Leading price comparison site teams up with Highways Agency to encourage drivers to take regular breaks while driving long distances this summer season
Carrentals.co.uk has teamed up with the Highways Agency to encourage drivers to take regular breaks during their long journeys this summer, with the partnership helping to support Carrentals.co.uk’s ‘Get Out More’ campaign, which features discounts and savings at a host of leading attractions and events around the UK.
Last year alone 37 million Brits opted to holiday in the UK as opposed to abroad and with the staycation looking to be equally popular this year, Carrentals.co.uk and the Highways Agency are keen to highlight the importance of drivers taking regular stops to break up long journeys.
Offering a range of journey planning tools, the Highways Agency will be working with Carrentals.co.uk to highlight new and interesting places that families can visit along their holiday routes to break up the journey, avoid traffic and make the travelling time more interesting.
Gareth Robinson, managing director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “The Highways Agency have some really useful and simple to use travel tools that allow drivers to not only check their planned routes, but to also help them plan journeys that will be more interesting for all the family. This fits perfectly with the focus of our summer ‘Get Out More’ campaign and we hope that families across the UK will make the most of the discounts and travel information available to help them enjoy journeys that are both fun and safe.”
The Highways Agency will be featuring information on many of its travel tools within the ‘Get Out More’ section of Carrentals.co.uk, which include live traffic maps across the UK, DAB Traffic Radio and a route checking programme that advises of any road closes or delays.
‘Get Out More’ features offers and discounts with many of the UK’s leading attractions and events to provide families with new and exciting places to visit over the summer months, from theme parks to live shows, balloon flights to aquariums.
