During the months when flu and other respiratory viruses circulate more intensely in Spain, it is only natural for many people to take extra precautions in their daily lives. Enclosed spaces, frequently touched surfaces and shared objects can cause concern. In this context, a common question is whether a rental car could pose a risk. In the case of Cafisa Rent a Car, the answer is clear: the level of cleaning and sanitisation applied makes the risk of contagion extremely low.
This is not an empty promise or an improvised measure, but a consistent working protocol that has been fully integrated into the company’s daily operations for many years.
A cleaning process that goes beyond what is visible
At Cafisa Rent a Car, every vehicle undergoes a thorough cleaning process between rentals. This process is not limited to appearance or simply making the car “look clean”, but focuses on real contact areas, the parts that drivers and passengers touch continuously.
These include:
- Steering wheel
- Gear lever
- Handbrake
- Interior and exterior door handles
- Dashboard buttons
- Touchscreens
- Seat belts
These surfaces are cleaned and disinfected using products specifically designed for automotive use, effective against viruses and bacteria while remaining safe for vehicle materials.
Interior sanitisation
One of the least visible, yet most important aspects is the sanitisation of the vehicle’s interior. Cafisa pays special attention to ventilation and air renewal inside the car, as well as to the treatment of textile and plastic surfaces.
Respiratory viruses, such as influenza, do not survive well on clean, dry surfaces, and their ability to spread is significantly reduced when proper and regular cleaning protocols are applied. As a result, a correctly sanitised vehicle offers a much safer environment than many other enclosed spaces used on a daily basis.
Controlled fleet and continuous maintenance
Unlike large, mass-operated fleets with high and impersonal vehicle turnover, Cafisa Rent a Car works with a controlled fleet. This allows for close monitoring of each vehicle and makes it easier to detect issues, reinforce cleaning when necessary and maintain consistent standards across all cars.
Ongoing maintenance is not only mechanical, but also hygienic. A well-maintained vehicle is easier to clean, better ventilated and keeps its materials in better condition, reducing the build-up of dirt and microorganisms.
Peace of mind for customers, without exaggeration
It is important to be clear: no shared environment can be considered completely risk-free in absolute terms. However, with the protocols applied by Cafisa Rent a Car, the likelihood of contagion through a rental car is highly unlikely, especially when compared to other common spaces such as public transport or crowded establishments.
In addition, customers benefit from a key factor, control of their environment. Once the vehicle is collected, its use is exclusive, allowing for ventilation, climate control adjustment and the maintenance of basic personal hygiene habits.
Commitment to trust and responsibility
For Cafisa Rent a Car, cleanliness is not a one-off marketing message, but a responsibility towards the customer. Trust is built through attention to detail, something we have always prioritised, from a car that smells clean to well-maintained surfaces and an immediate sense of order and safety.
During periods of increased virus circulation, this way of working provides additional peace of mind, especially for families, older people or customers who simply want to travel with greater confidence.
In a context where flu is present with notable intensity in Spain, choosing a properly sanitised rental car makes a real difference. Thanks to its rigorous cleaning protocols, controlled fleet and responsible approach, Cafisa Rent a Car offers its customers a safe and reliable environment where the risk of contagion is minimal.
Because travelling with peace of mind begins long before you start the engine.
