FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 7, 2011 --6 DECEMBER 2011 – With Christmas Day fast approaching, leading car hire comparator Carrentals.co.uk has announced the introduction of a new prize draw and competition – the 12 Days of Christmas. The new competition, in which Carrentals.co.uk will partner with homeless charity StreetSmart, will deliver a prize every day to competition entrants.

Among the prizes available to win in the new competition are an iPad 2, Amazon vouchers, London Eye tickets, a vineyard tour and tasting and more. The prize draw starts on December 12th and there is a prize each day to be won until the draw for the Apple iPad 2 takes place on December 24th.

As part of the new 12 Days of Christmas promotion Carrentals.co.uk will work with StreetSmart, one of the UK’s leading homeless charities, to raise money. StreetSmart works with over 90 smaller UK homeless charities in 19 cities and has helped to raise over £4.7million for worthy causes. The money feeds down to fund education and training schemes, give housing support and offer help on health issues as well.

To enter the 12 Days of Christmas competition consumers need to log on to the Carrrentals.co.uk website each day and find the hidden snowman. Once the snowman is located using the daily clues, the respective web page address acts as that day’s competition entrance code.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “We’re delighted to be offering such great prizes as iPad 2, London Eye tickets and more in our new 12 Days of Christmas prize draw. In addition we’re really pleased to be working alongside StreetSmart to raise money for some really worthy causes this Christmas.”
