If you’re touring around California with your San Francisco discount car rental, be sure to keep the following beach essentials in your vehicle!
Towel
This is the ultimate beach staple! Dry yourself off after some time in the sea or use it as a barrier between yourself and the sand. Easily compressible, a towel will fit snuggly into any space in your San Francisco discount car rental.
Sunscreen
Director Baz Lurhman was absolutely right when he encouraged the class of ’97 to wear sunscreen. The sun in California can be unbearable, so you definitely want to protect your skin. A nice sun-kissed glow is one thing, but skin that looks like it’s made of leather – or worse, skin cancer – is definitely another thing.
Pack Some Water in Your San Francisco Discount Car Rental
Just as we mentioned above that the sun can be unbearable, so can the heat. California stays fairly warm year round, but the summer months are scorchers! Be vigilant about your hydration and always have water on hand. In addition, keep yourself aware of the signs of heat stroke and what to do if you start showing symptoms.
Sunglasses
Not only are these a great fashion accessory, but they’re good for you too! The sun can damage your eyes, so protect your peepers as you would your skin. In addition, the sun can negatively affect your vision when you’re driving your San Francisco discount car rental around. Keep your eyes and yourself safe and keep a pair of sunglasses in the car!

Pool Toys
Pool toys don’t just have to stay in the pool! Make the beach water that much more fun with things like noodles or something to float on in the water. Stash them in the trunk of your San Francisco discount car rental and always have some amusement on hand.
Don’t Forget the Water Safety!
If you’re unsure of how to swim or have little ones with you, then always keep life jackets or water wings on hand. Don’t deprive anyone of some much-needed splashing about in the waves. Just make sure you have the equipment required so that everyone stays safe.
Pack a Good Book
Whether you are soaking in some sun (wearing sunscreen, of course!) or on a beach chair, under an umbrella, a good book is the perfect complement to a lazy day on the beach! Keep a book in the glove compartment of your San Francisco discount car rental and never be bored, no matter where you are!
Protect Your Feet with Flip Flops
Have you ever walked on sand when the temperature is scorching hot? Yee-ouch! To avoid cooking your feet while on the beach, wear flip flops. Sand will still get in the way, but your feet will be much more protected – and comfortable.
A Cover Up
For those of you who are a tad more modest and don’t want to walk around the beach clad in your swimsuit, pack a cover-up. The beach is supposed to be fun, not about feeling self-conscious. If you’re worried about people staring (they aren’t), put your mind at ease and bring something to throw on if needed.
A Swimsuit
What is the point in going to the beach if you don’t have a swimsuit? Keep your favourite piece tucked in with the rest of your beach essentials in your San Francisco discount car rental.
Now you are truly ready to hit the sand or the waves at a moment’s notice! If you need transportation to get to the beach, book your car rental reservation now!
