The Dollar Rent A Car group, which is part of the Dollar Thrifty Automotive organisation, has today announced that its British website will feature a brand new travel blog.

The new offering will feature contributions from around the globe with a variety of subjects covered and car hire tips of course. The aim is to provide customers with information relative to their car hire process and destination, including an expansive section dedicated to driving throughout the United States. In Europe, the blog will aim to cover topics such as differing road rules and conditions for continental travel along with itineraries and suggestions to accompany routes taken.

A driving holiday can be greatly enhanced if local, on the ground, real time information can be obtained. Helping customers discover destinations is now seen as a key component of any rental car company, as the economic downturn has placed a greater emphasis on customer service.

The blog will feature a number of writers who have already contributed to some of Britain’s more well known travel and living media. With backgrounds in a range of specialties including airlines and tour operators the knowledge base for the site could prove and invaluable resource.

The US headquartered Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group claims in its mission statement that it will offer ‘value every time’ through its dual brands of Thrifty Car Rental and Dollar Rent A Car. With over 6,000 employees and an expanding international operation the group is one of the leading players in car hire.
