Rental Vehicles

Midway’s standard operating procedures before each rental include a complete vehicle cleaning and disinfecting of interior surfaces. This includes, but is not limited to, the complete steering wheel and controls, door handles and any buttons, radio and climate controls, seat adjustments, cup holders, arm rests, trunk area, seat belt buckles, and more.

The rental agency washes the exterior and vacuums and wipes the interior of all cars according to CDC guidelines. The inside of the vehicles are cleaned and disinfected with a variety of commercial grade products.

Midway has recently added the use of UV sanitizing wands for the interior of its vehicles. Ionic water is used for spot free car drying to eliminate the use of towels and decrease the spread of contaminants.

Additionally, all employees that are cleaning and sanitizing the vehicles, wear masks and gloves.

Shuttles

All shuttle drivers wear a mask and gloves, and signage on the van mandates face coverings. The shuttle is cleaned and sanitized after every shuttle trip.

Additionally, seats have been removed to encourage social distancing in the vehicle. Clients also enter the back of the van to avoid contact with the driver.
