Not many are aware of it, but there are a wide range of accessories as well as optional extras for your rental car available to make your trip to the UK more convenient and even more enjoyable. One of the most important accessories you can ask about is snow chains. Matter of fact, snow chains are often a requirement in order to drive safely. There is usually a one-time cost for snow chains. Plus you can also rent ski racks, and snowboard racks for the time you’ll be renting your car.

Another great accessory for your car hire is a short term mobile phone. Renting a mobile a phone extremely straight forward and you can pay for your calls as you go. A GPS navigational program. Most systems are straight forward and can really take the stress out of driving through the UK on roads that are unfamiliar. If you are traveling with children, an accessory you may need is a booster seat hire or child seat hire. These two items are usually free and can be included in the car rental if you ask.

There are also a few more free accessories for your rental car. Typically 24 hour roadside assistance, touring maps of the city streets are available. Travel with the peace of mind that if something unfortunate happens like a flat tire, you’ll be back on the road as fast as humanly possible. You can also have access to free touring and accommodation guidebooks to help with your hotel stay or other leisurely activities. Truthfully, getting the right accessories for your car hire can make all the difference when you are on vacation.

A short trip is where the low-cost, small airlines really shine. They can offer short flights at a lower cost by using smaller planes, shorter routes, and smaller airports. In a city like London there is a behemoth airport like Heathrow and the major airlines collect at one airport. But the city also has smaller airports where these low-cost carriers can offer cheaper flights on the shorter routes like Luton to Paris.

The opportunities for inexpensive flights from Luton to Paris abound. Finding them on the Internet is two-fold. First, one can try to find flights on travel sites like Orbitz or Expedia. Unfortunately, many of these sites are major carrier-centric. They do not serve the smaller airlines, part of that is because the underlying data system charges the airlines big bucks to be a part of it. Therefore, to find deals on flights one has to go to the smaller airline’s own site and search individually. Though, a bit more work, it can pay off in huge savings.

Therefore, the second step is see what airlines serve a particular airport. Looking at Luton Airport one will find that EasyJet offers a lot of good deals being a low-cost carrier. EasyJet has a number of Luton to Paris flights available depending on day of the week. The cost also fluctuates according to season, with off-season rates being quite low.

If one would fancy a rail trip from the airport, Eurostar can bring one to Paris from Luton by using a couple of train companies and a connection in London.
