VW Campervan - Rust

VW Camper Van Hire

Hiring is an excellent way of getting the feel of a VW campervan, particularly the VW bay window camper, as they’re the model most often available.

You could rent one near where you live to go touring in, or as an extra comfortable way of doing festivals. If you're planning a trip to another area of the country or abroad and like the plan of your own camper van for at least part of your trip, there are hire bases in a large number of countries.

You can hire VW camper vans in Hawaii, Australia, Germany and South Africa - the internet is a key tool here.

Watch for extras such as insurance, find out what the local campsite provision is like, where to get provisions, and plan your route. Check out the rental company - are they organised and efficient? How do they maintain their vans - is very ad hoc or can they show you records? Some companies are just a couple of individuals with a camper or three (which may be fine if they look after their campervans properly); others have modern controlled inventory and tracking systems.

Honda Element's special features are for the dogs

Honda Motor Co. says its Honda Element sport utility vehicle, assembled in East Liberty, will offer dog-friendly features starting this fall.

Honda said that the vehicle will likely contain a cushioned pet bed in the cargo area with an elevated platform; pet restraint systems; a rear ventilation fan; and a spill-resistant water bowl.

• To create a system that will provide payments only for eligible transactions under the CARS program.
• Under the law, NHTSA will make electronic funds transfers only to a registered dealer that has submitted the required proof of a completely eligible transaction.
• We will develop a registration system to identify licensed, franchised new vehicle dealers and to obtain the banking and tax identification information necessary for making secure electronic transfers. Only registered dealers will have access to the payment system.

• As noted above, at the time of the transaction at the dealer, the consumer who is trading in the “trade-in vehicle” will need to provide evidence of ownership of the vehicle and proof that the vehicle has been continuously registered and insured to the same person throughout the last 12 months.
• To prevent repeated use of the program by the same person, we anticipate that the consumer will need to provide evidence of identity, such as a driver’s license, and permit that information to become part of the documentation of the transaction.

• The dealer will have every reason to avoid entering into a transaction for which the dealer cannot be reimbursed under this program.
• The dealer will be expected to verify that the vehicle being traded in and the vehicle being purchased or leased are both eligible under the program.
• This will entail, with regard to the trade-in, making sure that the registration and insurance information is accurate and that the vehicle is in drivable condition.
• For both vehicles, the dealer will need to verify their combined fuel economy.

How to Drive Clean

The concept of driving a clean technology vehicle to some people may sound a bit "granola" at first. But with the technological of our advancements and substantial market interest in recent years, auto manufacturers are offering a very large variety of clean technology vehicle makes and models that provide the same power, style, luxury and features as traditional gasoline vehicles Not only can car buyers easily find a vehicle model that suits their lifestyle, but clean technology vehicles often offer more – better warranties, greater efficiency, and can help solve the serious air pollution, global warming, and energy security problems facing California.

Why Drive Clean:

Californians drive 825 million miles every day – producing 5.4 million tons of smog forming pollutants daily. Since more than 50% of California's total smog pollution and 60% greenhouse gas pollution comes from motor vehicles - your car is a good place to start cleaning things up.

If that’s not bad enough, more than 95% of Californians live in areas that fail to meet federal or state air quality standards - a rapidly increasing health hazard to you, your children, their children, and so on. Also, impacts of global warming are already being felt in California.

Sure, all new cars are cleaner than they used to be, but there are a lot more of them on the road today driving more miles than ever. So our pollution of problem continues to worsen. It's simple – we have to drive less or we have to drive cleaner if we want to solve our pollution problem.
