New partnership in place to help drivers to understand how to
be safe on the roads this summer as many set to staycation
August 17 2010 – Long journeys should be broken up with regular breaks according to
the advice given by Carrentals.co.uk and Highways Agency. The two travel experts
have joined up to promote safer driving advice in time for the summer holiday
season.
With staycationing proving just as popular as last year that saw 37 million Brits
enjoy their summer break at home, the two companies have joined up to help Brit
holidaymakers to understand more about road safety.
The importance of taking lots of breaks during long journeys has been pushed as a
top priority for many drivers and car hire specialists, Carrentals.co.uk, decided to join up with the Highways Agency
in a bid to promote safer driving this summer.
Talking about the new partnerships with the Highways Agency is the Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk: “We want to help families
in the UK to be able to afford to do more this summer and that was why we launched
the Get Out More campaign. Our new partnership with the Highways Agency is all about
helping people in the UK to take to the roads here more safely than ever before by
providing people with advice that will help them to stay safe.”
Information on how to make a journey safer can be found on the Carrentals section
entitled Get Out More. Live maps for planning a journey as well as DAB Traffic Radio
and route planning systems can all be used thanks to the new partnership.
Anyone who wants to ‘Get Out More’ this summer to many of the UK’s top attractions and landmarks can do so
for less and everything from balloon flights to aquariums can be visited at
discounted prices.
www.carrentals.co.uk/get_out_more is the place to visit to find out more about what
attractions are currently available at discounted prices and anyone who wished to
use the route planner should go to www.carrentals.co.uk/get_out_more/highway_agency_summer_getaway.html.
The primary message in the Highway Agency’s campaign called Summer Getaway is road
safety as many more Brits look set to be taking to the roads in the UK rather than
abroad.
