UK (SANEPR.com) June 25, 2009 -Award-winning website Carrentals.co.uk has launched a new initiative to help families enjoy the summer holidays more than ever. ‘Family Active’ is a scheme which offers children free entry to attractions like Eureka! and Camelot Theme Park and the programme also offers free UK walking maps and discounts on MP3 audio city tours.
