CAR RENTAL TIPS FOR TODAY      1.  WHEN ASKING OR CHECKING AUSTRALIAN CAR HIRE RATES MAKE SURE YOU ASK IF THE EXCESS REDUCTION FEE IS INCLUDED IN THE RATE, IF NOT HOW MUCH EXTRA PER DAY AND DOES THE RATE INCLUDE ALL AIRPORT TAXES AS THIS CAN ADD OVER 10% TO YOUR RENTAL    2. WHEN IN EUROPE ALWAYS PURCHASE A FOREIGN NEWSPAPER AND LEAVE IT ON THE REAR PARCEL SHELF OR DASH WHEN YOU PARK THE CAR.
