Europcar has launched its new year sale with a whopping up to 50% discount on UK car hire in January 2010.

Brits aren’t quite as switched on to green driving as their European cousins.

Europcar, the UK’s leading vehicle hire provider is offering families its top tips for keeping boredom at bay this half term. Catriona Lougher, Marketing Director said: “Huddling in the car out of the wind and rain is not everyone’s idea of a perfect holiday and can give rise to frayed tempers and frustrated kids.
