What is New

Has Hawaii ever been a dream destination for you? It is for many. Hawaii is one of the most desired vacation spots in not just the United States, but the world. Each year, millions enjoy the white sand shores, unique visitor activities and the gorgeous scenery of the islands. While many people do not realize their dream of going to Hawaii due to the cost, Hawaii rentals can help make your dream a reality because they offer a less expensive alternative to hotels.

Due to Hawaii being such a desired vacation destination, a Hawaii hotel reservation is normally booked months ahead, and in the most popular winter months reservations can be a year in advance. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to reserve rooms — especially if they are oceanfront or oceanview. Fortunately, you don’t have to stay in a hotel. The selection of Hawaii vacation home rentals is very diverse.

You can find many different types of Hawaii rentals, including condominiums, town houses, apartments, and even full size houses. Generally, your rental agent will indicate which type of rental facility you should consider. Full size houses tend to be more expensive, but as anywhere, prices will vary.

Choosing a vacation in Hawaii involves a number of exciting choices. Although tourists can’t visit every island in the archipelago, an Oahu, Maui, Molokai, Kauai or Big Island vacation home is a widely popular alternative to staying at a crowded hotel.

There are numerous advantages to choosing a rental property as opposed to a hotel. Rental properties frequently have more amenities such as full kitchens, fenced backyards offering private sunbathing, enclosed parking, large screen TVs and DVD players. These are amenities you generally will not find in a standard hotel. For a complete listing of amenities available with each vacation rental property, visit our website.

After a recent visit to Worcester by Train, one of our regular customers contacted us to ask about child car seats and where we stand as Taxi Drivers and the new UK child seat laws and restrictions. Ms Jones and her young daughter were sent away from a Worcester Taxi Rank for not having the correct baby car seat with her.

The Cheltenham Taxi website is of the view that the Worcester Taxi driver involved was properly a bit keen when it comes to road safety, or may not have been aware of the exemptions for Children who travel via Taxi. It can be a hard shout for Taxi drivers, as they are legally responsible for ensuring children under 14 are belted up correctly whilst travelling in their Taxi.

Children are exempt from the child car seats laws whilst travelling in a taxi, as long as a certain criteria is met:

Children under 3 may sit on an adults lap in the rear of a Taxi, as long as the adult is wearing a seatbelt –the seatbelt must only be around the adult and not the baby.

Children 3 years and over may sit in the rear of a taxi using just the seatbelt, if the correct baby car seat or booster seat for the child’s age and weight is not available.

No child under the age of 13 and less than 135cm in height may travel in the front seat of a taxi.

If you are planning a Taxi journey for an advanced date, there maybe sufficient time to arrange for the correct child car seats to be available.

It would be un-reasonable to expect a Taxi to carry 8-10 different baby, child and booster seats with them, just as it would be un-reasonable for a family using public transport to carry baby car seats with them whist travelling.

An advanced booking for our Cheltenham Taxi Service would allow you to take your own baby car seats with you and we would stow then for you until needed again for the return journey.
