USA Road Trip Offer

USA Road Trip Offer

What Is So Good About A USA Road Trip?

The USA is a very popular destination with tourists around the world, best known for its delicious food that’s served in portions you will struggle to eat. One issue with visiting the USA is that it is so big, spreading over 9,000 kilometres squared, it is the 3rd largest country in the world. From national parks like Yosemite and the Grand Canyon to the statue of liberty or Disney World, each state of America has so much to offer. The best way to see as much as possible is to hire a car and road trip around several of the states over the course of a few weeks or even a month. If you are not sure where to start check out our Top USA road trips for inspiration.

The Cost Of A Road Trip In The USA

The problem is, if you are going on a road trip you will quickly find out that it isn’t cheap. To add to the costs, the chances are you will want to have multiple drivers eligible to drive the car, so you have the option to share the driving. Multiple Additional drivers are a great idea and can take a lot of stress out of your road trip, however, once you have multiple additional drivers the price soon skyrockets. This high price tag can quickly convince you that your dream USA road trip holiday is not as close as you originally thought.

Our Exclusive Offer In The USA

We have the perfect offer for anyone wanting to hire a car and road trip around the USA on a budget. This offer includes 3 additional drivers for a fraction of the price you would pay if you were to add the drivers without the use of this offer. In addition to this we will throw in a free tank of fuel for you to kick start your journey. If you don’t need 3 additional drivers, we have other suppliers who offer 1 free additional driver, given that they are your partner or spouse. With that been said these other offers don’t include a free tank of fuel.

If you are interested in booking either of these offers, we recommend you get in touch with our knowledgeable team who can find you the best deal tailored to your requirements. You can get in touch directly via call, email or by using the live chat function.

Debit Cards Now Accepted At Tunis Airport

Tunis Carthage Airport often referred to as simply Tunis Airport is located in the largest city of Tunisia, Tunis. Named after the historic city of Carthage the airport gets around 4 million passengers travelling through it each and every year. The ever growing destinations with new routes being added like Erbil, Montreal-Trudeau mixed with the popular standard flights like Paris Charles de Gaulle, Zurich and Barcelona makes this airport an increasingly busier location year on year.

Keeping that in mind that also has a direct effect on car hire, and we have seen an increase in the amount of customers asking to hire at Tunis Airport, but like several other places there was one main hurdle that we wanted to overcome. The companies within the airport weren’t allowing for our customers to hire with anything other than a credit card, eventually however we managed to strike a deal with one of the major suppliers that we work with on a world wide scale and can happily announce that at Tunis Carthage Airport we can now accept debit cards.

In order for your debit card to be accepted however it needs to meet some restrictions. The best way to find out if your card will be accepted is to contact our team directly.

If you want to find out more about hiring a car at Tunis Carthage Airport without a credit card then please contact our knowledgeable and experienced advisors who will always find you the best priced rental possible. You can contact them on +44 (0)113 880 0748 or alternatively email at sales@thealternativeagency.co.uk.

Paying With A Business Debit Card

Paying With A Business Debit Card

There are many locations across the globe where we have managed to arrange a deal that will allow us to take a debit card given that it meets certain restrictions. We have announced this several times before but one of the major difficulties when it comes to debit card car hire the card typically has to be in your name which means the name that is printed on your card must match your identification when you produce it at the counter.

One problem presented by this is that travel is often for businesses purposes and many will want to use a business debit card to pay for their expenses. Usually you would be rejected straight away but we tried to look further into this as we felt there should be some form of exception when it comes to business travel.

This is also a similar issue to many Canadian and Malaysian bank accounts which occasionally don’t have a name on the card.

We have managed to arrange deal which means you are allowed to pay with a business debit card in some circumstances as long as you have proof that the card does in fact belong to you and you are authorised to use it, this can be proved by a letter from the bank.

Most of the locations that we can arrange this for are in Spain but its hit and miss, which is why we ask you to contact us well in advance so we can contact the specific branch you are looking to hire from and inform them of your situation to check whether your card will be accepted.

If you are looking to hire and only have business card or your card doesn’t have a name on it then please contact us on +44 (0)113 880 0748 or alternatively you can email us at sales@thealternativeagency.co.uk.

Overseas Visitors Looking To Hire A Minibus

Are you an overseas customer looking for 12, 15 or even 17 seater minibus within the United Kingdom? Then don’t worry because Indigo Car Hire can help you find the best available deal. We have managed to get one of our suppliers to offer our customers a few fantastic deals on Minibuses.

Minibuses are a great choice of rental when you are travelling with a large group of people. Instead of having to drive around in several cars and each pay the rental cost then why not just have one vehicle that can fit everyone? It makes your holiday so much easier to organise and getting from place to place is far quicker.

We can also happily announce that our minibuses can now be rented out without the use of a credit card needing to be involved. We can accept debit cards given that they meet the requirements that are in place. Also another thing we have managed for our customers is the fact that we can supply minibuses with a low deposit, which is significant as the larger the vehicle often the same can be said for the deposit, but not in this case as the deposit is only around £500!

Some of the popular locations that people opt to hire minibuses from that we can service include…

Heathrow Airport
Gatwick Airport
Edinburgh Airport
Manchester Airport

Along with this we have also managed to get two US locations on board which include..

Orlando Airport
Miami Airport

If you are interested in renting a minibus you first need to find out if your licence is eligible whether that be a UK, EU, US or any other licence. Our reservation agents are well versed in this and can answer any questions you may have and book you a minibus without an issue. To find out further information then please contact us on +44 (0)113 880 0748 or email us at sales@thealternativeagency.co.uk and we will be happy to help you find the best option.
