A used car test drive is your opportunity to find out whether a vehicle fits your driving style, daily routine, and technology needs. Bringing a few key items can help you evaluate the vehicle more thoroughly and streamline the buying process if you decide it's the right fit. Here are the essentials the team at Fields Pre-Owned St. Augustine recommends bringing with you.
Driver’s License
A valid driver's license is required before taking a vehicle on a test drive. For insurance and liability purposes, our team will verify your license before handing over the keys, so be sure to bring it, even if someone else is driving you to the dealership.
Trade-In Documentation
If you're planning to trade in your current vehicle, bring any paperwork you've already completed, including an online trade-in estimate or financing prequalification if applicable. Our team can inspect your vehicle, answer any questions about its value, and discuss how it may factor into your purchase.
Essential Gear
Bring the items you use every day so you can see how the vehicle fits your lifestyle. We also recommend that you bring the essential gear that you routinely carry in your vehicle. That includes your phones, which you should test to see if it connects to the infotainment system via Bluetooth®, Android Auto™, or Apple CarPlay®, if it supports them. Other items you may want to include:
- Sunglasses (to check visibility)
- A reusable water bottle or travel mug (to test cup holders)
- A stroller, golf clubs, or sports equipment if cargo space is a priority
If you'll be transporting children, bring your child or booster seat to verify that it installs securely using the vehicle's LATCH system or seat belts.
