I fly a lot and am considered a heavyweight among people who claim to know corporate travel. I have flown so much that I have received Christmas gifts from the major airlines. One time when I was taking a couple of months off and trying to stay home more I actually received calls from the airlines asking where I was and if everything was alright. That is too much. That is too much because of the wear and tear it places on your body and family life but also because of the dent it places in your wallet. I have found a method of correcting those issues, at least the expense part anyway.

The “Flavian Amphitheater”, also known as the Colosseum, is capable of seating 55,000 spectators. Deadly gladiatorial and wild animals fights were staged for free by the emperor and wealthy citizens for the masses.

Commissioned by the Emperor Vespasian between 70 and 72 AD, it was completed in 80 AD by his son Domitian. It was built on a marshy site of a lake near Nero’s enormous palace, there was a very tall statue (a colossus) of Nero nearby, from which legend says the Colosseum’s name was originated from. Later it was destroyed in the great fire of Rome.

The Colosseum was designed in such a clever way that it has been said that most today’s stadiums have been inspired by the concepts introduced in the Colosseum’s building structure. In less than finve minutes it could have been evacuated.

If you’re looking for a rental car then you know that rental rates can be expensive and a large part of your vacation budget. You don’t have to settle for a high rate. If you know where to look then you can find specials and discounts to save you money. Any money you save will be worth your efforts especially if you’re on a tight budget. Here are some ways to find the best rates and car rental specials.

Researching Rates

First off, it’s important to take time to research rates of various car rental companies. While most rental agencies competitively price their cars, due to changes in demand and availability there is sometimes a large difference in car rates between companies. The internet is the best tool for price comparing. There are travel websites (Travelocity, Orbitz, etc.) that will show you the available rates and car models for the time you wish to rent. You are also able to book your hotel and airline tickets as well. These websites usually charge a nominal fee for booking but the one-stop shopping convenience can be worth the small cost.
