holiday autos is launching a new ‘ Golf Wheels' car rental package for groups of golfers touring courses in the UK and overseas. Hire of an estate car or a four-wheel drive is priced from just £28 per day* based on a three-day rental in Malaga in November.

The pre-paid package is offered in ten of the world's most popular golfing destinations including the UK , Spain , Florida , and South Africa . Weekly or one-day rates are also available. All rentals are inclusive of unlimited mileage, insurance, waivers and taxes.

Pick-ups can be arranged at any major airport or downtown location.

Holiday Autos marketing manager Matthew Cunliffe said: “ Golf tours are hugely popular, particularly for stag do's and golf society holidays, and players inevitably need a decent-sized set of wheels to transport themselves and their equipment.

“Hiring a car is essential if you're flying into a destination, but can also be an attractive option here at home when squeezing into one car – or taking two – is the only alternative. Splitting the cost up to four-ways makes it extremely cost-effective.”

 

Golf Wheels destinations and rates: per day three day
UK Vauxhall Astra Estate £60 £180
Tenerife Renault Scenic Estate £51 £153
Faro Vauxhall Astra Estate £42 £126
Spain Ford Focus Estate £28 £84
France Citroen Xsara Estate £46 £138
Irelend Vauxhall Astra Estate £46 £138
South Africa Toyota Condor 4x4 £52 £156
Florida Chrysler PT Cruiser Estate £46 £138
California Chevrolet Blazer 4x4 £50 £150


All fully inclusive, for pick-ups in November. Per day prices based on three-day rental charges. Makes & models shown may vary.
