FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 26, 2009 -- New road awareness promotions to make sure that everyone who uses the roads - parents and kids – stay safe this winter have been launched by vehicle hire comparator Carrentals.co.uk.

With the shorter, colder days ahead, the company’s new Road Sense campaign is designed to offer advice, support and resources to families concerned about safety as road visibility steadily becomes reduced.

Offers on www.carrentals.co.uk include 10% off all stock of high visibility accessories and other clothing for the kids from BrightKidz - with the discount available across its entire stock including jackets and fleeces, to hats and umbrellas, all designed to be fun and help kids be seen.

Gareth Robinson, managing director of www.Carrentals.co.uk, says: “Winter can be a very dangerous time on the roads – for drivers and pedestrians. Particularly with the dark nights, children can be vulnerable and the aim of Road Sense is to help parents keep their families safe.

“The Road Sense website features a growing range of offers, all of which are easily accessible online, together with a range of advice and information to help improve awareness of road safety.”
