Xsara in Europe 22nd February 1999

EXPLORE EUROPE FROM $26 A DAY WITH CITROEN

Citroen Australia and European holiday specialists, SpreeCarz, have combined to make it possible to explore Europe in a brand new Citroen Xsara from as little as $26 a day, an unbeatable price for a spacious, economic and stylish way to see Europe.

"There could be no better way to explore Europe than in a Citroen Xsara," says Miles Williams, General Manager for Citroen in Australia.
"The Xsara has plenty of space inside for up to five people and, thanks to the notchback shape at the rear, an unusually large boot. With fuel costs up to four times what they are here in Australia, fuel economy is essential, so there is a choice of economical petrol and refined, but miserly, diesels to choose from in European specification Xsaras.
"All the Xsaras included in the programme are fitted with central locking, digital stereo radio cassettes and, as even in Europe it can get hot, many have air conditioning."

Citroen Australia and SpreeCarz are able to make this remarkable offer thanks to assistance from the French Government, which waives all taxes and duties on cars registered for visiting foreigners, and Citroen's visitor department, which negotiates special prices for tourists. This has the added advantage that the car is registered in the name of the visitor, not a rental company, and carries no identifying marks that single it out as a rental car.

The rental periods range from 23 to 175 days and include unlimited mileage, full factory warranty, comprehensive vehicle and contents insurance, 24 hour road side assistance and the support of the 15,000 Citroen dealers across Europe. The cars may be collected and dropped off at 16 different places in France for no fee and, for a small extra charge, at selected European capital cities.

Citroen Australia and SpreeCarz have also arranged special accommodation rates at one of Europe's largest hotel chains, the Ibis network, with room rates starting from just $55 a night per person.

"There is no better way to explore Europe than a freewheeling, go as you please holiday, where you can explore the back roads and live like a local in your own Citroen," says Miles Williams. "And at these rates, car and accommodation is hardly any more than it would cost to travel around Australia. It's an unbeatable offer!"
