The Travel Detective: How to Get the Best Service and the Best Deals from Airlines, Hotels, Cruise Ships, and Car Rental Agencies

The Travel Detective: How to Get the Best Service and the Best Deals from Airlines, Hotels, Cruise Ships, and Car Rental Agencies Renowned travel authority and NBC Today show travel editor Peter Greenberg shares his insider secrets.

Americans now travel more than ever before. Yet as our traveling has increased, the service we receive from airlines, hotels, and other agencies has deteriorated dramatically. Industry surveys reveal what you already feel: growing dissatisfaction among travelers of every age, income, and education level. We've been abused by the travel experience. Peter Greenberg is here to help. The Travel Detective tells you the things most travel agents can't — or sometimes just won't — tell you. In his characteristic friendly and conversational tone, Greenberg tells how to find the secret walk-up fares that can save air travelers hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on last minutes flights; which coach seats on which planes are better than first class; the secret rule to know to avoid being bumped from a flight, which cruise ship brochures lie; which credit card companies are fastest — and slowest — to come to your aid in a foreign land, or worse, in the U.S.,; which hotels have the best — and the worst — fire and crime safety records, and how you can protect yourself; how to negotiate the best hotel room deal; which hotels have the worst water pressure in their showers (and better yet, how you can get great water pressure, even at those hotels); and much, much more. Accessible and entertaining, The Travel Detective gives you the information and tools you need to make every trip an affordable pleasure.

Bicycle Rental Overseas

When you think about Bicycle Rental Overseas, what do you think of first? Which aspects of Bicycle Rental Overseas are important, which are essential, and which ones can you take or leave? You be the judge.

Cycling overseas in a foreign country can be a great experience. If you decide to hire a bike when on holiday then getting your bike to the start of the trail is usually one of the biggest challenges. If you are lucky you can cycle it from the rental shop just like I did when on vacation in Bath, England. The store, Avon Valley Cycle Hire was near the town centre and behind the centrally located train station. Fortunately the cycle path was less that 1/2KM from store. Contrast this with the time I hired four bikes from a cycle store for my wife, my two four year old children (twins) and I in Noirmoutier France. This time I had to rent the bikes from a near by small village five miles from the intended cycle path.

Peddles were hanging out of the back of the car they were everywhere! The trunk was held open with string to prevent the protruding bikes from tumbling onto the highway. In addition passports were required before I was allowed to remove the bikes from Madam Memechat's store along with a means of payment that I have never heard of "carte blu"?

I trust that what you've read so far has been informative. The following section should go a long way toward clearing up any uncertainty that may remain.

I was on the verge of leaving one of my children as a deposit when the owner of the cycle store must have had sympathy for me and decided that I could leave my driving license and a promise to pay when we had finished the rental for that week. Don't get me wrong. Noirmoutier was an excellent place to cycle but obtaining the bikes for the family including two MTB's was tantamount to a military operation. At one point the Peugeot 204 we had rented (not a SUV by the way) was receiving some very strong stares from the locals who must have though I had been stealing the cycles from local lamposts and piling them into the back of the car for onward sale to Parisian families in dire need of new bikes.

Is there a point to this story? I suppose if there is it is do the leg work from a computer before heading out on a cycling vacation. Find out where the cycle hire shop is in relation to your accommodation. Can you walk there?(the ideal situation). Do you need to drive? Do a route map if going by car and find the nearest parking and make sure you have enough cash to pay for the parking! What does the cycle shop need from you to release their bikes? When abroad I take my passport with me everywhere. My driving license is in English and not everyone can recognize its validity especially in non city destinations.

Let's be honest which would you feel safer with if you were leasing your bikes to a foreigner a driving license or a passport? At least you can understand part of a passport. Before leaving your house speak to the shop on the telephone. Inquire about shop opening times, cycle rates, conditions of hire in advance. This will give you an idea of your ability to communicate with them and how many interpreters you may need to assist the process. As a general rule when you get to the cycle shop get the conditions of hire in writing, pay by credit card or check, examine the bike before leaving the shop and most importantly make sure the bikes fit in the boot of your car!

Those who only know one or two facts about Bicycle Rental Overseas can be confused by misleading information. The best way to help those who are misled is to gently correct them with the truths you're learning here.
