Tips to Keep Your Car Running This Winter

Winter is here, and for motorists across the UK that can only mean one thing, it’s time to start getting up early to defrost your vehicles. From windscreens to wiper mixes, and engines, our cars and vans need a lot of help this time of year.

Another great advantage of renting a car or van is you can get 12 days to hire for the price of 7! That’s right, 12 days hire for the price of 7 days. Be sure not to […]
