Rare Biz Tip (Thinking BIGGER saves you money...)

Little story I thought Id share.

I live about 250 miles from London, and recently I paid to fly a friend over from the states. I only have a 2 seater sports car, with minimal luggage space, so I looked at hiring a 'semi nice' car for the day.

I intended to drive to the dealership (20 Miles) park my car, hire their car, pay for gas, drive to the airport, park, wait for the flight, drive 250 miles back home, then drive agin to pick up my own car, and repeat the process when they left...

I added up the cost of the car, the gas, the parking and my time, and t was a silly amount... So... I thought BIG !

I decided to use an airport transfer service instead. Meaning that THEY drove up in a BMW, THEY Parked, THEY met my guest with a peaked cap and uniform on, holding a sign, and THEY carried the suitcase, and THEY drove her to my door...

Likewise, when she went back, THEY did the same....

So not only did it create a much more professional image for my guest, it saved me my own time as well...

THE COST? Less than a 10th of car rental and doing it myself !

Moral of the story? THINK BIG AND SAVE BIG...
