Don’t we all love the little luxuries that modern cars bring? The heated seats, adaptive cruise control, keyless entry, and the irresistible joy of trying to operate the built-in navigation system. As drivers in this golden age of automotive comfort, we’re utterly spoiled.
And yet, for all the marvels of modern motoring, one feature has become the universal villain of the roads: LED headlights. Brilliant when they’re on your car – blinding when they’re on anyone else’s. Many drivers have compared the experience to being interrogated, dazzled by stadium floodlights, or even feeling like they’re re-enacting a scene from Close Encounters.
So when life gives you lemons, what do you do? You turn them into nighttime sunglasses. Naturally.
Today, we’re thrilled to introduce a brand new add-on available with every rental: Nighttime sunglasses & SPF sunscreen! These cutting‑edge accessories have been expertly selected to offer you a little extra comfort and protection against the aggressive dazzle and glare of modern day LED headlights, perfect for when the road ahead gets unexpectedly bright.
Ordinary sunglasses for extraordinary brightness
Traditionally reserved for sunny afternoons and beach holidays, sunglasses are now venturing into the nighttime space. Chances are you’ll already have one or two kicking around in your luggage, but with modern headlights achieving luminosity levels previously thought exclusive to small stars, we felt the reassurance of a provider-supplied emergency pair wouldn’t go amiss.
Our sunglasses are:
- tinted
- wearable
- adaptable for daytime use
Additional protection
Our industry‑leading Top‑up insurance isn’t the only thing keeping you protected on the road. With very little research available on how modern LED headlights might affect the skin, we’re choosing to stay ahead of the curve by offering a simple precaution: sunscreen. Adding a small, familiar bottle to your glovebox ensures you have an extra layer of protection should your nights be a little brighter than expected.
Our sunscreen is:
- not tinted
- wearable
- adaptable for daytime use
How to add these extras to your booking
Just like our other optional extras, you’ll find our ‘Nighttime driving essentials’ available during the booking process. Add them to your rental if you’d prefer a more comfortable, controlled, and less blinding nighttime driving experience.
They’re available from April 1st – a date chosen entirely at random and not symbolic in any way whatsoever.

You are really taking care of your customers. I will surely add these on my next booking. As a Canadian living close to the US border, I am used to being around clowns. Had a great laugh reading this and the assinine A.R.S.E. initiative.
