What to pack for a Miami vacation?
To enjoy your Slingshot rental trip safely, there are few things you need to carry.
Driver`s license
Slingshot belongs to the vehicle category, so to rent it there will be a need for your driver`s license. If you are in a group, then the one who will control the steering wheel must possess a driver`s license. Non-driving adults and kids are allowed to ride as passengers and share the thrill!
[In Florida, a person more than 25 years is eligible for Slingshot Rental].
Sunglasses and hat
Miami skies are an excellent background for spectacular photography, but brilliant blue-sky glares are hard for the eyes. Bring sunglasses and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. Sunrays don`t just hurt the eyes, but even your head, so carry a hat or cap.
Proper clothing and sunscreen
Sunscreen prevents painful sunburns. Top-less seems cool in summer, but UV protective clothing offers better protection against ultra-violet rays. The slingshots do not have roofs and in South Florida`s weather you will get a sunburn year round. Miami and South Beach are always in the 80`s and 90`s with clear skys.
