Award-winning car rental website Carrentals.co.uk is helping tourists to enjoy fairer services and the best deals thanks to a new scheme named ‘Raising the Standard’. The programme gets people the best advice around from a range of travel experts.

The new Raising the Standard scheme will seek to get travellers the best and fairest services and deals around and Carrentals.co.uk has launched the scheme to assist people in not having to pay over the odds when travelling. It will also help people avoid heavy hidden charges on travel deals and aspects.

Raising the Standard can be found online at the new car hire forums address, where registered site visitors can enjoy use of a forum, a blog and a range of downloadable papers to help them with any travel problems and issues they have. The papers include information on car hire, flights, accommodation, holiday health issues, travel insurance and lots of different optional holiday extras.

The forum operates as a place to discuss any and all travel and holiday issues, and moving forward Carrentals.co.uk intends to offer interactive question and answer sessions with leading travel industry experts on the forum.

Gareth Robinson, managing director of Carrentals.co.uk, comments: “We’ve always wanted to grow our site into something more than the leading car hire comparator around, and since hiring a car is only one element of a trip, our new scheme offering an interactive resource on all things travel will be invaluable.”

Carrentals.co.uk struck partnerships to help operate the new campaign, including with such leading travel industry lights as Questor Insurance, Zintech, Fly.co.uk and Self Catering Breaks. All of the companies will be able to offer their own brand of expertise to site users.

Andrew Lawrence of Questor Insurance comments: “With the web being home to just so much news and information on holidays and travel, it’s important to have a resource which can address the issues professionally. Raising the Standard will be a great source of news and advice on all the things the traveller needs to know including travel insurance.”

Any web user is able to register for the Raising the Standard forum which Carrentals.co.uk monitors at all times. The company also commits to providing fast, helpful responses to queries at all times.
