Summer Holiday Season for

Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and South America!

We are offering a 5% Discount if you can book and pay in full by 15 August 2006 on
Motorhomes and Car Rental so please do not miss out!

The main summer holiday season, including school holidays and those industries that close down for a break once a year, falls in December - February in the Southern Hemisphere.

This means that availability of most holiday products in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and South America is restricted from about September to April as these are the months when the best weather is normally available, the time when visitors from overseas, including family and friends, choose to come and when many of the largest sporting events take place.

Every year we have many requests that we are unable to satisfy due to lack of availability. This is very disappointing for everyone.

From our web sites you will see we have substantially increased the number of companies we represent so we are now able to offer a whole lot more product from a wider choice of locations.

Despite this, availability is still very difficult to find in some places for certain dates.

PLEASE bear this in mind so we can help you with a dream holiday. Please Book Early, in fact Now would be a really good time to book.

Our online quotes and reservations system for Motorhomes, RV's and Campervans works 24 hours daily, 7 days each week - or our team of enthusiastic and experienced people will be only too pleased to respond promptly to your requests. www.motorhomesworldwide.com

Best Price Guarantee !!

We don't say Lowest Price guarantee because sometimes our prices may APPEAR higher but you have to carefully check out the inclusions. We try and include as much as possible in our rates so that you don't have any 'big surprises' at the end of your rental. Our quotes carefully spell out what is included and what has to be paid at the start of your rental.

A common mistake when clients compare rental rates is that they don't read the inclusions carefully. Sure, some companies say insurance is included but what they omit to say is that it has an excess or deductible of $3000 . We include Collision Damage Waiver which reduces this to a more manageable figure as standard. To buy this waiver will often cost up to 12 Euros per day !

We also include airport fees where we can - in Italy for example some companies add 14% of the rental rate. Other items to check for would be: Road Registration fees, additional driver fees, city and sometimes rail surcharges.

WHY YOU SHOULD BOOK WITH US

We save you the time and effort of calling several different companies to find the best rate and vehicle to suit your needs. We have the largest selection of any company worldwide. We are expert niche specialists.

Did you know???
That the price you see is not always the price you end up paying?
You have to consider Taxes - are they included or not?

One way fees - they can vary by hundreds of dollars between companies. When you need a one way rental, we automatically check every company we represent to find the best one way fee. Why call nine companies when one call to us does it for you...

Petrol or diesel? - We know which is best! The cost of fuel? - We know that too...

CDW & PAI & SLI...you get offered these -Do you know which you need and which you don't? We do.

Some companies have a minimum/maximum age - some charge extra if you fall into this category. We know which do and which don't.

Some cars & motorhomes can go into Eastern European countries - some can't.
Only cars from certain countries can enter Eastern Europe.
We know the answer to both.

A second driver fee can be $10 per day... some allow it free - same with airport / city / station fee. Guess who know this too !!

Do I need an International Drivers Permit... If you have a drivers licence in English eg. Australian, New Zealand, USA etc you do not need an International Drivers permit.
If your licence is in a foreign language, we do recommend that you get an International Drivers Permit


TIPS for DRIVING IN EUROPE

1. If your rental is under 21 days - car rental is generally more cost effective than leasing.

2. Car rental prices vary from country to country - so a slight adjustment of your starting point can save you heaps eg. a 1.4 L Megane picked up in Spain would cost you Australian $60 per day but just go across the border to France and you will pay Australian $45 per day for that same car !

3. If you are under 25 - avoid paying the young driver surcharge which can be an Australian $25 per day by doing a car lease.

4. If you want a minibus, an automatic vehicle or need a vehicle for more than 28 days - look at car leasing which is the tax free program which is sanctioned by the French government to encourage tourism. Leasing includes absolutely everything with no additional driver fees, airport fees and even the comprehensive insurance does not have an excess. Cars can be leased for up to 175 days with prices starting from Australian $24 a day per car. Have a look at
Car Leasing in Europe. We are the only operator that offers leasing with all three companies that offers leasing.

5. Do all that is possible to get a diesel vehicle as diesel can cost up to a third less than petrol in some countries. Note that with a rental car - you most often will receive a petrol driven car. With leasing you can order a diesel car.

6. If you are taking a rental car - the insurance which is included, does come with an excess of approximately Australian $1,000 and whilst you could take out excess reduction waivers at the car counter - do check your travel insurance policy as quite a few of them offer "Rental vehicle insurance excess cover" - which means you don't have to take out those waivers as your travel
insurance will cover this. Travel Insurance Quote for a quick quote.

7. If on a budget, consider taking a Motorhome instead of a car. This would be your accommodation and transport in one and you can save so much by cooking your own food and making your own sandwich lunches. See www.motorhomesworldwide.com for comprehensive info. Motorhomes are offered in 32 countries.

8. Car hire & Motorhomes are often priced on a seasonal basis whereby the pick up date determines the rate for the entire rental so if you want a car on 30 September - it may be worthwhile to wait one day and start on 01October when the rates drop.

9. If you do a fly/drive package - you often get the car or airfare at a reduced rate. Have a look at www.europeshoppe.com.au

10. Lastly - most companies in Europe charge an airport fee - in some places like Italy, this can as high as 14% of your TOTAL hire cost, so consider taking a taxi to a downtown location and avoiding the fee. Incidentally, airport drop off's do not incur the airport fee.

11. Want to travel to Eastern Europe eg. Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and your car hire company won't allow it? Start in Germany or Austria and you can or alternatively, lease a car. They allow it with full insurance and no excess.

REMEMBER TO PACK...


Calculator - don't get ripped off with foreign exchange conversions.
Duct tape - great as fluff remover; to seal a box if you want to send excess
baggage home; wrap around a travel bag if the zip breaks or as extra security

Lip balm - lips can dry out especially if you are not used to being outdoors quite so much
Muesli bars - will keep you going until the next meal
Notebook and pen... handy especially for language barriers - draw a picture - a bit like foreign pictionary! When you don't know foreign numbers... at least you can understand written prices & to make notes of when and where you took that photo and to write down details of new friends.

Pedometer - see how many km's you cover in a day
Pocket knife - handy for cutting up an impromptu picnic lunch
Plastic plate or frisbee - useful for your lunch, cutting your cheese, salami, tomato etc and for playing with afterwards...fun on the beach
Pre printed address labels - instead of taking your address book - just peel and stick labels on your postcards
Plastic poncho with hood - looks dorky but at least your hands will be free for taking photos etc whereas an umbrella can be a hindrance - especially in crowded places.
Spare spectacles - easy to replace sunglasses but would you be lost without a spare pair of prescription lenses?
Safety pins - a hundred uses
Travel clock - in case you need to get up early to catch a train, plane or make an early start to avoid the crowds
Torch with fresh batteries - lots of uses
Travel scrabble / cards - impromptu entertainment - great for breaking the ice in a youth hostel!
Tissues ... if not for you, for the kid next to you with the runny nose or sticky fingers
umbrella can be a hindrance - especially in crowded places.
Various sized Glad bags for fruit (squashed banana in your backpack is NOT fun), for leftovers, damp clothes, messy things.
Wet wipes - instant hygiene and ideal for after lunch clean up.
