Carrentals.co.uk has released guidelines with advice for football fans making the journey to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The leading car rental comparison site asked fans to carefully plan and prepare before leaving home in order to ensure the best time possible at the World Cup finals. Travellers from all across the globe will meet in South Africa next month to watch their teams compete.

The Carrentals.co.uk guidelines are intended for World Cup fans who will watch each game live. Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, said that fans making their way to South Africa in June can ensure a great experience by being as prepared as possible.

Useful guidelines for World Cup travellers include tips on planning ahead, getting around, staying safe, accommodation and match days. Checking that your passport is still valid and getting the relevant shots from the doctor featured in the ‘planning ahead’ category.

Fans were also advised that transport should be arranged before arrival. With two match destinations Cape Town and Polokwane so far apart, Gareth said that it is best to book a hire car in advance. Supporters were also told to stay safe by leaving valuables in secure areas.
