New collaboration between the Highways Agency and Carrentals.co.uk is aimed at ensuring Britain’s roads are safe this summer

29 July 2010 – Discounts and savings can all be enjoyed through the Get Out More campaign and in response to many Brits staycationing this year; Carrentals.co.uk and the Highways Agency have chosen to team up to raise awareness for road safety.

With millions of people choosing to stay in Britain last year as their main holiday destination, 2010 is likely to follow the same pattern. This means more people on the roads during the holiday season and safety advice is now on offer in order to keep the rods throughout the UK safe.

Cheap car rentals along with road safety are the main targets for Carrentals.co.uk and the new partnership formed with the Highways Agency will ensure a higher level of safety on the roads. Taking regular breaks is the best advice provided by both companies.

Gareth Robinson is the Managing Director for Carrentals.co.uk and he said the following: “The Highways Agency are working with us so we can help our customers to stay on the roads this summer as many people choose to stay in the UK.”

Information on how to stay safe can be viewed via the Carrentals.co.uk website on the Get Out More section. Route assistance can be used so drivers can find out about traffic jams and delays on the roads and live traffic maps as well as DAB Traffic Radio are also available for drivers to make use of.

‘Get Out More’ is a great way for famillies to save money this summer while still being able to get out and about. Balloon flights as well as entry fees are available at discounted rates on the Carentals.co.uk website.

The useful travel tips can be viewed at www.carrentals.co.uk/get_out_more/highway_agency_summer_getaway.html while anyone wanting to see the list of discounts can visit www.carrentals.co.uk/get_out_more.
