Driver prep is often overlooked but crucial. Before I hand van keys to employees, I make sure they’re ready. Octane Rent actually provides basic commercial vehicle training which helps. Best practices from https://www.consultancy-me.com/news/12463/small-business-checklist-for-renting-commercial-vans-in-dubai-during-holiday-seasons-and-sales include: verify drivers have appropriate license for commercial vehicles, brief them on van size and handling (different from cars), explain company liability if they damage van, give clear instructions on what to do if breakdown occurs, provide emergency contacts, review parking rules in Dubai (no-parking zones, mall loading docks), discuss fuel management and Salik routing. During holidays drivers are under pressure with tight delivery windows – proper prep prevents costly mistakes. Maybe do practice run before actual peak hits so they’re comfortable with the van.
