Enterprise offers 50% off weekend rentals
For obvious reasons, most of my posts relate to weekend happenings,and it appears they dovetail nicely with what Bobby Jones at Enterprise Rent-A-Car calls "travel bursts.'' Apparently the term refers to a three- or four- day extended weekend, and in a recent rental-car industry poll, these "bursts'' of travel are what more people are doing this year, instead of taking the longer trips of past years. The same poll also notes 37 percent of travelers staying closer to home, usually within 500 miles.
And hey, what good is research if you can't benefit from it? Useless really. So smarty-pants Enterprise Rent-a-Car has taken the information and run with it, by giving travelers an incentive - a 50 percent off weekend rentals incentive - for travel Friday through Monday, now through May 20. Book your "burst" today!
