‘New’ improved way to self-drive Europe
If you’ve ever booked a hire
car for use overseas only to
turn up and find there’s no
car available, or record of the
booking, you’ll know the bad
taste it can leave in your mouth
at the start of what was intended
to be a relaxing holiday.
Now you can take the uncertainty
out of your European
self-drive vacation with a
great-value deal from Renault
Eurodrive – with a brand-new
vehicle for lease for durations
of 21 days to six months.
Renault Eurodrive continues
to prove one of the most costeffective
and inclusive self-drive
holiday options for Australians
visiting Europe; for example 28
days cruising in a new car (including
all insurance), is priced
from just $1499.
“We have many clients who
come back and book their
holidays using one of the lease
vehicles from Renault,” said Paul
Hodges, General Manager Leasing
at Driveaway Holidays. “The
UP CLOSE: The wonders of Europe are easily accessible by road.
average lease duration is 52
days and put simply, our clients
love the fact they can select the
exact model from the extensive
range, every car is delivered
new and tax free from the factory
and there are no hidden
expenses or insurance costs
added on collection.”
Paul added that everything
is prepared and paid for in
Australia and at the end of the
lease period the car is simply
returned on the agreed date.
Renault then sell the cars on the
second-hand market in Europe
via the Renault Dealer Network.
Bigger discounts apply for
longer leases of more than 90
days.
“All of the cars are the latestrelease
models and feature European
GPS systems included
in the cost,” Paul said.
“In terms of value for
money, this leasing offer is a
wise choice; it’s simple-to-use,
all-inclusive and hassle-free
motoring for anyone looking
at a holiday in Europe for
three weeks plus.”
He said every vehicle was
delivered direct from the factory
and included full comprehensive
insurance and, best
of all, a zero excess insurance
policy.
Rates include unlimited
kilometres, no charge for an
additional driver, full factory
warranty and back-up from a
24-hour assistance service.
Their 29 Delivery and
Return centres across Europe
can be used and all collections
and returns within France are
free of delivery fees (for deliveries
or collections outside
of France, such as Germany,
Italy, Spain, Portugal a small
fee applies). This provides
great options for holidaymakers
who for example may wish
to collect their car in Paris and
leave the car at Rome at the
end of their holiday.
