Carhire Spain Reviews

If you have a hankering for exploring the southern central region of the USA, you might wish to consider Texas as your springboard and take advantage of the wide range of Houston car hire deals.

Houston is the biggest city in Texas, which is also the biggest state in the United States (after Alaska). Getting around this oil-rich state was almost designed to be done by car and this gives you, too, the chance to hit the open road and the freedom to explore wherever and whatever takes your fancy.

Houston makes an ideal starting point not least because of the Houston Airport System – a complex of three airports, in fact, centred on the George Bush Intercontinental Airport but also including two others used principally for domestic services, charter flights and private aircraft.

As a city of more than 3 million souls, Houston of course has its fair share of attractions – not least the world famous Space Centre. But it’s a small step from NASA’s mission control centre to a beautiful, 350-mile coastline of beaches along the state’s Gulf Coast stretching from the Rio Grande and South Padre Island as far as the border with neighbouring Louisiana. You might find the route not only picture-perfect but almost tailor made for the best of USA car hire.

Setting out from Houston

One of the problems of arriving somewhere as metropolitan as Houston, of course, is the overwhelming sense of scale. Bewildered and maybe more than a little tired after what might have been a long flight, you may not feel quite up to the task of first standing in line and then negotiating the best of deals on your Houston car hire.

Fortunately, that need not prove the headache you might be dreading.

With only the minimum of forward planning, you might choose to select and pre-book your rental car from the comfort of your home before you have taken even the first step of your travels. Indeed, there are online agents who are able to take just a few details about your rental needs and requirements, scour thousands of listings for hire cars in and around Houston, and practically instantly come up with quotes to suit your budget.

In that way, you may need to search no further for all your Houston car hire needs.

The arrival of RyanAir and other low cost airlines at Girona Airport in the north eastern corner of Spain has made the region an attractive weekend destination. With a flight time of around 2 hours from the UK, it is possible to spend a weekend break in Girona. As well as being around an hour and 20 minutes north of Barcelona, Girona has plenty to offer visitors. The city has a beautiful old town area built on the banks of the Onyar River. Girona is around 15 minutes from the airport.
Girona Airport is also the main gateway to the Costa Brava, so in summer months it is generally very busy. For the rest of the year the region is quieter, although it is an all year destination with low cost flight operator Ryanair. In the winter months the airport is mainly used by visitors to Barcelona. There are coaches to Barcelona which connect with all the Ryanair flights.
Like all of the Costa Brava, Girona has a Mediterranean climate, which means even in the winter months, the daytime temperatures are generally very mild. The early spring and autumn are good months to visit and enjoy the warm sunshine. Being located around 30km inland, the temperatures are slightly cooler than on the coast in winter, and a little warmer in summer. Temperatures typically reach 13-16 degrees maximum in the winter months.
Girona itself is a small town, with a beautiful old town and cathedral. Girona old town is intersected by a river, and is well worth spending at least a day exploring. There is a market on Saturdays. The town has not been spoilt by tourism and retains much of its Spanish charm.
The museum of Salvador Dali in Figueres just to the north of Girona attracts many visitors. The museum was designed by the artist himself, and although it contains the world’s most comprehensive collection of his original paintings, it is the internal design and architecture which is possibly even more striking. In the busy summer months there may be queues, so it is worth booking tickets in advance.
