Many people want to look for places where they can relax, and this is easily done when they have a reliable rental car option. You can be sure to look everywhere for a great rental car but once you know where you want to be, the price of the vehicle must be just right to justify your visit to such a great location. Of course you cannot always base your trips on the price of your rental vehicle but you do have a much larger selection of vehicles to choose from as well as having more power over the amount you pay for the vehicle when you look online for rental car pricing. Many people can even find a vehicle for under a certain amount that will be sure to keep them happy during their stay in their location for their trip.

Don’t forget that you need a car rental option to really be able to enjoy the great attractions that are available for you to partake in while in the area you are visiting. Many people forget that rental vehicles are what make it possible to economically have their trip available to them when they wish to really visit many attractions. It is hard enough finding buses, taxi cabs and more just to tax time and money away from where you need to be during your trip. You can even choose fuel efficient options to save money on your fuel consumption while in the area you wish to be in. Many people enjoy taking advantage of low cost and fuel efficient rental vehicles because it allows them to do much more than they have every imagined in their travel destination. Saving money can be done easily by reserving the vehicle as far in advance as possible!

Avis and Budget Transitioning to a Smoke Free Fleet

If you are a smoker, this news may be disappointing. However, if you are a non-smoker, you are probably going to be excited about this news.

Regardless of which side of the fence you fall on, the news that I am referring to is the fact that on October 1st of this year, Avis and Budget will both be transitioning to rental car fleets that are one hundred percent smoke-free. This policy will apply to their entire rental car fleets throughout North America.

So, why did Avis and Budget decide to make this change to their policy? According to Avis and Budget, this decision will make renting a car a healthier and far more pleasurable experience for their customers. By banning smoking in their rental cars, they will be ridding their vehicles of four thousand chemicals, including over sixty carcinogens, that are found in secondhand smoke.

The timing of this decision is good for both companies, given the fact that a recent study showed that concentrations of secondhand smoke are significantly higher in cars than concentrations generally measured in bars, restaurants and other public places that allow smoking.

In addition to applying this policy to its customers, Avis and Budget will also enforce this policy to its employees and sub-contractors who utilise their vehicles.

Because this announcement was just made, there hasn’t been time for a lot of public reactions to this decision. However, one group that is already applauding Avis and Budget for their decisions is the anti-smoking group Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, who is “a leader in the fight to reduce tobacco use and its devastating consequences in the United States and around the world.”
