Nowadays, more and more people are going green. Going ecological is just one of the many trends that people are crazy about. The trend of going green makes a really big difference especially in saving this planet from total destruction, at least that is what many tourists and travellers to Spain belief according to a recent survey from the spanish Tourism Authorities.
Due to this change in the habits and demands of their customers Hispacar.com, one of Spain’s leading car rental brokers offering holiday car hire in Malaga and other popular destinations in Spain such as Alicante, Mallorca, or Tenerife has incorporated a number of electrical rental vehicles in the selection of vehicles offered by the car rental companies who are working together with the internet broker in Spain.
Electrical rent a cars are now available at mayor stations on the Canary Islands like Tenerife or Lanzarote and will be gradually introduced on the spanish mainland as well starting at the airports of Madrid and Barcelona and gradually expanding to other popular travel destinations like the Malaga on the Costa del Sol or Palma de Mallorca on the Balearic Islands. Travellers to the Costa Blanca will be able to choose ecological car hire in Alicante or Valencia airport.
At most rental companies it requieres a mayor change in the infrastructures at the rental stations in order to adapt for the introduction and maintanance of electrical rental vehicles. One of the biggest problems to adapt the existing car rental companies to ecological car hire is the lack of a range of models of electronic cars that could assure a steady fleet of these characteristics at a reasonable price.
Nevertheless in the near future the market will probably evolve as culturally the electric car is already accepted and introduced in most western european countries like Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, or the Scandinavian countries. Having hire cars with these characteristics will also grant the car rental companies a certain prestige and a differential element over their competitors on the car rental market in Spain. Over time electric rental cars will eventually replace unleaded vehicles, as long as the government invests in them as they are doing at present.
What does appear to be clear is that the mayor cities will be the first to have the battery charge facilities available for the electric cars batteries, which is one of the most problematic issues in relation to green car hire. It is for this reason that most companies operating on the spanish mainland, when they start to include electric cars, will aim at destinations such as Barcelona, Madrid, Alicante, Malaga, Valencia and Girona which will probably be the first cities to have the necessary infrastructure to make it possible, at least as far as popular tourist destinations are concerned.
Hispacar is an online car rental broker which operates in over 2.000 destinations. Hispacar compares car hire prices from mayor car rental companies, including Hertz, Europcar and National at many popular holiday destinations in France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, saving you time and money. Rental cars are offered according to the “Lowest Price” principle and can be booked online or by telephone. Since more than 8 years Hispacar guarantees holidaymakers the lowest car rental prices.

Who doesn’t like the idea of a romantic vacation in a destination full of orange leaves? As summers bid goodbye, foliage emerges and trees change dry hills into a patchwork of colors.
The variety of places narrows down to those where one can feel the autumn around. Romance quotient is the biggest reason along with a serene view. It is an entirely different season from others. It is time to cover vast areas of land varied with resplendent fall foliage and enjoy facilities like a bon-fire or spa massage.
Let us start with the famous New England and Northeast America. The Greater Portland Casco Bay is a destination worth visiting. Portland, the biggest city in Maine is famous for regional seafood, Federal style architecture and first class dining facilities. No other place in the world matches England’s fall foliage. One has to see the range of colors to believe it. The six states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Vermont serve more or less the same picturesque. Be it whale watching, pasture-gazing, farm-houses or a mountain range, these places are blessed to their zenith.
The next destination is Fiji. This South-Pacific destination will give you all the nostalgic memories which will stay with you for the rest of your life. People visit Fiji to explore the undiscovered beauty and marvelous lagoons. Fiji’s hideaways are quite popular among the visiting tourists for their diving-sites and natural wonder. Fiji has grown its tourist industry into 5-star resorts and private villas which cater to the needs of every visitor’s need.
The states of Rajasthan and Gujarat in Indian subcontinent serve maximum tourists in this season}. Some of them enjoy camping in the sugary deserts of Rajasthan. Others prefer to go on a Lion-safari in Gujarat. Places like Jaisalmer, Jodhpur boast of a rich cultural heritage. Gir wildlife sanctuary has the last lot of Asian lions. It is a amazong thing to view a lioness hunt down a deer just a few meters away.
Popular places like Florida and Western Caribbean are best avoided during this time of the year. Regular hurricanes are bound to spoil your holiday.
Australia is another beautiful tourist-destination. The Green Cauldron, the Flinders Ranges and the mighty Alps are a few hot-spots. Kakadu is a World Heritage-listed National park. The place comes alive with fantastic wildlife and Aboriginal rock art. The lively outback oasis on the Murray River is famous for its endless sunshine, stunning vineyards and ancient lunar landscapes. Sydney harbor and the Great Barrier Reef are added attractions to this area.
Spain is another popular tourist-destination in Europe. Pyrenees is famous for its skiing and thus attracts a major chunk of tourist-population. Spain has the second largest number of World-Heritage sites recognized by UNESCO. Spain is also known for its wine and green pastures. The Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean is a wodnerful place to visit.
We have seen some really different choice of destinations for this time of year. This is the reason why you should plan your travels carefully. We wish you all the best and hope you have a great time with your family this autumn.
