Why own a car? Through companies like Cheap Car Hire you can pick one up whenever you need one, then send it back when you're done. No using it when you really don't need to, no horrors of trying to find parking, no leaving petrol lying around to rot in your tank when you do abstain from driving. (You did know petrol decays, right?) Not only that, but they have vehicles available everywhere from Alicante to Tenerife. How? They pool results from all major car companies online, then give you the cheapest-best offers. Book online (rather than via phone) to get extra discounts of up to 30%. [GT]
