If you are planning a trip or vacation that you are leaving the country, you need to decide how you plan on getting around over at your destination because if you plan ahead, you might be able to save a lot of money while you are traveling at this great location that you and your family have picked out. You have to decide if you are going to be doing a lot of traveling or if you are just going to mainly stay in your room. Depending on what you decide, you might not want to rent a car because if you plan on staying around the town, you will not need a car unless you like the night life and don’t want to rely on public transportation.

Deciding on a rental car is a great thing but why pay full price on a rental car when you can get it for less. That is what more people do, they get a rental car without knowing that you can get a deal if you look for coupons and try to get discounts online before you even leave to go on this vacation. Getting these deals can save you a great deal of money when you are getting a rental car.

When you are looking for deals on rental cars you need to take one thing into consideration because this will determine the amount of money you could be saving. This thing is the time of the week you decide to go on vacation.

One of the best parts about flying into Luton is how quickly you can get to London. After renting a car from any one of Luton’s car rental agencies, such as Avis or Budget, you can get from Luton to London in less than an hour, depending on traffic. While Luton has a more quiet regional feel to it, London is a world class destination by any standard.

Going to London opens up many different opportunities for travelers, no matter what their interest. Love food? London has some of the world’s leading chefs, including Britain’s own superstar-chef Gordon Ramsey. Love football? London’s your spot – home to several leading soccer teams, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Westham united, London is truly a soccer fan’s best friend. And let’s not forget about London’s long colored history and tradition.

Since you’ve already got a rental car, why not visit all the popular sites? You can go to Buckingham Palace, home of the queen herself. Who knows, maybe you’ll see one of her many, many Pembroke Welsh corgis. Big Ben is also nearby, should clocktowers be your forte. Finally, if you’re got a bit of courage in you, there’s always the London Eye.

Standing at almost 450 feet tall, the London Eye is one of the most popular tourist attractions in all of Britain; it’s also the largest ferris wheel in all of Europe! The ferris wheel has 32 air conditioned and is in constant motion. The wheel moves slow enough that one complete revolution takes 30 minutes, so passengers are free to board and disembark as they choose. The ferris wheel is truly one of a kind, and offers tourists a great view over London.

As you can see, you are not limited to just Luton when you fly into Luton International Airport. As long as you have a rental car, anything is possible.

If you are traveling to Luton with children, you should plan for some off touring days to accommodate the kids. There are only so many museums and so much driving the country side a child can tolerate even if you have rented the most comfortable mini van available with a DVD player in order to prevent the kids from fighting. A great spot to take the children is Woodside Animal Farm and Leisure Park which offers both a zoo-like farm for animal lovers and an amusement park for action seekers.

The Woodside Animal Farm and Leisure Park is best suited for younger children. Though they do have special activity for older children as well if they like getting close up to different types of animals.

It is best to check the forecast before you go and try to choose a day where it doesn’t look like it will rain since the animal farm is outside without any cover. For children who don’t care for hanging out with monkeys, there are various amusement park rides suitable for different aged children.

For a unique experience, you can sign up your children for the Woodside Animal Farm keeper for a day program. This is great for small or older children who love animals. The children get to go right inside the cages and feed the raccoons, lemurs, monkey and other animals. The children get to pet the animals and learn about their care. It’s both an enjoyable and educational experience for them and will keep your children busy for several hours.
