Get away for less with this cut-price car hire
Holidaymakers looking to get away over the summer holidays have been sharing their thoughts on just how prohibitively expensive public transport can be. Recently, an incredulous commuter took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his outrage after discovering it would cost nearly £800 to travel round-trip from Newcastle to London.
Spending a fortune on just getting to your destination is never the best way to start your staycation plans, but for travellers looking to spend more money on fun than on the train, there is a more cost-effective option. Car hire may once have been seen as a complicated and pricey option, but thanks to a new deal from Enterprise-Rent-A-Car, it is now easier and more affordable than ever.
For those looking to escape the city this summer, Enterprise-Rent-A-Car has new deals that are significantly cheaper and more convenient than train travel. Renting a compact SUV that seats five passengers, for example, costs just £111.66 for four days—breaking down to only £5.50 per person.

Hiring a car doesn’t just give you the freedom to take off for the day, a few days hire is perfect for a short break somewhere further afield.

According to Trainline.com, taking that same journey by train could cost as much as £100 per adult, each way.
If the great outdoors is calling your name, hiring a car will not only cost you less to get there, but you’ll also be able to take all the hiking and camping gear you need to enjoy the great outdoors this summer.
