Keeping Your Car Cool in the Spanish Summer by COYS RENT-A-CAR

In Spain, a car parked in the sun can exceed 60°C inside! Here’s how to stay safe and protect your vehicle:

—

Park Smart

Seek shade — trees, walls, or covered areas.

Use reflective sunshades on windscreen & windows.

Remove sunshades before driving.

—

Protect the Interior

Cover steering wheel & seats with light towels.

Use dashboard covers or foil blankets.

Apply UV spray to interior plastics.

—

Ventilation Tricks

Open all doors before entering to release hot air.

Try the “Japanese trick” (fan rear door with front open).

Leave windows slightly open — only in safe areas.

—

Modern Gadgets

Use solar-powered fans.

Remote-start A/C if your car allows it.

Tinted windows reduce interior heating.
