Driving in the UK this weekend? Prepare for tailbacks!  Up to 10 million drivers are set to take to the roads over the busy Easter period, with Thursday expected to be the worst day for traffic and the busiest day for airports.

A predicted two million people will spend Easter abroad this year.  Argus has already noticed a surge in bookings and most of our popular destinations have already sold out.

There is some light at the end of the tunnel though if you are staying put this Easter.  Weather forecasters are expecting highs of 19C in some parts of southern England this weekend.

If that news isn’t enough to turn your frown upside down, maybe our latest Portugal car hire deals will do the trick.  For one week only, we’re offering 10% off all pick-ups in Portugal.

See the sights of the city, relax on the beaches of the Algarve or tee off on the greens of Estoril, with summer car rentals starting from as little as £15 per day!

Please note: This offer is valid for bookings from 11/04/09-18/04/09 for pick up by June 30th 2009 and excludes peak holiday times e.g Easter.
