Florida Villa & Car Hire Companies Help Build Flagging Florida Tourism Industry

(PRWEB) January 12, 2005

Florida is one of the two busiest destinations for car rentals in the UK. Unlike Spain, where there may be around 30 rental companies at airports like Alicante and Malaga, in Florida you will probably only be offered a choice of two companies, Alamo or Dollar. This even applies at the busiest airports like Orlando International, Miami, Tampa and Sanford. In fact, most travel agents, tour operators and many car rental agents/brokers are likely to offer you a ‘choice’ of just one of these Florida companies.

This is not to say that these are not good rental companies because they are. But is there more choice and how do you find it? The answer is that there is and it can be found on a new web-site, http://www.acarinFlorida.com. On this site you can find highly competitive Florida rates not only for Alamo and Dollar, but also for Budget and Speciality. So a four-fold increase in your options. There are some other benefits offered by Budget and Speciality as well. Both companies offer special deals for young drivers, ages 21-24. So no need to spend the $ 20 or more per day that is often required for this age group to drive. This means not only a big saving and Dad gets a break from the driving. Also, as Speciality are not on-airport at Miami, their clients are not required to pay the recently introduced tax of nearly $ 4 per day. So another big saving and the Speciality Florida shuttle service to and from the terminal is free.

AcarinFlorida.com is owned by Endless Leisure Ltd. whose Managing Director, Mark Harrison, comments ‘ it has always been a core principle of Endless Leisure to offer our clients an excellent choice. This applies to both our on-line booking sites and to our personal service brand, http://www.carhirewarehouse.com. At carhirewarehouse we also have an agency with Hertz which means that we can offer a total choice of 5 major rental companies throughout Florida. We don’t believe that anyone else can match this service in Florida.’

Endless Leisure Ltd are working in partnership with Worldwide Holiday Homes who are a UK-based independent travel company offering self catering holiday villas in Florida. Established in 2002 Worldwide Holiday Homes offers low cost and specialist holidays to holidaymakers to Florida.

Car Hire in Spain Just Got Cheaper and Easier to Book, Thanks to Spanish Property World New Car Rentals Guide

Puerto Banus, Spain (PRWEB) April 5, 2005

Spanish Property World , today launched it’s unique guide to renting a car in Spain.

From the basics of choosing a car hire company in Spain, for your holiday or business trip to Spain, to picking up your rent a car from any airport in Spain , it’s all laid out in detail.

Discount Car bookings options are available from Carrentals and Holiday Autos.

Detailed instruction on how to find the car rentals desks of Avis Malaga,Hertz at Malaga, Helle Hollis, Crown Car Hire Malaga,Pepecar,Niza and National Atesa

All the main airports are covered with some interesting advice and information available on the larger Airports. Malaga Car Hire, for example is the biggest rental point for Holiday Autos but the prices are incredibley competitive.

We have found that Barcelona Car Hire is not as popular as say Alicante Car Hire or Palma Car Hire and this is mainly to do with the nature of the traveller and holidays to these different destinations. Most people head to Barcelona for a long weekend break and are happy to hop into a taxi where as when people head for the traditional holiday resorts they normally have a two week break booked and need a car to explore the surrounding areas.

Unusally both Girona Car Hire and Reus Car Hire are very popular but this can be explained by their location. Girona Airport for example is one of Ryanairs main European Hubs and has flights landing everyday from 21 different European Airports. Unfortunately the transport facilities at the airport are not that great. It is simply cheaper and easier to hire a car at Girona Airport and head under your own steam to your holiday destiantion.

The site now covers in detail car hire in Spain’s most popular coastal areas including the; Costa de la Luz, Costa del sol, Costa Blanca, Costa Brava, Costa Tropical, Costa Almeria, Costa Dorada, Costa Calida, Canary Islands and Balearic Islands.

Spanish Property World also contains more than 10,000 Spanish Properties for sale in some of Spain’s most popular coastal areas. In addition to in depth coverage of local areas, amenities, attractions and buying advice Spanish Property World also features an extensive range of New developments and Commercial property listings.

June Bride with a Twist: Columnist to Hire a Husband

Palm Beach County, FL (PRWEB) June 22, 2005

While thousands of brides will be saying, “I do.” this summer, one woman longs to add to those magic words: “I do hire you!” Single life columnist and television personality, Angela Manfredi, will launch a nationwide search to hire the ideal husband. The self-proclaimed happily single career woman has occasionally fretted over the perils of everyday life: car repairs, cleaning out the cluttered garage and preparing for those dreaded hurricanes. Are these the types of household dilemmas that a husband might handle? What about the social challenges singles face? Could a temporary husband put to rest the annoying “why aren’t you married?” questions? In her newspaper column, “Singled Out,” Angela challenges qualified men around the country to apply for the position of husband for hire. This arrangement will not be legally binding and the husband will receive a salary for his two-week tenure. And, as Angela says, “The relationship is financial, not romancial.” The entire experience will be chronicled in her columns.

Who exactly is a qualified temporary husband? According to Angela, she is not looking for a handyman. She wants the entire “perfect husband” package on a brief, part-time basis. The ideal man is success-minded, intelligent; single (over 21), possesses personality, originality, sense of humor. Handy helps, but resourcefulness rules! The job requires: light bulb changing, attending cultural events, bench warming at the mall, negotiating car repairs, garage organizing, participating in the Sunday night dinner and a movie ritual and hurricane preparations. Previous husband experience is not required. Lack of cat allergies is a must.

