• Roamin' Round Rome in a Rented Car

  Having watched Roman Holiday 20 times, you now fancy yourself as either Gregory Peck or Audrey Hepburn coolly whizzing round the Trevi Fountain or past the Spanish Steps on your MotoVespino. They make it look so easy, and its not all that hard – so why not rent yourself a Car while in Rome and take a look the sites from behind the wheel. After a day or two driving in Rome you will notice two things; firstly that there seems to be a lot of teeny tiny Fiat Bambinos and Smart Cars about, and secondly that a lot of cars have dings in the bodywork – particularly at the back

  The first is because some of Rome’s streets are only big enough to fit a Bambino or Smart car, and the second is that parking in Rome is more of an abandon and run move than anything you may have previously experienced as actual parking.

  So, keeping this In mind you should be leaning toward a compact car and with fully-comprehensive insurance – even it means an extra few euro a day then take it – you will save in the long run.

  Well first to our old friends at Kemwell who are offering Car Rentals in Rome for as little as 27euro per day Their locations at both Airports – (Ciampino and Fiumicini), Main Railway Station - Stazioni Termini, and City Centre ensure that you’ll have no problem finding them.

  Nova Car Rental are coming in with some tasty offers too – with a 3 or 5 Door Fiat Panda or Renault Clio for under 200euro and can be picked up at either the Airport, Train Station or City Centre Location

  So drive carefully, and ciao bella

• it's O.K., you won't have to avoid the Bulls in a Madrid Rented Car - Ole!

  When residents of some of the major European Capitals were asked to name the locations that spoke to them of their home city the Parisians mentioned the Eiffel, the Romans the Colliseum, the Londoners Big Ben, but the Madrilenos told us about the cafes, bars and plazas. Madrid is a subtle city that, while it doesn’t immediately grab you, it will slowly and irreparably grow on you, and last forever. Madrid is a sprawling city centre and is well worth seeing from street level as that is where Mardilenos advertise their beauty, fashion and chic smoking poses during breakfast, lunch and at the evening paseo – where all the beautiful people from 8 to 80 parade the streets strutting their beautified stuff – so you don’t want to miss all this from beneath the asphalt stuck on the Metro

  so, get yourself a car and check it all out

  First, things first though – Madrid gets damn hot in the summer – so while the convertible will be nice and cool in the evening, just make sure whatever you step into has got fully equipped air-con.

  Europcar are based in both terminal 1 and terminal 4 at Madrid airport and will supply you with a compact or economy for under 300euro for the week

  Kemwel a U.S. based rental company, with locations at the Airport and the City Centre will set you on the road for under 250euro for an economy or compact – all inclusive – with deals working out as little as 38euro per day, if you’re only taking a short break and fancy zipping across the Castillian plains to the Renaissance city of Salamanca, or south to Caceres or Toledo

  Anycarhire though have come in with the best value deals from Madrid Airport with amazing offers like a Peugeot 207 for under 150euro from Argus car hire, or a Ford Fusion 5door for under 200euro also from Argus. While CarHire 3000 offer an Opel Meriva people carrier for just over 200 euro per week - unbeatable value

  Just be warned though – keep your eye on the Spanish drivers, who tend not to acknowledge the use of an indicator when zipping on and off roundabouts!
