Car rentals now even cheaper than before

Most of the regular readers of this column know that I have mixed feelings about Priceline, but a deal’s a deal, so I feel compelled to point this one out: Save up to 30% on Rental Cars Especially if you are visiting somewhere in the U.S. or Canada, you pretty much need a car, and driving your own wheels while on a vacation is for suckers. I sure as heck don’t want to rack up 2,000 miles on my own car in just a week or ... [Read this entry]

Forget those “save 61%” sites, this is better

So imagine the smile on my face when I came across this deal: Hawaii Travel Deals with Air & Car - Save up to 62%

People who’ve been reading this column for any length of time are well aware of how fond I am of big savings. I’m drawn to them in the same way that Lindsay Lohan is drawn to bars with paparazzi out front. We are both powerless!

I’ve always thought that only suckers pay full price for vacations, and now I’m beginning to ... [Read this entry]

Europe Fly and Drive Packages

Compared to North America and other locations in the world, Europe is a compact continent that is generally easy to traverse by public transportation, especially if you have a rail pass. Sometimes, however, life is best enjoyed at your own pace and with your own schedule. Instead of racing to catch a train so that you can get to your next destination, you’d rather be sitting in a café sipping coffee and enjoying the splendid feeling of being in another country.

That is when it is very handy to have your ... [Read this entry]

Save $25 on your next car rental

If you have paid a visit to your local gas station recently you know that gas prices continue to soar. Things are likely only to get worse when the summer travel season kicks in to full gear. At this rate you will have to mortgage your house to drive to the beach this summer. You might have to sell blood just to be able to fill up your tank. You might need to rob a bank just to take the kids to soccer practice.

In these times of high gas ... [Read this entry]

Cheap Airport Limo Reservations

As a highly paid world mogul, the only kind of vehicle good enough for my bum to sit in is a limousine. If I am not rolling down the road with a scotch on the rocks in one hand and a remote control in the other, than I might as well be walking. Mine is a vehicle that is the envy of all high school prom queens.

I realize that not all of you enjoy a highly paid blogger lifestyle like I do and that you might find it a treat to ... [Read this entry]

Cheap Car Rental Links

Unless you are planning on renting a fancy new sports car or a classic automobile, the fact is that renting a car is never the most exciting part of a vacation. It shouldn’t have to be either. There is little worse than having a rental car break down or arriving in a new city only to find out that the discount car rental company you paid to rent you a car has run out of vehicles. Believe it or not that type of thing happens more times than you’d care ... [Read this entry]

You can practically smell those yellow roses of Texas right now

Texas is a big place. You can drive your car from one side to the other in about the same time as it would take to drive across a large swath of Europe. If you ever want to feel the rush of being alone, head on out to west Texas and drive at night. You’ll hardly see a soul and you’ll hardly hear anything other than the country music coming from your radio.

While it is big and it does have plenty of emptiness to it, Texas also does just fine ... [Read this entry]

Spare your Legs with a Free Rental Car Upgrade

If you are a bargain traveler like me you probably are more than willing to rent an economy car to save a few bucks. Frankly I could care less how much horsepower my rental car has just as long as it gets me from point A to point B without needing the assistance of a tow truck.

If you are like me and you have gone the cheapie route in the past, chances are you have had a rental car or three where you need a spatula to extract yourself from it because ... [Read this entry]

Hertz Rental Cars Europe Deals

One of the best parts about traveling in Europe is that you often have no need to have a car. The rail system is so excellent that a Eurail pass is the best and most affordable place to get you from point A to point B. When that fails, however, there is always the option of renting a vehicle. Here is a decent deal that Hertz is offering:

United States and Canadian residents traveling to Europe this year can take advantage of special offers from Hertz designed to make renting ... [Read this entry]

Discount and Hassle-Free Airport Parking

Among the many hassles incurred during the busy holiday travel season is trying to find a parking spot at the airport. Nothing can be more frustrating than to be running behind schedule and to nearly miss your airplane flight because you are circling around the parking lot looking for a space to store your car while you are gone. And then there is the cost of parking. The bill can run up and up and up if you opt for the more convenient short-term parking.

You can save yourself a ... [Read this entry]
