Special deals on car rentals<\/p>\n

Aussies using lease vehicles in Europe should be delighted\u00a0 with the offer by Renault Eurodrive which includes\u00a0 an additional seven-days free vehicle use on top of 21-day bookings.\u00a0\u00a0 Prices are actually below those of 2009\u00a0 This is one deal which is so good it will last only to cover bookings made and paid by April 30 and for collection any time up to December 31 2010.\u00a0 Check this one out with your travel agent, or go visit www.renaulteurodrive.com.au<\/a> or telephone 1300 5511 60.\u00a0 I like the sound of this offer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just love Amtrak<\/p>\n

It’s now possible to book US rail network Amtrak on line. The Amtrak rail pass includes key US cities.\u00a0 Available for eight segments over 15 days, 12 segments over 30 days or 18 segments over 45 days.\u00a0 The 15-day deal is priced from $453 adult\/ $227 for a child.\u00a0 For other prices and conditions go visit www.railplus.com.au<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n

Cruising European waterways<\/p>\n

Pre-registrations are now open for the 2011 European collection of cruises.\u00a0 By paying the pre-registration deposit of $500 you get to select your preferred cruise, cabin and departure date\u00a0\u00a0 You will still qualify for generous early booking discounts when the cruises open for sale in the next few months.\u00a0 A wise move would be to go visit www.avalonwaterways.com.au<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n

Battlefield sites are part of tour<\/p>\n

War relics, battlefield sites and memorials form part of a Western Front tour. Reduced rates on a three-day battlefield tour departing London apply for sale from $788.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Prices\u00a0 are per person, twin share and that includes a saving of $174 per couple.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Included are two nights accommodation, return Eurostar transfers from London, European breakfast daily, battlefield guide, on-tour transport and itinerary\u00a0 fees as per the published itinerary.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Check it out by calling 1800 044 066. International airfares not included and price is valid until April 30 2010 for travel every Saturday\u00a0 until November 2010.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rail enthusiasts<\/p>\n

I reckon the tours on offer for touring India aboard plush rail carriages and being looked after like royalty, would have to be a consideration. There are some packages available priced from $6337 per person, twin share.\u00a0 That includes cabin accommodation, all meals including beer and wine with dinner.\u00a0 The Maharajas’ Express caters for just 82 passengers, has two fine dining restaurants, a bar and an observation lounge, plus butler service, celebrity chefs and guest lecturers.\u00a0 Simply telephone 1300 558 987 for more details, prices and conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

* Please note conditions may apply to these packages\u00a0 and prices are subject to change and availability.\u00a0 This information is provided as a guide only.\u00a0 Check with your travel agency.\u00a0\u00a0 Block-out periods may apply.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Need a holiday ?\u00a0 We’re archived on\u00a0 http:\/\/travellersgoodbuys.info<\/a>\u00a0
