Hiring car

Assistant: Good morning.

Customer: Good morning. I’m thinking of hiring a car next

week. I want a medium-size saloon car. Do you

have any cars available then, please?

Assistant: Yes, we do.

Customer: What kinds of cars are they?

Assistant: The cars we have are Ford Escorts or Renault 5.

Customer: How much would that cost for a week?

includes your insurance, which is third-party insur­ance and damage to the vehicle.

And do I have to pay something for the mileage? No, it’s unlimited mileage.

Unlimited mileage. But I pay for my own petrol, don’t I?

Oh, yes. We need a 10 pound petrol deposit, and we fill the tank up before you set off; and then when you get back, we fill it up again and deduct the cost of that from your deposit.

Uh-huh. And I have to pay for oil as well, don’t I? No, the car is all checked and oil put in before it goes out.

And the deposit is 10 pounds.

No, that’s for the petrol. The deposit for the hire is 45 pounds.

45 pounds. And do you accept credit cards?

Well, not all credit cards.

Well, which ones?

American Express, Barclaycard, Access,...

Good. And you need to see my driving licence, presumably.

Yes.

Is there anything else I need?

No, just the licence.

I see. Right. Oh, yes, about returning the car. Can I leave it somewhere else?

No, no, we don’t allow cars to be left anywhere else.

I see. Well, could I have a Renault 5 for next Mon­day for a week then, please?

Yes. What name is it?

Fisher.

And the address?

Oh. Well, I’m staying at the Royal Hotel in Baker Street.

What’s your home address?

51 Barker Road, Hong Kong.

Well, if you’d like to pay the deposit now, then you can pick the car up any time after eight o’clock on Monday.

Fine.

FLY-DRTVE HOLIDAYS IN THE US

On a fly-drive holiday the tourists fly to an airport where a rented car is waiting for the duration of the holiday. The car rent­al is included in the package price.

  1. What are the advantages of such a holiday for the tour­ist? What arrangements and deals would a tour operator have to make?

  2. Look at the extract from a fly-drive brochure about hol­idays in Florida. With a partner, decide whether to take an independent fly-drive holiday or one of the self-drive tours.

  3. In groups, plan a fly-drive holiday for a particular coun­try which you know well. Include information on accom­modation and other arrangements and a brief itinerary.

  4. Present the details of your holiday and itinerary to mem­bers of the other groups.

FLORIDA SELF-DRIVE TOURS BRITISH AIRWAYS HOLIDAYS

The best way of getting around in the fabulous “Sunshine State” is by self-drive car... you really can’t go wrong because driving in the US is not only convenient but also very simple, and petrol is cheap. We have included a rental-free car with al­most all of our Florida holidays, so travelling to and from the theme parks, superb beaches and other exciting attractions couldn’t be easier.

Choose an independent fly-drive holiday for complete flex­ibility and the freedom to travel at your own pace. Included is a flight to and from Miami or Orlando, plus a rental-free car. If you like, we can even arrange accommodation vouchers, giving you the opportunity to stay where you want, when you want, and for as long as you want.

If you prefer to leave the planning of your itinerary to some­one else, why not select one of our self-drive tours? We will pre­book all your accommodation.
