Business travel to Hawaii can be made easier with a few tips to save you time and money so you can work in a few hours of rest and relaxation.

Tips for Business Travel to Hawaii

1. If you are taking a trip to Hawaii from outside of the United States, keeping extra copies of your passport on hand will speed up your trip through customs. Once the customs agent verifies that the copy matches your original passport, you are waved through without waiting for the agent to make his own copy. Keep your passport, tickets and receipts in the same place.

2. Carry your laptop with you. If needed, your wireless laptop can access the airport’s WI-FI network to make last minute flight changes, locate a hotel room or secure a rental car. This can save you from standing in line to make changes should your flight be delayed or cancelled. Bring along your laptop’s charger so you plug in while waiting for your fight.

3. Arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled flight. Airport security is tight and may cause delays in boarding. If you are one of the first passengers boarding the plane, you are less likely to be bumped from an overbooked flight.

4. Re-book your seats and print out the confirmation to verify your seat purchase. This can help straighten out any confusion over the airline’s flawed booking system and get your boarded faster.

5. You can request a specific seat upon check-in. You can request for a seat near the exit or bathroom or far away from the noisy galley and heavily travelled path to the restrooms allows you to work during the flight without needless distractions.

6. Plan your travel route from the airport to your destination before leaving home and get an approximate estimate of the cost of the cab fare. Keep this cash handy and make sure the cabbie does not give you the scenic tour.

7. Pack for only half of the days you will be staying in Hawaii and take advantage of the hotel’s laundry service.

8. Roll up your socks and place them inside your shoes to increase the room on your luggage and keep your shoes from crushing blows by baggage handlers.

9. Call your hotel before packing and inquire what items the hotel provides. Most hotels provide a hair dryer, iron, and coffee maker in the room.

10. Keep in mind that Hawaii weather is very mild, but November is the rainy season. Pack your swimsuit, a rain jacket, umbrella, and dress for warm weather.

These tips for business travel to Hawaii will help your trip go smoothly and free up a few extra moments to experience the Hawaiian culture and scenery during your trip.

Car Rentals Firm Offers Easier Choice

How do you think you find a good car rental agency? I get around 10 emails per day from Car Rental firms promoting their latest special offers and discounted vehicle rental prices in Europe and America.  Until recently I’ve always doubted if I’m actually getting the best deal out of the hundreds of companies pushing car rentals on the internet… yet everythime I book a flight, or order a hotel somewhere it seems the travel agency or hotel etc ask me about my car rental needs !!!

How do you know if the price they are being offered is a competitive price?  yes there are deals out there in the car rental market nowadays but with such a huge choice its got to the stage that its important to see all the offers available clearly in one place.

With price comparison sites jumping up all over the place it makes sense to check them out, they seem very good when it comes to insurance and buying a car, but not when it comes to rental it seems, Now it seems, there’s a system which pulls data from the top 30 or so car rental companies around the world and sort through the results that they give you to provide the customer with the best choice of car rentals available on any specific day.  The system is integrated into special sites as I’ve seen it running in a few different websites Marbella Car Rentals is one.  (Ideal if you need to pick up a rental car from Malaga for instance and drive down the sunny coast of the Costa Del Sol|This site specialises in providing car rentals for collection at Malaga Airport Spain|An ideal website for private apartments and car rentals in Andalucia|Perfect for travelling around the Costa Del Sol}.  Also the sister web site for renting a car in Nerja has the same facility.

I’ve heard that the property rental group Rentin.TV is including this car rental portal in every niche property rental site they have through their whole network… so the day might be just around the corner where we only have to think of one name “Rent In” when we need to find a guaranteed low price for car rental wherever we are in the world !!
