Car rental companies will take the opportunity to earn some extra cash by charging for the smallest of things that we take for granted in our own cars. Be it for a child seat or a SAT NAV. Make sure you equip yourself and save big! Whenever possible, pack your own traveling extras and be sure to have the rental company remove theirs – from the car and the bill – before you drive off.

Whether you’re planning a summer holiday in Europe, America or Asia it can be important to make the most of the country you’re visiting. Renting a car will give you the chance to see what you want to see, rather than merely relying on the bus route. It can sometimes take a little while to adapt when you’re renting a car. You may be driving a vehicle with left hand drive when you’re used to right, while you could also be driving on the other side of the road meaning you give way to traffic in the completely opposite direction. Start out on a simple journey first when you rent a vehicle on holiday, and then move on larger roads when you feel comfortable, you can then explore as you...

Sales of 4×4 are increasing in the UK probably because of their practicality, looks and comfort. In the early 2000s it seemed like 4x4s  had gone out of fashion thanks to rising fuel costs, but with efficient modern engines equipped, the market for these cars is growing a lot. Here we will suggest to you what you can get for the most of your money: Range Rover – Considered the most luxurious and comfortable 4×4 on the market but with its looks comes its hefty price.
