- Remove the battery and store it separately (ideally connected to a trickle charger).
- Don’t leave any perishable or hazardous items in your car.
- Slightly overinflate the tyres.
- Fill up with petrol to prevent moisture build-up in the tank.
- Add a fuel stabiliser if storing your car for longer than a month.
- Consider investing in a car cover.
- Raise your windshield wipers or wrap them in soft cloths to prevent marks on your windshield.
- Check with your car insurance if you get a discount on your premiums while you’re not driving your vehicle.
