How To Get Car Hire Deals On Discounts

Posted on Mar 28th, 2010

One of the hardest things to come by is a good discount rental car. You’ve heard it said that sometimes you get what you pay for, and this is often true with respect to rental cars. In other words, a low-rent vehicle often means you don’t get much in the way of quality. Not much of a bargain in the long run, is it? So, how do you end up getting a good discount rental car these days without driving away from the lot in something you might not otherwise want to be caught dead in? Here are a few timely tips.

When you bring back your rental car, make sure the tank is filled with gas from the cheapest station on the road. That’s not because you’re mean, it’s just because if you don’t bring it back full, the rental company will fill it for you with very expensive gas, and that will only hurt your wallet.

If you truly want to make the word “discount” in the term “discount rental car” really stand for something, one way to do so is to try and make your reservation early. Many companies give their customers such discounts – or even free upgrades – to those who exercise this option.  Read more...

Posted on Mar 25th, 2010

Portland, Oregon has long been considered a hotbed of mixed martial arts. The area is home to numerous MMA gyms, the most famous being Gresham’s Team Quest. Regional MMA promotions like Matt Lindland’s SportFight and amateur MMA draws good crowds, and there’s few markets in the country that have such a strong mainstream acceptance and understanding of mixed martial arts.

The UFC scheduled their Rose City debut for August 29th, headlined by a matchup between local hero Couture and tough PRIDE vet Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. They anticipated a fever pitch for Couture’s homecoming and the UFCs first ever trip to the Pacific Northwest.
