Cheap Car hire to explore Scotland

Scotland is made up of the northern third of the island of Great Britain and almost 800 small islands.  Its capital is Edinburgh, but its largest city is Glasgow.  A trip through scenic Scotland by hire car is bound to be an unforgettable experience.

There is much to do and to see in Edinburgh, like the famous Edinburgh Castle, once the abode of Kings and Queens.  The Edinburgh Zoo is also an ideal tourist attraction for the whole family.  Scotland has numerous theme parks, including the Loudoun Castle Theme Park and the M&D Scotlands Theme Park.  The Royal Observatory Visitor Centre is the perfect place for those interested in astronomy.

Your Cheap Car Hire solution for Athens

The capital of Greece, Athens is a very large city of over 4 million inhabitants. It is over 3 000 years old and is best-known for its archaeological and cultural history. Its bustle may be somewhat intimidating, but there is so much to see that a coach tour would not do the city justice. A hire car and a GPS is a far better combination.

Important tourist attractions in Athens are on the Acropolis: the Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Athena Nike, the Belvedere Terrace and the Erechteion. There are a host of Roman and Byzantine monuments all over the city too, and a vast selection of museums.
