The flights are usually with British Airways out of Newcastle to London Heathrow then make our connection to North America from there, sometimes we feel we are getting a better deal with KLM and then we will choose to fly out of Newcastle to Amsterdam Schipol then make our connection to North America from there.

Arriving stateside we make our way to our pre-booked car from Dollar Rent A Car this is sometime quick or slow depends on how many flights are in before you. Whenever you pick your hire car up spend time to go through the contract with the agent to be sure you know what you are and what you are not paying for, and if you are picking it up in one State and dropping it if in another State this can drain the blood from you when you realize how much the drop of charge is, and always make sure you have plenty of Insurance cover, just in case you have a little "Fender Bender" to say the least.

If you fancy yourself as an Easy Rider and want to tour USA/Canada on a Harley Davidson, why not hire yourself one from Eagle Rider they have outlets all over the United States,with what must be the best selection of Harley's you can imagine. My two friends Mick and Steve did just that, only for one day but it was a dream came true for them.

On picking up our accommodation along the way we have found that by picking up brochures at Car Hire pick up point, selected Restaurants and Tourist info points along the way, you can get big discounts on a lot of Hotel/Motel chains and little independents ( but make sure you read the small print for terms ) but all in all they are usually very good; but now if you have an idea where you are going before you go you can pick up your discount coupons on line here at any of these seven links.
