Lets-Travel-Rome.com and Auto Europe Launch New Season's Car Rental Service.
Now Travelers Can Easily Find The Best Rome Car Rental Deals From A Wide Choice Of Locations.
Lets-Travel-Rome.com, through partners Auto Europe, the leading Rome car rental provider, recently announced the addition of an advanced service with maximum flexibility for users, including one of the widest choice of vehicles in the city, and the most convenient range of collection points of any provider.
Auto Europe, a leader in European car rental for over 50 years, are also offering early booker discounts and free one-car upgrades as part of their package for visitors to Rome.
And Les Sheppard, CEO of Lets-Travel-Rome.com, who provide direct links to the new booking tool from their own web site, is convinced the ease of use is driving higher visitor satisfaction levels with his own subscribers.
"We get a lot of feedback from visitors to our site", said Les, "who have ultimately booked their car rental through Auto Europe, and they tell us they highly rate this new facility. Booking arrangements are made really easy online, and you can also pick the exact location you want to collect your vehicle, almost anywhere in Rome. This includes both main airports and the city center rail Termini, as well as more than 10 well located offices around town."
"Flight and accommodation packages can also be booked through the online service, a factor readily taken up by our business travelers, in particular", said Les.
The rental fleet includes mini, compact, mid-sized, full sized, premium, luxury and minibus vehicles, offering a transport solution for any purpose, regardless of party size. Prestige and sports cars can also be arranged, along with chauffeur and limousine services on request.
Drivers receive excellent advice, through detailed knowledge of Rome and the motoring legislation in Italy.
Les Sheppard added "Rome is attracting more and more repeat visitors, and these are the people who are looking to break out of the city, having seen some of the tourist attractions before. The Autostrade routes allow easy access to sites such as Pompei and Sorrento, and travelers are readily taking up the opportunity to see and do more".

Don't Settle for an Ordinary Rome Vacation -- Go for Extraordinary!
You work hard all year long, and look forward to your holiday, and I really can recommend a Rome vacation. So why settle for ordinary, when you could do something different this year and create memories that really will last a lifetime?
Today there are so many more choices than just taking a regular trip or guided tour. If you're willing to think outside the box, and put a little effort into planning it, your Rome vacation can be extraordinary.
First of all, think about your interests or passions. Is there something that you've always wanted to do like learn to paint, or speak a foreign language?
What about some place that you've always wanted to visit like The Coloseum, St Peters or The Opera House?
What do you love to do in your spare time…visit art galleries, read or go to a soccer match?
If you've always wanted to be a painter, why not choose Rome? But instead of staying in a hotel, and making the rounds of the usual tourist attractions, check into renting a flat or participating in a housing exchange program. (You can find several options through our links to Venere.com on the website.) On the money you'll save on the hotel and restaurants, sign up for art classes at one of the cultural centers near where you'll be staying. And instead of signing up for a guided tour, visit the tourist attractions with your paints and easel. Live the life of an artist in Rome for two weeks!
If you are fanatical about soccer, it's easier than you think to travel to Rome, and see a classic soccer match, with the fans of Roma or Lazio at your side. Wouldn't it be amazing to tell your friends that you were there, in the Stadio Olimpico, when the winning goal was scored!
Whether you are coming to Rome on vacation or business, you simply have to experience the thrill of a football match! Rome soccer tour packages give you tickets to AS Roma or SS Lazio home games, hotel accommodation and breakfast daily. But don't delay, tickets sell out quickly because both teams attract fanatical support.
What about learning to speak Italian? (Your local community college probably offers "immersion" vacations as a member of a language class. During your Rome vacation, you stay as a guest in someone's home, and have the opportunity to live like a native. You'll become totally immersed in the city, having the chance to speak the language with your hosts, learn the best places to visit, and get to eat home cooked meals.)
If you have an idea for the "perfect" vacation, or there's something you've always wanted to do, but don't know where to start to make it happen, check out our online links to a variety of travel agents. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by what they can help you arrange.
Whatever your interests, hobbies or passions, if you've got unfinished items on your "things to do before I die" list -- why not figure out a way to start putting a checkmark in front of some of them, by incorporating your dreams into your next Rome vacation?
