You can find detailed information about everything you may need to know as well as contact numbers and addresses if you need to get some info that is not available on the site. There are some other things to consider such as: 1. Who will be driving? 2. If you are under 25, will you have to cough up an insurance premium? 3. The kind of car you would want and the no of passengers it can seat comfortably? 4. Budget?

This way you can make sure that you have the car of your choice when you want it. This is all you will ever need to know about how to avail cheap car rentals.
How Much Does Your Car Really Cost You?? by By Buddy Evans, President of Big Bucks Auto™
For some people, cars are a necessity. They need a car to get to and from work, and other places. But for many others, cars are certainly not a requirement. People who live in big cities, for example, often don't need a car, but own a car, even if they're only using it every once in a while. With the economic problems facing us today and everyone trying to cut back on spending, one has to ask, "Do I really need a car?" Granted owning a car or two is part and parcel of the American Dream, but so is paying your mortgage, having a decent paying job and putting food on your families table. With these uncertain economic times, if one aspect of your American Dream is preventing you from achieving another more important goal, then maybe it is time to reprioritize. Yes, we understand that you waited your whole life to have that shiny, brand new car of your dreams, but remove your emotions of out of the equation and let's look at the facts. One way to decide this question is to look at the factors that add up to how much your car really costs you per year. Whether you drive a total beater, or a nice, expensive, luxurious gas-guzzler; selling your car will certainly save you money. That's because in nearly all instances, mass transit and other forms of commuting are cheaper than owning, maintaining, and fueling a car. We need to look at all the costs involved in car ownership. Car Insurance Cost of Gas and Fuel Maintenance and Repair Vehicle related licensing, registration and other fees Car purchase, loan payments and finance charges Parking, tolls, etc. Insurance: Automobile insurance costs are huge and keep on going up. Drivers pay more for auto insurance in states with significant urban populations, greater traffic density and a higher cost-of-living, though they are the people that are least required to own a car. Tort liability and other auto laws as well as each state's auto body repair labor costs, liability coverage requirements and theft rates also have an impact on auto insurance prices. While the average annual cost for auto insurance premiums nationwide for 2007 was estimated at $847 per policy, the top five most expensive cities (Detroit, Philadelphia, Newark, Los Angeles, and New York City) have rates from $5,162 to $3,127 per year. Even the most insurance friendly city, Roanoke Virginia, come in at $758.00 per year. That's a nice chunk of change. Gasoline: Granted gas has decreased to date to a national average under $2.50 a gallon, but the average American still uses 500 to 600 gallons of gasoline every year. As the average fuel economy of new cars and light trucks declined from a high of about 26 miles per gallon in 1988 to less than 24.5 mpg in 1999 due to larger vehicles, more horsepower, and increased sales of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and trucks, our consumption of gas has gone up with the price. Now almost 50% of the passenger vehicles on the road are SUVs and light trucks that do not have to meet the higher fuel economy standards of cars. Depending on where in the country you live, and depending on the gas prices, as the average vehicle is driven more than 12,000 miles per year today that adds at least another $1,250.00 to the cost of owning a car. If we happen to see another rise in prices as we did in the early summer of 2008, then you can just about double that number. At 4.10 a gallon, which was the height of the summer 2008 gas price increases, that number goes up to $2,050.00 dollars a year spent on gas alone. We all know it hurts when $50.00 does not even fill up your gas tank. Repair and Maintenance: Then there is the regular scheduled maintenance for a car. This number is a bit harder to pin down since so many factors must go into keeping a car in safe running condition. Baring the kinds of repairs that we all dread, like your car's drive shaft falling off the bottom of your car at the worst possible time; an oil change, fluid upkeep, and tires happen to all of us on a regular basis. Add in the somewhat semi-annual break change, mufflers and battery replacement and the cost of average car maintenance falls at about $340.00 to 650.00 a year. Vehicle related licensing, registration and other fees: One needs to add in the costs of licensing and inspection a vehicle as well if we are going to be realistic here. Inspections have a range of prices on them depending on whether or not emissions' testing is involved in your state. Registration and then the cost of keeping your driver's license too must be included. As registrations don't happen every year for everyone, the cost still comes out to between $200.00 and 690.00 per year; if you don't get any tickets. Purchase, loan payments and finance charges: Then, we can get to the actual cost of the car itself! Granted one can buy an old clunker out of the paper for $1,500.00, but if you are looking at the cost of a new car then based on 2006 prices, the average import price tag was $36,627 while the domestic new car price tag hovered in at $22,855. Average out the two, we have a basis of $29.741 to jump our numbers off of. That adds up to quite a hunky monthly car loan payment and with credit rates going through the roof, quite a bit of your money paid out in finance charges as well. For example, a new car priced out at 29,000 with a $7,000 down payment /trade in, an average tax of 7% and interest rate at the current US average of 6.58%, the monthly payment will be $549.94. That's $6,599.28 a year here, folks. Parking: Without getting too insane about figuring in the cost of your home and renting out the driveway or garage for your car, we can just look at tolls and parking costs on a major metropolitan city basis. Average daily rates for parking increased 3.5% from 2006 to 2007 bringing the cost of daily parking in some areas as high as $32.75 per day! That means, even if you just pay for parking on weekdays when you go to work, you can be spending over $8,500.00 just to put your car someplace when you are not using it! The grand total cost of owning a car in the US is…$19,799.00 per year. Taking the midrange amounts of the above calculations and adding them all up, it truly is almost twenty thousand dollars a year to keep a new to almost new mid range vehicle on the road in a city in the United States. If you keep that car for 5 years, then you are spending almost 100 thousand dollars for a car, something that can hit a tree and be gone in an instance. For many people that's a new house, or some really great vacations, or your child's college education! With a number like that staring you in the face, you can really take a good hard look at your emotional ties to your automobile and decided for yourself, "Do I really need to own this car?
