Parents & Children Encouraged to Get Road Sense this Winter

Car hire comparison website launches new winter road safety offers for children and adults

19 October 2009 – New road safety offers to help children – and adults – stay safe this winter have been launched by car hire comparison site Carrentals.co.uk.

With the clocks going back, the company’s new Road Sense campaign is designed to offer advice, offers and support to families concerned about safety as the nights draw in.

Offers include 10% off the full range of high visibility accessories and clothing for children from BrightKidz – with the discount available on everything from jackets and fleeces, to hats and umbrellas, all designed to be fun and help kids be seen. In addition, high visibility clothing provider Cyberglow is offering a 20% discount on its range of colourful reflective stickers and badges, and selection of luminous road safety clothing.

Me-Mo.co.uk – the first online car accessory store aimed primarily at girls is also offering 20% off all products (excluding Isotta Urban Glow range or Minnetonka driving shoes). The website, which primarily focuses on women, but also offers gift ideas for men too, features accessories such as steering wheel covers, seat belt comforters, car seat covers and travel blankets.

While personal safety specialist Survival Box is offering a 15% discount off emergency Winter Car Kits, which include items such as a high visibility jacket, first aid kit, ice scraper, high energy food and more.

Gareth Robinson, managing director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “Winter can be a very dangerous time on the roads – for drivers and pedestrians.  Particularly with the dark nights, children can be vulnerable and the aim of Road Sense is to help parents keep their families safe.

“The Road Sense website features a growing range of offers, all of which are easily accessible online, together with a range of advice and information to help improve awareness of road safety.”

The Carrentals.co.uk Road Sense website – www.carrentals.co.uk/roadsense2009 – also offers the chance to win an essential winter kit worth £150 from Halfords, including a tyre pressure gauge, a high visibility jacket, and an N-drive Sat Nav.

Advice on issues such as winter driving, car care, driving at night and what to do in an accident is also available on the site.

Carrentals.co.uk compares prices from over 35 rental companies, including Alamo, Budget, Hertz, Holiday Autos, Sixt and Thrifty, in over 2000 locations worldwide.
