Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010
Beach vacations can get pretty boring once you got some sun tan and have ridden the waves for several a day or two. This is why the biggest risk when booking an all-inclusive beach vacation is boredom. Fortunately, having the freedom of movement will instantly chase boredom away, and the most common way in which mobility can be achieved is by renting a car. As most car rental deals are now related to popular summer destinations like Florida, California or the Adriatic coast, it worths taking a look at Thrifty.com’s ongoing promotions.
Just as I stated above, many of their deals have to do with beach resorts. There is a great number of one way deals valid for destinations like Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia or Bosnia-Herzegovina. As for the United States, here the price of a compact car starts around $24.99 per day (offer is valid for Hawaii and the Southwest states and will end on June 20, 2010). Also, if you are traveling to Florida, you can benefit from a very advantageous weekly rate – only $134.99 for a compact car.
