Curbside rental pick-ups and digital receipts
Drop-offs that do not require contact with agency staff (if there is any damage to the car, take photos)
Before booking a rental car, check to make sure that the office where you plan to pick up the vehicle is still open. Many of the major companies have temporarily closed locations where demand is low or risk is high. Visit the companyâs website for updated information about their operations during the pandemic.
TAXIS AND RIDESHARES
For short rides, taxis, and rideshares like Uber or Lyft may be less risky than using public transportation but, because it is impossible to maintain 6 feet of social distance from other passengers in a car, itâs still important to take precautions during the ride.
In a taxi or rideshare, minimize potential virus transmission by wearing a mask and requesting that the driver does, too (in many cities itâs a requirement). In fact, Uber now requires both riders and drivers to wear masks and before a driver can accept a trip, they must take a photo to verify that they have one on. The company also advises riders to no longer sit in the front passenger seat to maximize social distancing. The plastic barrier between driver and passengers found in some taxis provides an extra layer of protection. Since virus particles can be spread through ventilation systems, leave the air-conditioning off. Instead, maximize air flow by opening windows. Studies show that opening just one window three inches wide can keep virus particles from accumulating inside the car.
While taxi and rideshare drivers are being encouraged to frequently clean the interior of their vehicles, itâs likely most arenât wiping down hot spots between each ride. Minimize your exposure by touching only what you have to (seat belts, door handles, and window switches) and keep your hands away from your face. When you get out of the car, sanitize your hands immediately and wash them with soap as soon as possible.
