Practical Information for Your Journey

Several days before your departure, check your vehicle for any technical defects. This will allow you to avoid a possible delay on departure day and ensure you arrive on time to catch your flight stress-free.

Mandatory Vehicle Checks

This includes checking the engine oil and coolant levels, as well as the pressure of your tires. Don't forget to check the pressure of the spare tire to be ready for any eventuality on the road. When checking your vehicle, also remember to inspect the functionality of your lights.
