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. But with the right clothing to brave the elements and some games up your sleeve to see through the worst downpours, a bit of wind and rain can actually be quite exhilarating.

Europcar, the European leader in car hire, has launched a customised online reservation tool for customers of its hotel partner, Accor. A facility previously only offered with airline bookings is now available for Europe’s leading hotel group and its 4,000 hotels worldwide.
