When leasing a vehicle, take an extra few minutes and get completely acquainted and comfortable with the knobs, switches, and controls. It can be extremely dangerous, for instance, to run into rain and not know where the windshield wiper controls are located and how to use them. Ditto with the light switches and the emergency flasher button.
If the woman traveling alone is taking prescription medications, she should carry the actual vial with the pertinent data clear and up to date. While "pill boxes" are sometimes convenient, one needs the specifics of prescription medications in an emergency.
When leaving your personal vehicle at an airport parking lot prior to taking off, note the identifying parking slot number, floor or area and jot it down on your flight itinerary packet. Also pay attention to the placement of overhead lights and attempt to park directly under one if possible.
