Talking about the new partnership with the Highways Agency is the Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, Gareth Robinson: "Our Get Out More campaign is proving extremely popular and with our new partnership with the Highways Agency we can offer safety tips as well as great deals. This means that summer 2010 will be more affordable a whole lot safer!"

The travel tools on offer through the Highways Agency allow travellers to travel safer by providing drivers ideas on how they can make a journey more interesting to avoid boredom. Live maps along with DAB Traffic Radio and route checking systems are also on offer.
