Award-Winning Car Hire Website Carrentals.co.uk Raises Over £5K for Streetsmart
Online rentals expert announces big figure raised for UK homeless charity
/EINPresswire.com/07 APRIL 2012 - Carrentals.co.uk, the car hire website which helps travellers save money on rentals in over 15,000 locations, has hosted its latest 'Book & Donate' day and raise in excess of £5,000 for UK homeless charity StreetSmart. The charity works to generate funds for the 90 or so charities it works with around the UK in 19 different cities.
The Carrentals.co.uk Book & Donate day donation joined the £700 raised by the company in its '12 days of Christmas' campaign in 2011. The company's donation was doubled by the UK government, giving StreetSmart a total donation of £5,662 to give to its good causes.
Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: "We're delighted with the results of our latest charity drive, and we're pleased to be able to donate such a great amount to such a worthy cause as Streetsmart."
"Our users are really something and we're delighted with the efforts they have made in support of Streetsmart by booking their rental cars on Book & Donate days."
StreetSmart conducts its main fundraising drives each November and December and partners up with leading UK restaurants. In the past leading restaurants to feature have included Nobu, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, with the donation format being a pound added to every customer's bill.
Glenn Pougnet, Director of StreetSmart, commented: "It's great that companies such as Carrentals.co.uk step up in this way and we're delighted to receive their donation! They and their customers have helped to make life better for thousands of homeless people around the country."
