Hi all,
Stumbled across a very interesting article about travel blogging and how some companies are now more fearful of blogs than mainstream media.
The one that really caught my eye was the story of Debbie Dubrow who posted a blog after Advantage rent a car, who have recently gone in to administration and subsequently been purchased by Enterprise Rent A Car, who own Alamo,?offered her an “aged, unclean, and in many cases broken” car seats for her child. The resulting blog post had a major effect which I’m sure not even the blogger could have expected.
“It eventually led ABC News to pick up and investigate the story,” she told?CNN.
“Its impact reached far beyond a single news broadcast, though.” Indeed, the company pledged to clean up its act, and California agreed to revisit its child safety-seat laws.
An amazing result and shows what can be achieved by a motivated travel blogger.
Do you feel strongly about anything our suppliers are doing at present either rightly or wrongly?
If you one of our customers, please feel free to send us a link to your blog and we will add it to our blog roll.
Happy motoring,
Gavin

Welcome to the new look www.usrentacar.co.uk website. We have launched some new features which we hope will help improve your visit, including this blog.
?
About the blog
This is our second attempt at introducing blogs to U.S. Rent A Car, the first time I believe?I was?slightly to ambitious with what?I wanted and expected. I had a dream of U.S. Rent A Car customers blogging away on our site, offering hints and tips to each other and developing a community feel. I realise now that this dream, is just that….a dream. I’m not sure its totally possible for a niche website like ours to build up that sort of following. So I basically put this on the back burner.
However when XL went bust and we needed to communicate changes that were forced upon us I realised that?the blog would have been an ideal way of communicating these alterations. So instead of building a community, the www.usrentacar.co.uk/blog will be used as a tool to communicate with you (the customer) about what is happening at us rentacar. I will try my best to also post items I find interesting and possibly beneficial.
New stuff
Apart from this blog, we are also introducing some new features that we hope will increase your enjoyment of the site.
U.S. Rent A Car New Site
Ask Arnie
Arnie is the latest member of the usrentacar team. Arnie the Eagle (ask arnie) is here to help you with any questions you may have concerning your us car rental. Simply begin to type in your question, Arnie with the use of predictive?question software?will try to guess your question and with one click will provide you with the answer. Hopefully saving you the cost of a phone call.
Most popular locations
This offers a glimpse in to real time bookings. It shows the most popular locations that our customers are searching for at any one time.
Search reviews
Since we launched the customer review service we have received over 10,000 personal reviews of our suppliers and the service they produce at each location. We have now made the review section more relative to the individual location, you, the customer is searching for. Not only do we now show the percentage score for the overall supplier service, but we also offer the score per location. We are still the only car rental company to offer this.
Advanced filtering
Offering up to 6 suppliers per location does mean that the amount of content can become cluttered, we have added an advance filtering service that should make your car hire search much easier.
Compare
To increase our search engine further we have introduced a “compare” facility that will allow customers to tick vehicles they are interested in and then display them all on one screen.
Look and feel
Of course the most striking thing is almost the total change of look and feel for the site. We were going for modern, fresh and above all fast. Failures of the last website were definitely the speed of loading, we hope we’ve put this right now.? Do you like the new look?
If we’ve missed something please let me know.
Regards,
Gavin Boswell,
