Strengthening Dollar Means Bigger Savings for Travelers
PORTLAND, Maine, May 5 Auto Europe is reducing their car
rental rates by 5% due to the strength of the US dollar in comparison with
foreign currency. For example, as of May 4th, the German Deutsche Mark listed
at 2.2 and the Italian Lira listed at 2,160 against the US Dollar. This means
that US travelers will receive more value for their dollar.
