The monsoon brings heavy rain and waterlogged streets to much of Bangladesh. With a few precautions, your self-drive trip stays safe and stress-free.
Slow down and increase distance
Wet roads reduce grip. Reduce speed and leave extra space to brake.
Beware of waterlogging
Avoid driving through deep water — you cannot always see potholes or open drains beneath the surface. If in doubt, find another route.
Keep visibility clear
Use your wipers, defogger and headlights. Make sure the car's lights are clean before you set off.
Check tyres and brakes
Good tyre tread matters most in the rain. Run through our pre-trip checklist before every journey.
If you get stuck
- Do not restart a car that has stalled in deep water.
- Turn on hazard lights and move to safety.
- Call our 24/7 support — you are never alone on the road.
