Travel Tip: Bring An Air Freshener For The Rental Car

Refresh Your Car! Vent Sticks…your rental probably needs them.

You never know what you’re going to get with rental cars, so expect the worst and bring an air freshener. The last time I rented a car it reeked of cigarettes so much that people were questioning if I had a new habit when I arrived. Yuck. To avoid this, bring or buy an air freshener. Since it’s bad enough you’re driving around in a rental, don’t add to your embarrassment with a scented tree hanging from your mirror. Get one that is a little bit more discrete. We like the Refresh Your Car! vent sticks that slide right into the air conditioning vent. No one even notices them. Just make sure they are in a vent that’s not blowing directly on you or your new personal fragrance may be Alpine Meadow…which if strong enough could be worse than the cigarette smell to begin with.
