2015 Events: Rugby World Cup

June 1, 2015 Robert Gillespie UK Comments Off

The Rugby World Cup 2015 is to be held between 18th September and 31st October 2015 and will be hosted in twelve venues across England & Wales.

We are entering into one of the most exciting times for English tourism and the Rugby World Cup 2015 will be intrinsic in securing England’s place as one of the most dynamic and beautiful destinations in the world.

Sport in this country is an incredibly powerful sales tool that has the power to attract millions of international visitors, and acts as an important catalyst to stimulate domestic visits from our vast home-grown fan-base.

Hosting the Rugby World Cup 2015, the third largest sporting event in the world after the Olympics and FIFA World Cup, is estimated by Deloittes to be worth £2.1bn to the British economy. It affords tourism with a tremendous opportunity, not least through building on, and securing our industry’s place as an intrinsic part of the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games. But also through the sheer scale of the tournament, with host match venues and training camps spanning the breadth of the country, spreading the opportunity for tourism far and wide.

The tournament forms a central plank of Britain’s “decade of sport”, which also includes the 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games, the 2013 Rugby League World Cup, and the 2014 Tour De France.

The Host Cities

The Rugby World Cup 2015 host cities will be spread all over England – the North, Midlands, South, West and London – making this a genuinely pan-England event. Thirteen venues have been confirmed, twelve of which are based in England. Below is the full list of the confirmed venues:

Twickenham Stadium, London
Brighton Community Stadium, Brighton
Kingsholm Stadium, Gloucester
Elland Road, Leeds
Leicester City Stadium, Leicester
St James’ Park, Newcastle upon Tyne
Stadiummk, Milton Keynes
Wembley Stadium, London
Olympic Stadium, London
Villa Park, Birmingham
Sandy Park Exeter
Manchester City Stadium, Manchester
Millennium Stadium, Cardiff

This geographical spread is a gift for our industry enabling the UK to showcase our incredible assets as a world class tourist destination as has never been done before in order to boost tourism spend, stimulate the continued growth of the English visitor economy, and create all important jobs for England.

2015 Events: Formula 1 British Grand Prix

May 29, 2015 Robert Gillespie UK Comments Off

Silverstone is one of the oldest races on the calendar and started life as an airfield. The end of Second World War left Britain with no major race track. An ex-farmer, James Wilson Brown, was employed by the RAC and given just two months to turn the site from a wartime airfield and farm into a race track for the first RAC International Grand Prix.

On the 2nd October 1948, an estimated 100,000 people flocked to see Luigi Villoresi drive from the back of the grid to beat a field of 22 others in his Maserati with a top speed of 72.2mph. Silverstone racing history had begun.

From the 50 races we have held here at the circuit, Alain Prost holds the record for most wins at the circuit in 1983, 1985, 1989, 1990 and 1993! Nigel Mansell is only just behind Alain with 4 wins here at Silverstone in 1986, 1987, 1991 and 1992.

The 2015 Formula 1 British Grand Prix will be held on the 05th July 2015 and visitors have an action packed week to look forward to. On top of 3 days of racing, there will be live music from MADNESS, Deacon Blue, Nik Kershaw and others as well as other activities like Zorbing, Boldogs (motorcycle display team), High Ropes, Segways and rookie rides.

Those staying for the duration will need some form of accommodation, camping seems to be the most popular as it keeps you in the mix for the whole weekend and for relatively little cost but many local hotels will be booked up already, so get your skates on and don’t miss out.

If you are visting for the 1st time then you should be looking for accommodation in the nearby towns of Whittlebury, Syresham and Towcester, or a little further afield you will find cities like Milton Keynes, Northampton and Banbury.

If you are visiting the UK for the race then why not hire a car on your arrival from any of the Eurostar stops or major airports like Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton.

Top 5 best Estate Cars of 2015

May 27, 2015 Robert Gillespie Car Hire Tips Comments Off

Estate cars offer the best of many worlds. They’re based on regular road cars so don’t suffer the extra fuel penalty that crossovers and SUVs do – they’ll also handle better as they have a lower centre of gravity. But, thanks to the sizeable boot, estates are still much more practical than their saloon siblings.

There’s a bewildering choice of estate cars on sale, so we’ve picked out our top 5. Whether it’s for the weekly shop, for a little DIY at the weekends or you just need space to keep the kids and pets happy, our list has something for everyone.

5. Volvo XC70

No estate car top five would be complete without at least one Volvo. Estates are what the Swedish brand does best, and the XC70 is our pick of their range. Based on the V70, already a spacious and refined car, the XC70 gains a subtly raised ride height and chunkier tyres to offer a more off-road biased appearance. Best of all though, those changes contribute towards excellent ride comfort. Factor in the strong, economical diesel engines and Volvo’s reputation for safety and the XC70 makes a huge amount of sense.

4. Mazda 6 Estate

The Mazda 6 is the stylish option in our top five, but that doesn’t mean that it lacks substance. It’s one of the most engagaing cars to drive in its class, while the petrol and diesel engines return excellent real-world fuel economy. At 525 litres, some rivals fare slightly better in the load-lugging department, but few are as nice from the driver’s seat.

