•    In the next 1-2 minutes, you should check for the wellness of the car. It is important to check whether the car is running smoothly with no strange noise or technical issue.

•    The next moment, look up for the switches of car heater or air conditioner. Switch them on to see whether the system, works well, while you check up for other controls.

•    The next minute, you have to check for the   SPS system and Map. The car rental companies in Singapore generally offer map as well as GPS system for the convenience or safety of the drivers. Spend few seconds on this to check whether you can understand it easily or not.

•    While taking the test drive, check whether you are comfortable with the controls of the car. For instance, at the fuel pump, it should not happen that you are opening the trunk, windshield wipers, door locks, or rear windows instead of the fuel tank lid.

•    Also, you must not forget to check the emergency brakes for the worst situation.