Best wishes for a great trip,
Les Sheppard

Are You Soccer Mad?.. Soccer Crazy?.. Then try these Rome Soccer Tours.
If you are fanatical about soccer, as you read through this article you're going to learn that it's easier than you think to travel to Rome, and see a classic soccer match, with the fans of Roma or Lazio at your side. Wouldn't it be amazing to tell your friends that you were there, in the Stadio Olimpico, when the winning goal was scored!
Whether you are coming to Rome on vacation or business, you simply have to experience the thrill of a football match! Rome soccer tour packages give you tickets to AS Roma or SS Lazio home games, hotel accommodation and breakfast daily. But don't delay, tickets sell out quickly because both teams attract fanatical support.
The Stadio Olimpico is home to both Roma and Lazio and was built for the 1960 Olympic games. An impressive 82,000 plus venue it has housed European Cup Finals and the 1990 World Cup Final. It is also the first choice home of the Italian national team, and a great venue for these Rome soccer tours.
And you can be reassured... it's easy to get there. Rome’s principal airport, Fiumicino, lies 30kms south of the city and connects to Rome’s major train station, Termini by regular hourly trains. The second airport, Ciampino, lies 15km south east of the city and is connected to the centre by bus to Anagnina metro station, where a direct train and then a tram will quickly get you to the stadium.
You can even save time and money and book your airport transfer services before you go! You can use a shuttle service that will take you from Rome's Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport to your Rome Hotel, without the hassle of picking up a rental car, negotiating unfamiliar traffic and maps.
The history of both Roman Football Clubs is equally littered with glory and frustration.
AS Roma were born in 1927 from the fusion of three different clubs - Alba, Fortitudo and Roman. A fine record in the 1930s eventually led to the first Giallorossi Scudetto in 1942.
Difficult years followed until their one and only relegation in 1951. With an immediate return to the top flight, Roma quickly captured a third place and the 1961 UEFA Cup. The Coppa Italia came in 1964, the first of seven in this competition.
Roma’s most glorious years were the 1980s as aside from the two Italian Cups, the club’s second Scudetto was lifted by Coach Nils Liedholm in 1983. The following year only a penalty shoot-out against Liverpool at the Stadio Olimpico kept them from winning the European Cup.
Fabio Capello’s Roma led the 2000-01 Serie A table from start to finish for their third Scudetto and the club’s first medal in a decade.
Rivals Lazio were founded in 1900 as Societa Spotiva Lazio, a multi-purpose sports club. The Biancocelesti began football full-time in 1906. Winning one wartime Roman title in 1944, the club lifted their first national trophy - a Coppa Italia - in 1958 but were relegated three seasons later.
Several trips up and down the Divisions preceded Lazio’s first Scudetto in 1973-74 when they were led by the legendary Giorgio Chinaglia. But within five years came the club’s darkest hour as Lazio was relegated for financial irregularities and only a play-off prevented the club from slipping into Serie C in 1987.
Sergio Cragnotti took over the club in 1992 and with his financial backing Lazio have become a force both in Italy and Europe. Since 1997 the Biancocelesti have won their second Scudetto, a Cup-Winners’ Cup, an Italian and European Super Cup and two Italian Cups. However, only massive sales and a restructuring of contracts allowed the club to avoid bankruptcy.
Both clubs continue to ride close to the top of Italy's Serie A, and the rivalry is intense, especially during the annual "derby" matches where the teams and tifosi face each other. So, if your passion is football, then don't miss the opportunity to see your favorite Roman team play a home game this season, and be there with The Ultras!
Why book ahead?.. Well, here are my thoughts: * The most popular matches can sell out well in advance. Don't risk being disappointed!
* Reduce stress! Don't waste time haggling with the hotel concierge for matchday tickets.
* Lock in your price! Currency dips & price hikes won't effect you.
* Save vacation time! Plan & book now, not when you're there.
* Balance your vacation budget! Charge tours on this month's credit card bill.
Believe me (and I've been in Rome during a major soccer tournament!) there's nothing like the atmosphere of a match day, and the city buzzes with excitment. So, try one of these great value Rome soccer tours. Take the easy way - and book this efficient service online now and save time in Rome. You could have your match tickets secured in the next fifteen minutes!
