Renault Eurodrive Salutes Seniors -- Any European traveler 70 or older
knows that renting a car through a traditional rental car company in
Europe can be difficult. Why? Because that's the upper age limit
imposed by many car rental companies. Renault Eurodrive considers
seniors among the most experienced and conservative drivers on the
road. For that reason, the Renault Eurodrive short-term lease program
imposes no upper age limit.
As part of Renault's 2006 "Salute to Seniors," Eurodrive offers a
10 percent discount on any model, compact or larger, when the car is
booked with the American Express Senior Member Card. 2006 rates start
at $899 for a 17-day lease of the sub-compact Renault Clio. Additional
days are $22 beyond the initial lease period. Cars must be picked up by
Dec. 31, 2006.
The Renault Eurodrive short-term lease program provides an economic
incentive for people who have more than a couple weeks to spend in
Europe. The longer you lease a Renault, the less the daily rate. The
optimum lease period for maximum savings is one to six months, a
time-frame tailored for people with flexible schedules.
Through the Eurodrive program, you lease a brand new,
never-before-driven Renault at rates that compare to a conventional car
rental. You are charged a set fee for the first 17 days of the lease
and a nominal per day fee for the remaining time. You choose from the
entire line of Renault Eurodrive vehicles, which come straight from the
factory. Because the cars are right off the assembly line, you get the
exact model you order, complete with options such as an automatic
transmission or on-board navigation system (GPS).
With Renault's short-term leasing program, you pay no VAT (18.6% in
France) or additional charges such as fees for airport pickup or
additional drivers. Mileage is always unlimited, so you can drive to
your heart's content.
Every car comes with a full factory warranty and insurance with no
deductible that covers collision, personal injury, fire and theft.
Eurodrive customers can access Renault's toll-fr.ee, English-speaking
network of agents and its 17,000 qualified service stations throughout
Europe around the clock.
There are 35 Renault pick-up and drop-off locations in nine countries.
You can pick up a car in one country and drop it off in another.
Eurodrive short-term leases are 17 days through six months. In certain
cases, leases can even be extended to one year.

Passengers Face Lie Detector Tests - - If you thought pat-downs and
wanding was intrusive, security may go to a while new level in Russia.
Airline passenger traveling to or through Russia will have to take a
lie detector test. The new security measure, to start at Moscow's
Domodedovo airport about July, is geared to identify terrorists and
drug smugglers.
Initially, passengers thought as "suspicious" by the FSB, the
security service that succeeded the KGB, will take the test.
Eventually, it will apply to all passengers.
Test takers will pick up the handset of a "truth verifier" and
will be asked questions. If someone fails, they are accompanied by a
guard to a cubicle where questions are asked in a "more intense
atmosphere." The four questions asked are: your full identity, have
you ever lied to the authorities, are you carrying weapons or
narcotics. To cut delays to a minimum, passengers will take the test
after putting their shoes and baggage through the X-ray machines and
before retrieving them. Officials insist that it will take between 30
seconds and a minute.
The verifier machine, developed by an Israeli company, can establish
if answers come from memory or imagination. Currently, some insurance
companies in Britain use the technology to screen for fraud.

Protect Luggage with Baggage Guard Seals -- The pre-numbered, one-time

easily removed. A package of 10 Baggage Guard Seals is still only
$9.95.
