There is always much debate about locking cars at the beach and leaving items locked in the trunks, etc. Some companies will suggest you leave nothing anywhere in the car, not even locked in the trunk and leave it locked WHENEVER you are away from it. Others may suggest you lock everywhere but at the beaches, but still....leave nothing in your car anywhere, not even at the beach. Best suggestion is to ask your rental car agent how HE wants you to handle the matter.

We go to the beach leaving nothing anywhere in the car, the doors are unlocked and the windows slightly rolled down. This is okay with our agent and it potentially saves him the damage that might be done if someone wanted to break into the locked car. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
