			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Surprise your spouse or partner with a really nice,<strong> romantic weekend</strong>. Fly off to the romantic mekka of <a title="car hire Paris" href="http://www.autoeurope.ie/go/car-hire/france/paris/">Paris</a> or find your own favorite spot<br />
in <a title="car hire Rome" href="http://www.autoeurope.ie/go/car-hire/italy/rome/">Rome</a>. If you don&#8217;t wish to travel that long a mini-weekend in London is always appreciated. Shop &#8217;til you drop or enjoy a classic afternoon-tea<br />
in the buzzy UK capital. With <a title="car hire UK" href="http://www.autoeurope.ie/go/car-hire/uk/">car hire in the UK</a> you can make a trip out in the countryside and visit a relaxing wellness spa or a quint little village.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.autoeurope.ie"><img class="aligncenter" title="Valentine's Day car hire trip" src="http://www.globalmediaserver.com/images/blog/valentinstag_de.jpg" alt="valentinstag de Romantic weekend for Valentines" width="356" height="212" /></a></p>
<p>Here are some really great inspiration for surprising your loved one:</p>
<p>-On Valentine&#8217;s Day, give your partner the traditional rose bouquet and a card. On the weekend after give the impression that you are going to visit some<br />
friends or relatives. At the airport you will reveal the truth that you are going on a totally different trip.</p>
<p>-Meet up with your partner at his/her work. Prepare yourself by packing all suitcases, passports and all other important things and bring them with you. Also talk with your partners boss before to ensure that it is ok to take a day or two off. Don&#8217;t let your partner in on your secret. Once the working day is done<br />
it is time for the big surprise. Since everything is ready you can go directly to the airport!</p>
<p><strong><em>Auto Europe hopes that all of you will have a really nice Valentine&#8217;s Day!</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sad sight of deserted dogs along the motorways touch us all. We dog lovers must sometimes leave our dogs with friends and family or at a boarding kennel during vacation trips. But it mustn&#8217;t be so.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.autoeurope.ie"><img class="aligncenter" title="Dogs car hire" src="http://www.globalmediaserver.com/images/blog/hund_im_kofferraum.jpg" alt="hund im kofferraum Bring Alfie in your Alfa" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>If you travel by <a title="rental car" href="http://www.autoeurope.ie">rental car</a> you can in many cases bring your pet along. Many hotels also welcomes dogs. Be aware though that certain rules apply. If you want to <strong>travel in a rental car with your dog</strong> you should know that you are solely responsible for any interior damages that your pet might cause. Always let your dog travel safe, either in a special safety belt (harness) or in a transport box. Our car rental suppliers do not offer any boxes so remember to bring your own. <strong>Always make sure your dog travels safely</strong>. That means your dog should not be free to move about in the car and loose items should always be secured and stored in the boot to avoid unneccessary injury in case of an accident.</p>
<p>Never leave your dog in the rental car during hot weather. The temperature can quickly reach over 60 &#8211; 70 Celsius and can be hazardous for your dog. Also bring enough water to drink during the journey.</p>
<p>Dogs have the bad habit of leaving hair behind and never wiping their paws after being out. Therefore we recommend you to bring a dog blanket along to avoid dirt on the car seat. Before drop off please be sure to remove any traces from your dog, otherwise the car renter might charge you for extra cleaning.</p>
<p>If you wish to bring your dog in a rental car please let us know at booking and we will make sure our suppliers are prepared for it.</p>
<p><strong>Bringing your dog along on your vacation or leaving it at a caring boarding kennel &#8211; one thing is for certain: it is a way better option than the motorway!</strong></p>

<p>The 2012 UEFA European Football Championship is getting closer. If you just love football and want to<br />
be sure not to miss out on anything &#8211; <strong>book a car hire already now</strong>! The rental cars sell out very fast during this period. The rates are getting more expensive closer to the pick up date &#8211; unlike when you book a trip.<br />
So be sure to get the right <a title="rental car" href="http://www.autoeurope.ie">rental car</a> at the right rate.</p>
<p>Be there for the final in July. Watch the Irish players on the 10th of June when they meet <a title="car rental Croatia" href="http://www.autoeurope.ie/go/car-hire/Croatia/">Croatia</a> in Poznan or watch the game on the 14th of June when Ireland meets <a title="Car hire Spain" href="http://www.autoeurope.ie/go/car-hire/Spain/">Spain</a> in Gdansk. Or be there to cheer for the thriller game between Ireland and <a title="Car rental Italy" href="www.autoeurope.ie/go/car-hire/Italy/">Italy</a> on the 18th of June in Poznan.</p>
<p><a title="Car hire Poland" href="www.autoeurope.ie/go/car-hire/Poland/">Poland</a> has more to offer than exiting football games. Explore this beautiful country by using a rental car.<br />
If you want to see some football games alsio in <a title="Car hire Ukraine" href="http://www.autoeurope.ie/go/car-hire/Ukraine/">Ukraine</a> you can enjoy an almost tropical climate in the south and visit the island of Crimea in the Black Sea. This area is often called the Crimean Riviera.</p>
