Will
it be cheaper when i get there
by pre-booking
car rental you know exactly what the fully inclusive price is and
you will not have to pay any extras for compulsory insurance , taxes
etc. car rental prices charged at your destination may be higher as
there is often only one supplier and therefore no competition to keep
prices down.
we'll
get taxis
the
taxi journeys to and from the airport alone can cost the same as a
week's car rental and with your own hired car you have added flexibility
of going where you want, when you want during your holiday. taxis
can also be very unreliable about turning up on time.
We'll
use local transport
this
is not the safest or most reliable way of getting around on holiday
particularly when you have just arrived at the airport. why wait for
an overcrowded stuffy bus when you could be on a beach or lying by
the pool
our
transfers are free
a
lot of valuable time can be wasted waiting for transfer buses to take
you to your accommodation. transfers can often return you to the airport
hours before your departure time.
We'll
be going on planned excursions
excursions
nowadays can each cost as much as a week's car rental! excursions
can drag out a visit that need only take up to one morning or afternoon.
if you had your own transport you can stop where and when you want
at a time that suits you. Why be held to a fixed schedule - it's your
vacation.
we're
on a special offer package deal
generally
with these holidays you do not know where you are going to until you
get there, you can still pick your car up at the airport.
i
can't drive
find
out if anyone else going with you can, you can divide the cost between
you and make it even cheaper.
i
drive for a living
you
are obviously a good driver and you would find driving abroad extremely
easy. it would be a shame not to see as much of your holiday destination
as possible. you don't have to have a car for the full duration or
you could get someone else to share the driving with you
we
won't understand the signs
a stop
sign is a stop sign in any language. simply ask if there are any unusual
signs or driving rules you should be advised of when you collect your
car.
we're
on a package holiday
you
will probably find times when you want a rest from everyone else,
this is when having a car will be a great bonus to give you the freedom
to do what you want when you want.
we're
visiting friends and relatives
you
will want to spent time on your own. being chauffeured around by friends
and relatives can be a strain on the best relationships. a car rental
would be a great way to avoid the problem
aren't
we too old to be driving
in
most cases if you have a valid driving licence you will be able to
drive, if you can't perhaps someone else travelling can. if you are
not sur check with reservations before you book.
aren't
i too young to rent a car
if
you are over 21 and hold a valid full driving licence then it shouldn't
be a problem. the main stipulation is that you have had the licence
for at least one year. if you are not sure check before you book.
i
don't want to drive on the right
thousands
of people do every year with no problem. usually after a short while
it gets easier and easier.
we'll
book with our tour operator
in
some cases this will be with a local car hire company who will want
to be paid in cash, eating into your holiday spending money
i
don't have a UK licence
we
have access to over 4000 locations worldwide, were used to it. call
reservations to confirm that car rental is possible. if not you could
ask another member of the party to drive instead.
we
want a fly-drive you get a free car
there
is no such thing as a free car. you often pay more overall for the
free car than you would for booking a fully inclusive car rental
we
just want to sit on the beach all day
fine,
but why limit yourself. why sit on the same crowded beach everyday,
with a car you could enjoy a different beach or destination each day
i've
just paid for my holiday and i am skint
you
could still reserve your car with a deposit. this will make sure you
get a car incase they run out - it can happen
we'll
only want a car if it rains
so
will everyone else. if you don't pre-book you might not be able to
get one. plus there are many other benefits to having a car anyway
we
always book locally, they give us a good price
by
booking before you go you get great prices and make sure you get the
car grade you want in advance.
i
had a bad experience in the past
we
can offer you a 24 hour help line to help sort out any problems.
it's
too expensive!
you
can usually pay a deposit and with our price guarantee you can be
sure you are getting a good deal. having a car may also help save
you money on excursions when on holiday
we
always book with our holiday representative
availability
of cars may be a problem and the rate you are offered may not be fully
inclusive.
we
won't all fit in one car
we
have access to a wide range of vehicles to suit parties of most sizes.
minibuses and minivans are available in most resorts and offer a very
economical way of transporting a large group of people.
i
don't have a clean driving licence
we
can still get car hire for people who have endorsements on their licence.
speeding is not nornally a problem - drink driving is, call reservations
if you are not sure. if not find out if someone else in the party
can drive.
we're
going on a cruise
we
can arrange car hire at some ports or from a downtown location.
we're
holidaying in the uk
we
have very competative car hire rates in the uk. we can also arrange
oneway rentals in great britain.
we're
going tomorrow - isn't it too late
you
can often reserve a car at most destinations with out any problem.
remember that cars are all subject to availability.
