The travel hack that could cost as little as £5.50 per person this half term

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Travelling by train has become almost prohibitively expensive for many families, especially during the school holidays. One incredulous commuter took to X (formerly Twitter) last week to express his disgust when he discovered it would cost him nearly £800 to travel from Newcastle to London and back.

An expensive start to any staycation, holidaymakers could save hundreds of pounds by considering one cost-effective alternative to taking the train.

Once considered a complicated and pricey way of getting around, car hire is now easier and cheaper than ever before. For anyone looking to escape the city this summer, Enterprise-Rent-A-Car's new deals work out considerably cheaper than the train as well as more convenient.

To help get your staycation off to a great start, hiring a compact SUV that can seat five passengers costs £111.66 for four days - that's just £5.50 per person.
