How to protect your personal information when retuning your rental car

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 16:56:07 GMT

Have you ever rented a vehicle and found an unfamiliar contact list when trying to connect a phone to the car’s infotainment system? Turns out, the information may belong to an earlier renter of the automobile.This is happening more often as states require drivers to go hands free behind the wheel, but it serves as a reminder that there are steps to take to protect your personal information when renting a vehicle.If you want to connect your phone to any vehicle you intend to use temporarily, if you can, try to choose a car that has Apple Car Play if you are an iPhone user or Android Auto for Android users.Both Apple and Android said their car connection systems do not store phone book and other information on the vehicle’s system, so selecting cars that support Apple Car Play or Android Auto is best.Do remember to keep a charging cable handy, since some vehicles require you to plug your phone into a USB port to use Apple Car Play.The loading of your phone book mostly hap...

Maryland man has a lofty adventure goal: achieve the explorer’s grand slam

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 16:56:07 GMT

For years, Seb Audy has visualized achieving the explorer’s grand slam. It’s an adventurer’s challenge that includes scaling the world’s highest seven mountain peaks and reaching the North and South poles.To say it’s difficult is an understatement, Audy said. But the Chevy Chase, Maryland, resident has a strategy.“There’s a simple equation. You need to have a vision,” he said. “Then you need to have a strategy and a plan. And then execute with discipline and consistency.”Fewer than 70 people worldwide have achieved the grand slam. Audy has already climbed the mountains, from Everest to Vinson. Last year, he braved bone-chilling temperatures to reach the South Pole on skis.The last leg in his adventure goal, a ski expedition to the North Pole, has been canceled three years in a row. He plans to try again in April.“It’s very disappointing,” said Audy, who lives and trains in Maryland. “It’s a little bit like if you’re an Olympic athlete and two weeks before the Olympics, you’re being ...
