CAR rental company, Europcar, which has an office in Tonbridge, is offering a discount of 15 per cent off any rental of three days or more this month.

Marie Barry, managing director for Europcar UK, said: "We recognise that post-Christmas can be a depressing time. This offer is just one way to help cheer our customers up.

"Why not take advantage by renting a luxury car and going away for a long weekend? There's nothing better than leaving your car at home and swapping it for a plusher model, even if it is just for a short time."

The offer lasts until January 31 and is subject to availability. For more details call 0870 607 5000 or visit www.europcar.co.uk quoting the reference 45893601 to obtain the 15 per cent discount.
