With school holidays on the horizon and the promise of warmer weather, a break in Europe is now better value than ever thanks to Alamo Rent A Car’s free upgrade offer.

Travellers booking an economy, compact or intermediate car from Alamo can take advantage of a special upgrade deal from now until 17th May.  Customers simply book the car group they want to rent but only pay for the class below.  For example, a customer booking an intermediate car for rental in France such as the Citroen C5 1.8 or Citroen Xsara Picasso will only pay for a Compact group such as Citroen C4 1.6 making a saving of up to 10%.  The deal is available for rentals in 20 European countries.*

Whether it’s trekking the Italian mountains, in search of Spanish summer sun or thinking ahead to French winter snow, Alamo’s car rental upgrade will allow customers to travel in style and comfort, with a bit more room and a bit more engine power to see all the sights.

The promotion applies to new bookings made on Alamo.co.uk before 17 May 2008 and is  valid for any rental duration between 17 March 2008 and 31 March 2009.

Tom Middleditch, Alamo Rent A Car’s Marketing Manager says: “Europe is so diverse and has much to offer the traveller, from the beauty of the French countryside to the mountains and beaches of Italy where car rental is a must for those wanting to explore at their own pace.  This special deal will ensure that customers enjoy the freedom car rental offers in the comfort of an Alamo car, discovering the gems that will make their trip one to remember.”

*Car rental is subject to availability. Standard Alamo terms and conditions apply. Excludes Germany.
