a)As you are walking to your car, act as if you are talking drivingwith someone on your cell phone, even if you are not. Let a would-be attacker think that you are not alone and have someone to scream to.
b)When nearing your hotel late at night, phone ahead and ask for an escort to meet you at the main door. Hotels would rather have you request an escort than to risk your safety in their parking lots. With 68% of women travelers having reported traveling solo at least once in the past three years, this is a great tactic for ensuring your safety.
c)Place maps, car rental agreements, GPS systems and anything else that marks you as a tourist into the car's glove compartment or your bag so it is not visible.

Hi

Pay the driver upon arriving at your destination and while you are still sitting in the vehicle.

If you must rent a car, rent only from a reputable company. Any operating problems that occur could signal sabotage.

Be aware of 'staged' car accidents meant to catch you off card.

Back into your parking spaces to facilitate a quick exit.

Park only in well lit and well traveled areas.

If your cell phone does not work outside of the country, consider renting one that does for the duration of your trip.

If detained for whatever reason by an official, ask for identification. If in doubt, tell them that you want to see his superior. Keep your emotions in check.

Thanks
