Save on your foreign exchange!
We've teamed up with Caxton FX who have come up with a great way
to save bank charges when you use your credit or debit card abroad. The
Caxton FX card is a pre-pay Mastercard which you simply load up with cash
before you go abroad. The exchange rates offered by Caxton are
market-leading and sure to beat the banks, and there is no commission
charge. In addition no charges are levied for using the card, unlike with
bank issued credit and debit cards. The card can be used as a normal
Mastercard to pay for purchases, and also works in cash machines just like a
debit card. The card can be topped up by phone, text or online from
your nominated bank account. Get one yourself and save on foreign exchange,
and why not get one for your off-spring's first solo trip abroad. They can
only spend what's on the card! Click to

Check out the Drive-Alive Blog!
Everybody's doing it, so we though we would too. There's a new
Drive-Alive blog where we will post details of special offers, sporting and
cultural events, and just general stuff related to driving abroad. We can
also let you know of any transport problems we hear of on ferries, or other
issues which may affect your journey. We'll use it to highlight particular
destinations we like, and might even share some opinions! The beauty of the
blog is we can post things as we receive them, unlike this newsletter which
we only produce approximately monthly.
If you're taking your car to Europe don't forget you can book en-route
hotels,
ferries and
Eurotunnel at the best possible rates by following the "Book" links on
the Drive-Alive website. Or leave
the car at home and travel on the excellent
Eurostar and
European rail network? Or maybe you'd prefer to fly and hire a car on
arrival. Check out the great offers from our two car hire partners,
Auto Europe and
Argus Car Rental.
You are receiving this newsletter because you indicated your acceptance
when you submitted your holiday proposal, or you have supplied your email
address via our website.
