forest Foxes' and the Hinterwalderberg cows. The giant earthworm, Lumbricus badensis, is only found in this area of the world.

The Black Forest is one of the booming tourist destinations in Germany. Tourists flock to the valleys in the vicinity of mountains like the Feldberg and the Belchen. Lakes like the Titisee and the Schluchsee also contribute to the beauty of this region. The Triberg waterfall on the river Gutach is one of the famous waterfalls in the Black Forest. The 14,000 mile network of backpacking trails present in this area, is suitable for activities such as cycling, trekking or cross-country running. For tourists who seek something other than nature, there are also a couple of museums like the Vogtsbauernhöfe; an open air museum showcasing the life of farmers of the region in 17th and 18th century, and the German Clock Museum in Furtwangen; displaying the history of the clock manufacturing industry. Even the mines dating back to medieval times have been re-opened as a tourism venture.

Lumbering is another prominent activity of people residing in this region. Wood carving has flourished as a cottage industry over the centuries. Cuckoo clocks and carved ornaments are items of fancy for tourists visiting this area. Farming, cattle rearing and other dairy related activities are practiced at a substantial level.

Other than nature, this place is also famous for legends and unique traditions that are practiced here even today. The fables rife about the area, makes the Black Forest even more exciting. According to one of the fables, water nymphs reside in the dark depths of the Mummel Lake in Baden while another talks about a king living in the deep waters of the lake, who drags women to his underwater kingdom. Then there are age-old traditions like the last grape harvest is brought home by a bullock-cart, as it is believed, that if they don't follow the tradition then the whole crop turns sour.

The Black Forest in Germany is truly a marvelous place that mother nature has bestowed upon humanity. It's truly a wonderful experience and everyone should pay a visit at least once in their lifetime.

What Is Travel Insurance for Backpackers?

To contact us Click HERE
Generally speaking, travel insurance is insurance proposed to manage economical default or non conformance of travel companies, professional medical spending, and other losses incurred whilst vacationing. These scenarios can occur either in a domestic vacation (touring in your own nation) or around the globe.

Within the travel insurance range, there are also a wide variety of insurances that present protection to a range of travelers. Amongst these are student vacationers, business travelers, adventure vacationers, cruise travelers, overseas tourists, and backpackers, to name a few. All of these different kinds of insurance coverage deliver a distinct protection relating to the type of traveler.

Travel insurance for backpackers in specific, is a specifically customized insurance that supplies an inexpensive coverage for backpackers roaming around globe. So whether sunning oneself on dream shorelines, working your way around, or studying overseas, you will most likely obtain a backpacker insurance coverage at inexpensive prices.

Backpackers insurance is among the most demanded insurance plans in the travel industry since the backpacking niche has become even more recognized throughout the years. Since these types of insurance policies are low-priced, backpackers travel insurance is popular among young adults who travel on minimal funds. Several insurance providers and insurance policies might regulate the insured age (probably 40 years or less, depending), the type of travel you do (for example, gap years), and the longevity of the vacation (weeks or months, and even years).
Quite often, these plans are personalized based mostly on the danger the backpacker will be subjected to; a protection for when the "what if" becomes real. And the truth is that vacationing on a budget often signifies that backpackers can be susceptible to a higher risk to accidents and injuries when abroad.

It comes without saying, that before purchasing your backpackers insurance, make sure to read everything - especially the fine prints - to know what's covered, what's not, and under what circumstances. As it has been pointed before, coverage varies from policy to policy.

Backpackers insurance coverage typically performs as an efficient and less expensive choice compared to a single trip insurance plan. It features an array of unique coverage extras such as adventurous activities and sports protection, among other activities often performed by backpackers. But be aware that a traveler does not need to be a backpacker, nor there is the need to be on a tight budget to take advantage from backpackers travel insurance.

Online Travel Deals

It is a fact that for many people, traveling has been considered a great way of spending their vacation time --- this, despite the fact that a large number of these people also travel extensively for work. Whether you're traveling for business or pleasure, you should be sure to investigate the variety of online travel deals available at your fingertips. If you don't, you're missing a great opportunity for saving money on your travel expenses.

Of course, there are some travelers who have plenty of money and don't worry about finding the best travel deals; however, if you're reading this article, we assume you're not in this camp!

Far and away the most popular place to find online deals these days is through the online travel aggregators such as Expedia, Travelocity, Kayak, and Priceline. Though many of them initially focused solely on one segment of travel (such as flights or hotels only), these sites now offer price comparison shopping for flights, hotels, car rentals, and even package deals combining multiple components. These types of sites scour the internet to try to provide the best deals for any imaginable itinerary --- Priceline even offers a 'name your own price' option to possibly get even better deals. These

Although the travel aggregators outlined above offer some great deals, don't overlook the possibility of travel agencies. Many travel agencies advertise their offers online, enabling potential travelers to find their holiday destinations with discount packages. The travel agencies often have deals available that aren't publicized on the large websites. Sometimes this is due to the agencies finding last minute deals; other times, it is due to the fact that only a limited number of discounted packages are available, and the packages never even get published online.