3. Mercedes C-Class Estate

Those looking for the prestige of a small executive car with a little added practicality should look no further than the Mercedes C-Class Estate. At 490 litres, the boot isn’t significantly bigger than the saloon’s, but the square shape and low, wide opening make it much more usable. The added bonus is that the C-Class is quite the looker inside and out and is relaxing from behind the wheel.

2. BMW 5 Series Touring

If the budget is able to stretch for the BMW 5 Series Touring, you’ll be buying one of the best all-rounders on sale today. The beautiful interior sits ahead of a 560-litre boot and the whole car oozes quality and handles fantastically. BMW’s petrol and diesel engines offer a blend of performance and efficiency very few cars can compete with. Just be careful you don’t go overboard choosing options, the price can start to get a little silly if you get too excited.

1. Skoda Superb Estate

In its current form, the Superb won’t be with us for much longer, its replacement is due in September, with an estate version following soon afterwards. In the mean time, however, the current estate is still more than capable of scooping our top spot. The boot totals 630 litres – or a whopping 1,865 when the rear seats are folded away – yet the Superb maintains limo-like levels of space for rear seat passengers.

NewsFlash Driving Licence Counterpart Updates

May 26, 2015 Robert Gillespie News, Newsflash, UK Comments Off

Driving Licence Counterpart Updates 29th of May 2015

We need to clarify the fact that the rental companies won’t need your National Insurance Number (NINo).
You must know your NINo, so you can access and share your driving records with the rental company.

The paper counterpart days are numbered and Indigo Car Hire is offering to its clients the latest Driving Licence Counterpart Updates.

DVLA confirmed that from 8th of June the paper counterpart which was issued with the British driving licence will no longer be valid.

This means that the paper part of your photo card driving licence will no longer be required and in fact the government are advising they you destroy them.

If you wish to hire vehicles in the UK and Ireland you will be required to create a licence check code within 72 hours of the start of your hire. This will enable you to share your driving record with a third party, such as a car hire company or insurance broker. The unique check code will allow someone to see what vehicles you can drive, any penalty points or disqualifications, your name and the last 8 characters of your driving licence number. This licence check code can be created through the link below.

https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence

To create the licence check code you need to have the following:

your driving licence number
your National Insurance number
the postcode on your driving licence

Due to this access code only being valid for 72 hours, you will need to be super organised before you leave for your travels! Make sure you go on-line to “Share my Driving Licence” and get your access code no more than 2 days before you pick up the car.

Therefore Indigo Car Hire advises all our customers who hold a valid British driving licence to know their National Insurance Numbers (NINo).
If the client doesn’t know its NINo , then he will not be able access and share his records with the rental company, therefore he wont be able to hire a car in the UK.
Please note that this will only affect rentals in the UK and Ireland as currently the counterpart licence is not required when you rent outside the UK.

The car rental companies will also need a valid ID (passport) and a proof of address.

You can also view your counterpart online for free using DVLA new service “View Driving Licence” which can be found at this link: https://goo.gl/gwBm0w

All you need to view your driving record online is the Driving licence number, your National Insurance Number and the postcode where your licence is registered.

For more information about the procedure of hiring a car in the UK after 8th of June, please contact us over the phone on +44 (0)113 880 0748 or via email on sales@thealternativeagency.co.uk

5 Benefits Of Hiring An MPV

May 6, 2015 Robert Gillespie Car Hire Tips Comments Off

When it comes to hiring a car, most customers tend to overlook the type of vehicle they are going to be driving and often make their decision based on the brand of the rental vehicle.

This is understandable, even I prefer commuting in a large German saloon car and probably wouldn’t consider buying a low cost people carrier from the far east, but when it comes to hiring a car I try and get the most practical vehicle possible.

You may remember last year I took the family camping to Wales, squeezing 3 children with child-seats in the back of said large German saloon was almost impossible but a problem with my car forced my hand and I had to hire a car.

We ended up with a Citroen C4 Picasso, not a huge car but I was very surprised with the amount of space inside, space is a luxury in many modern cars and is number 1 on my list of 5 Benefits Of Hiring An MPV.

1. Space

Having enough room for the 2.4 children, the dog, cat, hamster and the kitchen sink is almost impossible these days unless you want to leave all of your luggage at home. The space available in some of the larger people carriers or 7 seat MPV’s is impressive and will make some of the larger estate vehicles cower in the corner.

2. Comfort

The extra space also adds to the comfort of all passengers. That couple of inches extra leg room doesn’t seems like much but you will be thankful for it after a 6 hour trip from Yorkshire to Plymouth. A little extra room in the front so you can both rest your elbows can also avoid in car arguments, in my experience…

3. Peace & Quiet

Stopping arguments in the front is nothing compared to what can happen in the back if everyone is happy. A lot of modern MPV’s have enough toys in the back to keep Mr Magorium happy. Tri-zone climate control, tv screens, individual tables and even power points for the all important phone/tablet/console chargers.

4. Cost

Hiring a 7, 8 or 9 seat vehicle could negate the need to take 2 or even 3 cars on the same trip which could save on fuel, toll roads, congestion charges, ferry crossings ect which can all add up.

5. Usability & Visibility

Being a little higher up on the road can really improve visibility which is a great safety feature but being higher up is also great for loading and unloading the luggage and even the children into the car.
