New Car Class for E-z Rent-a-car Fleet

New Car Class for E-z Rent-a-car Fleet

It is always important to give every customer a choice when making a car rental reservation online. E-Z Rent-A-Car also now will be catering to those who do not have specific needs in terms of a car rental class. The XCAR (X as in a variable in basic Algebra) car class has launched online at www.ezrac.com for E-Z Rent-A-Car’s <a href=”http://www.e-zrentacar.com/locations~airport-rental_car+car_rental_location-Orlando_Florida.html”>Orlando Airport car rental</a> market and <a href=”http://www.e-zrentacar.com/locations~airport-rental_car+car_rental_location-Denver_Colorado.html”>Denver, CO rental cars</a>.

The XCAR will give those renters who do not have a specific need a discounted rate for taking any rental car class that meets a certain threshold. E-Z Rent-A-Car’s XCAR means that the renter will receive a vehicle that has at least 5 seatbelts (and therefore fits 5 persons) and can hold 2 pieces of large luggage. So, if someone makes a reservation online for an XCAR, that renter could receive a Midsize car, like a VW Jetta, or an Sports Utility vehicle, like a Ford Escape.

How is the specific make / model chosen once the renter arrives at the rental counter at the Orlando Airport? It largely depends on what the car rental manager at the location determines that he/she has a large quantity for that day / week. So, it comes as a surprise to the renter which car rental class he/she will receive. But, the biggest upside to this program is that the renter will receive a discount on the rental.  For all rentals, it will be like getting a free upgrade, even if the renter only receives a Midsize car.  The XCAR rate will always be discounted off the Midsize car rental rate.

Look for this program to expand to other car rental locations in the United States soon!

Berlin Maps: a Few Useful Tips

Berlin Maps: a Few Useful Tips

It is always good to carry a map with you when in an unknown city, and Berlin is no exception. But what maps should you get and where?

What’s special about Berlin is that if you know how to make good use of it’s public transportation and have a suitable map, you can easily get anywhere you want.

Berlin’s public transportation system includes two sophisticated train systems (U-Bahn and S-Bahn), many bus lines, and the Tram trains. No single map can show all relevant information about these, but a good map with the basic routes will usually be enough for a traveler.

There are tons of maps available, usually with streets on one side and the transportation system route on the other. You’d find them in books and travel guides, and in various shops and tourist information agencies. Some of the more decent maps are actually given for free, like those offered by the BVG service centers (BVG is the main operator of city transportation).

It’s better to find a good map of the city and mark the places you want to visit prior to your trip.

BVG offer an interactive map, which can be partially downloaded as a PDF file from here.

On my blog, Berlin O Philia, I offer a few other useful links to maps and other Berlin related resources.
