Hire Car Comparator Gives Travellers the Lowdown on Overpaying for Rental Insurance

July 19, 2011 EPR Network Leave a comment

19 July 2011 – /RTPR/ – Few things frustrate travellers more than paying for things they don’t need. How much insurance to buy for a rental car is one of the most confusing issues out there, but Carrentals.co.uk has written an online guide to help people avoid paying for cover they don’t need.

After polling some of the two million Brits who rent a car during the summer holiday season, Carrentals.co.uk discovered that the most common annoyance was the pressure exerted by rental agents to purchase additional coverage at the time of pick up. Most of the time, extra coverage in unnecessary and can add up to £2,000 to the bill.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, comments: “Having the right amount of coverage on a rental car is important, but most car hire companies try to take advantage of their customers by pushing them to buy extra insurance. It’s an annoying game they play, and sadly often neglects the most frequent trouble areas like lost keys or damaged windscreens.”

The rules of the road regarding proper rental insurance cover is nicely presented in a new video by carrentals.co.uk that can be viewed at http://www.carrentals.co.uk/extras/car-hire-insurance. They also have an excellent site devoted to common questions and the correct answers at http://forum.carrentals.co.uk/collision-damage-waiver-excess-insurance.

“One of our goals is to arm travellers with the right information to help them manage their budget effectively,” Gareth adds. “The video lays it all out there in black and white so that you won’t feel pressured to pay for cover you don’t really need. There definitely is a good case for buying extra cover, so we’ve created our own policy for our clients that tosses out the unnecessary things and keeps the good ones at a price everyone can appreciate.”

Customers of Carrentals.co.uk can now take advantage of a new insurance policy that is up to 60% cheaper than similar cover offered directly by the rental companies. With savings of £75 or more on offer, it is a great alternative for travellers tired of playing the mind games commonly associated with car rental firms.

Carrentals.co.uk is Britain’s number one hire car comparator site, listing the latest price and deals from 50 rental agencies such as Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt, in over 15,000 popular locations.

Latest Cash-Making Hire Car Schemes Carry Problems says Carrentals.co.uk

July 8, 2011 EPR Network Leave a comment

8 July 2011 – /RTPR/ – Online car hire comparison specialist Carrentals.co.uk – the website which saves the country’s motorists money on car rental wherever they are travelling – has reported that car owners need to be careful if indulging in the latest car hire money generation schemes.

Whipcar is an example of the schemes motorists are using, with the intention of the schemes to make some additional case for car owners. Online car hire comparator Carrentals.co.uk is however counselling people that they should be careful what they expect on the back end of renting their car to someone.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, comments: “We have a huge amount of expertise in helping people save money on their car hire needs all around the world. Whether people want to book car hire in France or find ski trip rentals on a budget we are able to help and to guide them through the various pitfalls involved.”

“These new programmes such as Whipcar may seem like good ways to make money – but people need to know that their own car won’t be as carefully maintained as it would be by themselves. There are all sorts of problems which can occur or cause disputes – food spillages, wrong petrol, poor treatment of the car in general et cetera. So we are warning people to be aware of this kind of thing.”

“We can get people cars from top name providers for about the same prices – so we can offer hirers greater comfort and peace of mind knowing that they are not hiring from someone emotionally connected to the vehicle in the first place.”

“We appreciate that people want to make a bit of extra cash but these kinds of schemes really do contain potential problems – so people need to go into them with their eyes open.”

Carrentals.co.uk is the leading car hire comparison site which compares deals from up to 50 rental companies, including Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt, in over 15,000 locations worldwide, including car hire at Geneva Airport and across the USA.

Cooktorial, a recipes application, available for iPhone and iPod Touch

June 8, 2011 EPR Network Leave a comment

Jun 08 2011 /RTPR/ – Athens, Greece – WEBST Consulting S.A., a mobile application developer, proudly announces the launch of its new project, «Cooktorial», available for iPhone and iPod Touch. Cooktorial is a recipes application, mainly addressed to the novice cook, although it can be of value to the more skilled cook as well, given that its main idea is to suggest what can be cooked based solely on the ingredients already available at home.

In fact, the main attribute setting Cooktorial apart from the rest of the cooking applications available on App Store is that, using Cooktorial, one can browse recipes which can be cooked using ingredients they already have, instead of finding a recipe which will, almost certainly, require a visit to the super-market. Cooktorial implements an easy-to-use interface, a database of over 1.000 recipes, images and thorough description of each recipe, as well as providing the user with the option of filtering the results by preparation time, cuisine type and difficulty level.

Furthermore, with a single tap the user can generate a list with the most commonly found ingredients, which can be easily edited and will be automatically stored for future use.

Last but not least, using Cooktorial does not require an internet connection, allowing thus the user to browse recipes without the use of a 3G or a Wi-Fi network. Cooktorial is a Free application available on Apple’s App Store. Users may enhance it by purchasing any of the two available In Apps, allowing them to perform unlimited number of searches within the app and to remove the Ads.

iTunes link on the App: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cooktorial/id438634449?mt=8
Cooktorial’s Website: http://www.cooktorial.net
