Carrentals.co.uk Hosts 2nd 'Book & Donate' Day for StreetSmart on January 25th
Leading homeless charity to benefit from £1 per rental booking donation from leading website
/EINPresswire.com/ 20 JANUARY 2012 - A second 'Book & Donate' day - where car hire comparison website Carrentals.co.uk donates money to leading UK homeless charity StreetSmart - will be held on January 25th. The event is hosted by leading online car hire comparison specialist Carrentals.co.uk.
The first Carrentals.co.uk 'Book & Donate' day was held on January 11th and raised over £330 for StreetSmart's vital projects. The donations contribute to projects which deliver education, training, housing and health programs to UK homeless and StreetSmart enjoys celebrity endorsement from the likes of Stephen Fry, Neil Morrissey and Richard Bacon.
Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, comments: "We felt that the logical move was to hold another 'Book & Donate' day after the first one went so well. We were delighted to raise over £330 towards the truly excellent work that StreetSmart does."
"As such we're asking our site users and UK travellers who may want to rent a car any time soon to book on one of our 'Book & Donate' days," Gareth goes on. "That way they can help the country's homeless out while also getting great value rental deals - which are of course best secured by booking plenty of time in advance."
Carrentals.co.uk 'Book & Donate' days will also be hosted on February 8th and 22nd, and March 7th and 21st.
StreetSmart runs charity drives every November and December and works in partnership with leading UK restaurants including Nobu, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. Each restaurant adds one pound to bill totals to generate additional funds for StreetSmart's great work.
Glenn Pougnet, director of StreetSmart, says: "It was great news to hear that Carrentals.co.uk has decided to make their Book & Donate days a more regular occurrence. We look forward to receiving money again which can contribute towards the projects we run in support of the country's homeless."
Carrentals.co.uk is the UK's leading car rental comparison site, comparing deals from up to 50 rental companies including Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt, in over 15,000 locations worldwide.
