    • Wet Seats
    • Sand Everywhere in car especially under the foot rubber mat.
    • Sand everywhere on seats, driving consoles, dashboard, door panels, center console, etc..
    • Some sand is to be expected in the car and it is very unlikely to avoid any, we just ask that you reduce the amount of sand as much as possible as per instructions located in the car. Beach Sand has very high salt content that causes rust to easily damage our cars. Therefore, we kindly ask our clients to keep this in mind all the time.
