Romancing Romeos this Valentine’s Day

What can I get Romeo for Valentine's Day?
Budding Juliets planning to take advantage of the leap year and looking for that last minute extra special Valentine’s gift might decide to contact Europcar, to sweep the man of their dreams off their feet!

Why not, for example, propose in a Porsche or show him you’re a foxy fan in a fun MINI Cooper S Convertible. Either one would surely make this Valentine’s Day one to stand out of the crowd.

“Flowers, champagne and a candle-lit dinner are, of course, all very nice. But to really get hearts racing we think hiring a Prestige [car] from Europcar could be the icing on the cake this Valentine’s Day.” said Ken McCall, Managing Director, Europcar UK Group.

And with prices starting at just £84 a day, we’re inclined to agree when you’re out to treat your loved one like a celebrity. Hint, hint…

The Prestige from Europcar range includes 4x4s, luxury saloons and performance cars. There’s a network of over 40 UK locations and if you hire for more than 2 days they’ll include delivery and collection, even to a secret address providing it’s within 15 miles of a Europcar station.

Needless to say, model availability is on a ‘first come first served’ basis.

Collison’s garage Portsmouth hires Can-Am bike to women

As you might expect from a female friendly garage that has signed the FOXY Promise to never knowingly overcharge, patronise or sell women services they do not need or want, Collison’s garage at Waterlooville, Portsmouth almost bends over backwards to make local women drivers feel at home, recognising that many females dread going to a garage in an industry with a poor reputation for customer service.

In fact Collison Motor Services won the prestigious Motor Trader’s Award in 2006 for Excellence in Customer Care and they continue to do the sort of things that make women feel at home, like employing women for starters, welcoming Mums with children, providing internet access and saving local women time with their convenient car collection and courtesy car services.

One new service with a difference that we’ve just spotted – have a look at their website and the Can-Am bike for hire. Wouldn’t that make a terrific Xmas gift with a difference for the man in your life? And you could be reassured knowing that it was from a local female friendly garage… which is also listed at new website www.femalefriendlyapproved.com.

I never fail to be impressed with the entrepreneurial ideas that our FOXY Choice subscribers come up with.