What Does a CAR Have to Do With Your Executive Resume? by Laura SmithProulx If you're in the midst of a job hunt, you've likely added information to your resume that shows your job responsibilities and the scope of your authority throughout your career. But does your resume actually tell a story--or ALL of your success stories? You may have already realized that, in order to give a focused picture of your skills, you'll need to add metrics to your resume. However, the most powerful and meaningful resumes tell several entire stories that add up to a picture of effectiveness over the length of your career--no matter what your situation. To create a resume that truly represents the full spectrum of what you offer, consider taking a look at the results of your work using the C-A-R (Challenge-Action-Result) strategy. The C-A-R method consists of these steps: first, describe the situation you faced at work (Challenge), then what you did when faced with it (Action). Last but not least, the outcome (Result) that you achieved is the critical part. The C-A-R formula is a popular solution to BOTH resume writing and interview situations, and for good reason. When you describe your reaction to business problems, and the way in which you solve them, you give employers a clear picture of how you'll handle similar issues in your next job. As you might expect, true proof of your capabilities shouldn't merely be saved for the interview! Weaving examples of your achievements and bottom-line contributions in context throughout your resume will allow your leadership brand to take center stage as a theme. Here are some tips for developing success stories with the C-A-R method that will bring your executive resume to life--and make your accomplishments jump off the page: 1 - Look at your Challenges in context. All too often, executives will say that they've continually needed to make improvements in the core infrastructure of the businesses they're charged with leading. In these cases, the Challenge is clear. For other professionals, Challenges can come in the form of transitioning an organization to a new level of competence, or having the charter to improve team performance. Look carefully at the problems you've been asked to solve, and also at the problems you've NEEDED to solve, in order to lay the foundation for your success stories. 2 - Describe the Actions you took to resolve the issues. These Actions can be in the form of new programs instituted, design of business processes, or training to assist other professionals in meeting their responsibilities. In some cases, leadership professionals can be called upon to address issues outside of their typical span of control, such as handling a merger when the company is suddenly acquired. Whatever the scenario, it's best to describe Actions in very concise fashion, since you'll want to save room to show the impact of the situation (the Results) as the most important part of the story. 3 - Quantify your Results. Metrics play a crucial role in a compelling and powerful executive resume. In fact, there's no better way to underscore your capabilities for a leadership role than to show a profitable and favorable outcome to your actions. Where possible, add dollar figures, percentages, year-over-year growth metrics, and other quantifiable information to the story. You'll find that employers will key more into the Results on your resume than any other information you can present. In order to round out the C-A-R strategy, it's best to reformat your story so that the Results appear FIRST, followed by the Action or Challenge. These examples demonstrate the use of the C-A-R strategy: Original Sentence: Grew revenue 21% in 3 different markets. C-A-R Strategy: Grew revenue 21%, adding $1.7 million in 3 markets by training new sales representatives in benefit selling techniques. Original Sentence: Improved operations efficiency for production plant. C-A-R Strategy: Added 20% more operational output, despite use of outdated equipment, by developing training manual to increase employee efficiency. As you can see, using this method allows you to reframe your achievements by adding the context in which they occurred--which is a key part of these leadership success stories. Since employers value (and NEED) top performance more than ever in today's economy, resumes that show this information are more well-received, and capture MORE interviews for the candidates they represent. So, remember that adding achievements to your executive resume is only part of the story you can tell! Incorporating the C-A-R strategy will more vividly describe your professional and leadership style, competencies, and the positive effects of your work.
How to Stop One Speeding Ticket From Killing Your Car Insurance Rates by Anthony Peck One of the little white lies most parents try to feed their teen drivers as soon as they get their license is that a single speeding ticket is going to spell death to their car insurance rates. It's a good way to make sure that money conscious teens don't drive carelessly on the roads! Once they actually have that speeding ticket in hand, however, the consequences of a speeding ticket become a lot more real. Getting a speeding tickets out on the highways is easy, especially if you live in an area with numerous speed limit changes or spend a lot of time on the interstate (where if the speed of traffic is moving below 90 you're doing good). All it takes is a second of inattention on your part and you can be holding a ticket worth hundreds of dollars in court costs. The good news is, the court system knows how easy getting a speeding ticket can be. Especially for a teenager with a new license. That's why they came up with a few creative solutions to slapping that ticket on your record and calling it a day. Most drivers with their first speeding ticket will be given the option to attend a driver improvement course (driving school) and may, if they're a young driver, be sentenced to community service. If they successfully complete the course and their service the speeding ticket will be dropped from their record. Why would the ordinarily more than a little money hungry justice system willingly give their drivers this kind of an "out"? Because they know it's easy for drivers to drive a little too fast and they believe the lesson learned is more important than paying the ticket. And by the time you've done 40 hours of unpaid community service in the hospital emergency room cleaning up after the victims of car accidents like the one you could have had you'll lose the desire to find out how fast your wheels can go! The good news is, if you successfully complete driving school and avoid a conviction your car insurance company is never going to find out about it. You see, your car insurance provider gets your personal information from the DMV. The DMV only has traffic violations on record that you've been convicted of, since you could be accused of everything and in America you get to be innocent until proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt by the court system. A speeding ticket you're never convicted of is going to have no impact on your car insurance rates, so that first ticket they bring home probably isn't going to spell death to their chances of finding cheap insurance. Sorry moms and dads. Of course, it's important to make sure that your first speeding ticket is your last. It is possible for a judge to see if you've been assigned driving school before, especially if you get pulled over in the same county, and you're probably not going to get so lucky the next time. So the next time you're out on the highway take a second to think of your car insurance rates and let up on the gas pedal. Your checking account will thank you.