In addition to the travel aggregators and travel agencies, also consider the possibility of looking for discount travel through vendors directly. For example, if I see a United flight for $300 on Expedia, I sometimes check the same flight on United.com, and find a slightly better fare. The same can be true for hotels and car rentals.

Keep in mind while you're looking for your travel deals that booking early often times leads to greater discounts. Sure, there is the occasional great last minute deal, but a) those are not the norm, and b) you need to have an extremely flexible travel schedule to take advantage of these deals --- that's not too easy when you're trying to get your family away during your children's school spring break!

Pre Trip Inspection Checklist

To contact us Click HERE
We all believe that a pre trip inspection checklist for a school bus that is taking school kids for a trip to the local museum or aquarium is absolutely mandatory and should be conducted by all schools. However, when it comes to our own vehicles and a trip that we plan ourselves, we tend to take it a bit easy. We don't bother checking each and every single detail of our vehicle, and most often pay for it, literally and figuratively. We all know that conducting a pre trip inspection is all we need to do to avoid such a situation. But do we do it? Most probably not. That's because we're genetically engineered to realize our mistake only after we pay the price. But from this moment, that's about to change, We have for you a checklist for a road trip or a vacation that you may be planning, which involves the use of your own or a rented automobile. Check it out and use it.
Pre Trip Inspection Checklist for Vehicles

Whether it is a camping trip in the woods on the outskirts with your family or a road trip that you've planned with your friends, you simply must not compromise car safety in any way. Maximum accidents happen on the road and a major portion of those are due to the negligence of the driver. Negligence includes not conducting a thorough inspection using a complete vehicle safety checklist. Because honestly, if you don't bother to check to see if anything is wrong with the car parts, after knowing that you'll be using your vehicle continuously for quite some, then it's nothing short of rash and negligent behavior. Given below are all the things you need to keep in mind while checking your vehicle BEFORE you take it out for the long awaited trip.

Pre Trip Inspection Checklist for Vehicles
Exterior Inspection
  • Wheels: Check to see that the tires have enough air and tire pressure. Make sure that they have a proper tread. Also check rims, lug nuts and check that the hub oil seals are not leaking
  • Lights: Check the headlights to see that they work properly. Flash and check for high beam and low beam. Check the fog lights. Also check all the indicators: front and back, right and left. Also check that the hazard lights are properly working. Also the brake lights, stop lights and parking lights need to be checked.
  • Suspension: The spring mount, springs and shock absorbers need to be checked for wear and tear.Glasses: Glasses include thd mirrors and the windshield. Make sure they are clean and free from dirt and grime. Wash them clean before setting out. The windshield wipers should also be checked.
Interior Inspection
  • Engine: First things first, start the engine and check if it's giving you any ignition problem. If not, then go for the next things to be checked like the engine oil level and the coolant level. Also check the air compressor belts, the water pump, alternator and the power steering for any possible problems.
  • Steering: Check the power steering fluid level. Also, start the engine and check if the vehicle moves easily with the use of minimal strain. That is the point of a power steering. Blow the horn and make sure it is loud and clear.
  • Battery: Make sure that the car battery is not worn out. Check all the connections to see that they are secure and there are no loose ends. Also make sure that the battery box is not corroded or damaged in any way.
  • Brakes: Make sure there is enough brake fluid. Start the car, go ahead an inch and brake immediately. Make sure the brakes do not squeal or screech. Also check the emergency brake in the same manner.
  • Seats: Check all the seats in the car for comfort and jagged edges. Check all the seat belts. If you're going to be taking a kid along, make sure the required car seat or booster is installed.
Apart from these items in the pre trip inspection checklist, there is one more thing, which need not really even be mentioned, because it is very common sense. Remember to check the level of fuel in your vehicle before you leave for the trip. Else you'll be stranded in the middle of nowhere with a perfectly functional car that has nothing in its tank. So, use this checklist and save yourself from a disastrous trip.

Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is by far the most popular cultural and religous festival in Delhi during which millions of Hindus and Sikhs lit traditional lamps, known as diyas and make rangolis, a colorful pattern drawn on floor. Fireworks is also an integral part of Diwali festivities. Buddha Jayanti, a festival celebarating the birth of Gautama Buddha is also a popular festival in Delhi. Several other famous events such as Kite Flying Festival, International Mango Festival and Basant Panchami or Spring Festival are held every year in Delhi. The Qutub Festival is a cultural event organized by Delhi Tourism Department every year in October during which performances of musicians and dancers from all over India are showcased at night, with the 12th-century Qutub Minar as the chosen backdrop of the event.
