Get your driving on
Posted on 14. Jun, 2010 by admin in Travel Destinations
I have travelled extensively around the World, having worked in many places and many different companies and countries. And there’s never as much driving around as I would like there to be. I really enjoy driving, it’s something that I’d rather do for pleasure rather than for necessity, but it’s something that usually remains a pleasure for me even when I’m stuck in traffic on my way to work.
What I live to do is to rent a car from time to time and just have my fun. Having done this so many times, I’ve become somewhat of an expert in car hire companies and using their little quirks to your favor. For example, I can’t tell you just how many times being upgraded meant getting some extras also. I usually go for the mid-range car and that means that, if I get an upgrade, I’m given one of the premium cars. This is when I tell them I won’t feel safe driving such an expensive car and that maybe I’ll just go elsewhere. This usually cues them throwing some extra at me, be it a complementary GPS, a free tank of gas or full insurance coverage for the price of the normal insurance.
