Daily Car Hire from £10 for August Bank Holiday

Leave a comment

22 August 2011 — RTPR — Award-winning car hire price comparator Carrentals.co.uk is advising UK travellers that there are still incredibly low rates available on rentals for the upcoming Bank Holiday in August. For just £10 per day, car hire can be had at many hot getaway spots such as Mallorca, Nice and others.

The world’s leading rental car companies such as Hertz, Budget and Avis are holding their summer rates low for the end of the summer travel season. Brits can still enjoy superb value deals on car hire in favourite locations around Greece, the south of France and the Mediterranean – with deals on show for as little as £30 for a three day package.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “Whether it’s a car hire in Menorca booking or the French Alps the tourist is looking for, great value rental rates are available on cars for this long weekend in August. The car hire companies are enjoying a good year, and they want to maintain this level of business throughout the summer’s end.”

“Because this is last Bank Holiday of the year and it is such a busy travel period, it is particularly important to make rental bookings early. Popular items like sat nav, infant safety seats or vehicles like a 4×4 or people carrier often sell out ahead of time during holidays. You can avoid disappointment by simply making a reservation in advance.”

Carrentals.co.uk, the top online rental car rate comparator, lists the latest specials and prices from international rental firms like Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt, and has processed over 650,000 rentals to date.

The Avid Cruiser’s Six Tips To Extract More Joy From Your Cruise

Leave a comment

Balcony or inside cabin? Small ship or big ship? Award-winning travel journalist Ralph Grizzle offers Six Tips For Smooth Sailing.

Asheville, NC, Monday – August 22, 2011 — It’s one thing to get a great deal, but it’s another to budget so tightly that you extract any possibility for pleasure on your cruise. Yes, inside cabins are cheaper than balcony cabins, but balcony cabins can be much more rewarding.

Of course, only you can know how much moolah you’re willing to part with for the best possible cruise vacation. So balance your budget against these recommendations. No one is asking that you break the bank, but don’t squeeze the nickel so hard that you choke the buffalo. How to get the most from your cruise?

Award-winning travel journalist gives his opinion at http://www.avidcruiser.com. His article, “Six Tips To Extract More Joy From Your Cruise (http://bit.ly/auwlWF)” tackles this issue from the perspective of a journalist who has sailed on more than 200 cruises and written more than 1,500 articles about cruising on his blog.

One of Grizzle’s tips: Balcony Cabins Are Best. “You’ve heard the argument time and again that as you’re only sleeping there, inside cabins are a better value,” Grizzle writes. “Perhaps, but if you enjoy a room with a view, book a balcony. From my balcony, I have watched the sun paint pastel on the morning sky during the three-hour transit of Stockholm’s archipelago. On another morning, I dined on coffee and croissants as our ship glided past a captivating landscape to Kotor. I’ve pulled back the curtains to gaze on glaciers in Alaska and admire the fjords of Norway. Don’t be penny-wise and pound foolish. You only get one shot at seeing some of the world’s marvels. Book a balcony and step outside for a breath of fresh air and a view that will last a lifetime.”