Why would an accomplished professional want to embark on such an unusual endeavor? “As a life-long single gal and relationship writer, I decided it would be fun, enlightening, and down- right practical to find out how the married half lives,” states Angela. What’s in it for the men? “For better or worse, until the end of our employment contract do us part, you could consider this espousal exercise groom-ing for the real thing, a refresher course, or just a great summer job adventure!”

Eligible men are invited to apply for this position via a videotape and questionnaire found at http://www.angelahiresahusband.com. The search runs through July 19, 2005. In August, finalists will convene in Palm Beach, Florida for a long weekend of “husbandly” challenges and tasks. Angela and a panel of judges will select the winner during a beach side employment commitment ceremony in the presence of family and friends. The husband will live in Angela’s residence for the duration of the “marriage.”

Angela Manfredi is the singles humor columnist for the Palm Beach Post. With wit and verve, she shares her experiences and observations garnered from more than 20 years in the dating trenches. In addition to her career as a writer, Angela is an award-winning television and radio broadcaster who served as an on-air news reporter in West Palm Beach, Miami, and El Paso. She has most recently been seen on PBS as a national pledge host. Angela lives in Florida, but commutes frequently to the New York/New Jersey area for professional endeavors and family visits.

Book early, an Incentive from Economy Car Hire to Help Avoid Disappointment and Save Money

Norfolk, England (PRWEB) February 4, 2006 -–

Every year during peak holiday periods there is a huge increase in demand for cars and in many cases when booking at the last minute, vehicles are not available. In order to rectify this situation, Economy Car Hire has introduced a 10% discount valid for online bookings made more than 2 months in advance.

Economy Car Hire’s reservation technology provides the ability to book vehicles with as little as a days notice, the problem is that people do just that, more bookings are made with one days notice than any other time. This causes lots of problems for their car hire suppliers.

The advance booking discount will help their suppliers to then plan ahead for peak times, and make sure they have enough vehicles available when needed. This will then allow those who do book late a chance to get the vehicle of their choice.

“We want people to take advantage of the discount and book early, this will allow us to provide a better service to our customers, making their holidays go more smoothly” says Managing Director Rory Sexton. “We care about our clients because they make our business!”

Coming from small beginnings Economy Car Hire adds emphasis on providing an excellent service, with attention to detail only a family run business could provide.

“We want our customers to enjoy their car hire experience and holiday!” stated Mr Sexton. “Our fully inclusive car hire rates include more than any other company, and with no insurance excess or hidden extras, our clients are happy and can enjoy their holidays with complete peace of mind.”

Currently Economy Car Hire specialise in some of the Mediterranean tourist hotspots including Spain, Portugal and Italy.

As Military Personnel Return, Search for Civilian Employment, MilitaryStars Offers Corporate America Opportunity to Hire Military Veteran Candidates Within Federal Compliance Mandates

(PRWEB) June 9, 2006

From a database filled with over 11,000 military job seekers throughout the Mid-Atlantic states, MilitaryStars, the nation’s largest military career expo company, is set to provide over 40 military-friendly employers the distinct opportunity to hire highly trained prior military candidates into countless positions in corporate America. Equally, with new Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) regulations in effect, MilitaryStars announced today that it is entirely compliant with the mandates.

“The job seekers who come to our events and who are registered in our database are ready to go to work for civilian companies. They’re trained, skilled and they need quality civilian jobs,” said MilitaryStars President Todd Hecht.

Or, as one military candidate recently put it: “It’s quite difficult to find a job. It’s even harder when most of your experience is military related . . . I feel like many civilian companies view military experience as sub-par or even irrelevant. How does one get around this?”

‘Getting around’ that issue will be the pre-registered military job seekers at the event, who will show the employers already set to attend – currently numbering 22 and growing daily – that military experience translates almost identically into the civilian employment market. The career expo, slated for June 27th at the Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel in Baltimore, MD, will highlight the qualities and skill sets of hundreds of military veterans.

Companies, ranging from Penske Truck Leasing to Merrill Lynch and Merck & Co., from Lockheed Martin and KBR-Overseas to Southwest Airlines, Alban Caterpillar and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, have all registered to attend the target-rich recruiting event.

“Our military-friendly employers at our events span all types of industries and markets, and our candidates have skill sets and backgrounds that can satisfy even the most difficult positions to fill – corporations, defense contractors, retail businesses and logistics companies all have success in hiring military veterans, and our one-cost-unlimited-hires policy ensures that companies can acquire all the talent they need in one place,” said Hecht.

What’s more, that talent acquisition will come with new regulations from the OFCCP and new safeguards for acquiring online talent from the MilitaryStars candidate event database.

“The OFCCP mandates state that all companies bidding on federal contracts are required to collect specific applicant data online so that employers can hire in accordance with equal employment procedures,” said Hecht. “MilitaryStars is fully compliant with the new procedures, and has been for some time. Any employers working with the government can continue to look to MilitaryStars to acquire their workforces.”

About MilitaryStars: The nation’s largest military career expo company, veteran-owned MilitaryStars furthers its mission to assist transitioning military and veterans in finding civilian jobs via regional career expos throughout the United States. Please visit the newly revamped http://www.militarystars.com, where candidates and employers alike will find post-military employment resources and services, or call (800) 775-1415 for further assistance and information.
