However, the feeling of exhaustion and tiredness kicks in much faster than expected and the journey becomes hard work. The online price comparison website, carhiremarket.com, has some tips and knows exactly what one can do to regain energy and stay fit on the long-haul drives.

During journeys with a rental car which longer than 3 hours, is it very important to take regular driving breaks. These breaks are not only the perfect time to grab a bite but also a great opportunity to get some fresh air and stretch the legs. Perhaps one can have a break next to the road and go for a short walk to explore the surroundings or stretch the body while standing and enjoying a snack. In this way one´s body can relax and unwind and one will have renewed energy levels for the drive in the rental car ahead.

Carhiremarket.com has the following tips for drivers to regain energy while taking a break: Exercise 1 – Spinal stretch: Stand upright with slightly bend knees next to the rental car and reach with one arm upwards over your head while you push the other arm downwards. Hold this position for a moment and then change your arms and repeat.

Exercise 2 – Twists: Stand with slightly bend knees next to the rental car, put your hands on your sides and try to relax. Then, twist your waist alternating to both sides and swinging your arms out fully letting them flap along. The movement will automatically realign your back and is also good for your internal organs. Exercise 3 – Leg stretch: Stand on one foot and place the heel of the other foot on the bumper of the rental car. You can also open the door of the hired car and put your foot on the door frame. Bend over and touch your toes, hold a moment and then change legs to repeat this fitness exercise.

By practicing these simple exercises one can optimise the time spent during the break to help improve the bod's driving fitness. If an additional driver has been named in the car hire agreement, one should share the driving responsibilities with someone else from time to time. When these driving tips are being followed and drivers take sufficient breaks, they will arrive at their destination refreshed and fit to enjoy their destination.
