The World Cup is just around the corner and as with every year that means hundreds of thousands of travellers around the world looking for travel advice. Carrentals.co.uk is providing all the advice needed for those looking to travel to, from and around South Africa.

Cheering on the national football team in the world’s biggest sporting event is hugely popular and with June nearly here; car hire giants, Carrentals.co.uk, are encouraging Britons to be prepared for their trip.

Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, Gareth Robinson says: “The excitement to the World Cup is beginning to build up and for those lucky enough to be travelling to see a game it is important that they are as prepared as they can be when they arrive. We have collated some great tips and hints to help South Africa World Cup travellers to ensure their trip is a good one.”

Carrentals.co.uk’s advice for those travelling to the World Cup finals in 2010:

Plan Ahead – Make sure your passport has at least 30 days left on it before you leave the UK and check that your insurance for travelling covers South Africa and look into the possibility that it may be cheaper to get a one year plan. Check out what jabs you may need and ensure your credit/debit card has no international block on it before you leave.

Getting Around – Hiring a car is the best way to get around for World Cup travellers as the distances that need to be covered are vast. Remember that South African’s drive on the left and at petrol stations, assistants will help you to fill up your vehicle. If you decide against hiring a car then only use official public transport or taxis.

Accommodation – Book before you get here and remember that if you are camping, the weather will be cold as it is winter in South Africa during the finals.

Staying safe – Thieves and pickpockets will be rife so be aware of where you are and what you have on you at all times. Keep valuables in the hotel safe and use official ATM machines only as fraud is common place.

Match Day – Arrive early to matches as security will be tight. Tip parking attendants and ensure you note where you left the car as there will be countless cars in the car park at the end of the game.

Robins Transport becomes first company to benefit from transport technology collaboration.

DA Systems, a leading UK provider of transport software solutions and SCS Multifreight, a supplier of logistics software & freight forwarding systems since 1980, have combined their NX Transport mobile data and MultiFreight freight forwarding systems to enable Robins Transport’s users to receive real-time information, at every stage of the delivery process.

Robins Transport is Cargo Overseas’ airfreight haulage subsidiary, based at Manchester Airport.

DA Systems’ NX Transport provides a comprehensive, proven and cost-effective platform for in-cab communications, data collection, automated POD capture and consignment tracking, together now with the tools to integrate seamlessly into SCS MultiFreight’s road distribution module.

This new joint system now allows Robins Transport’s operations staff to check availability and to allocate vehicles, at the touch of a button, direct from their booking screen. Real-time updates are communicated back as jobs are collected and delivered, so exceptions can be easily anticipated. Progress updates can be made available to customers – saving time for Robins Transport’s operators and ensuring the highest levels of customer service.

Robins Transport is able to efficiently manage its resources as time consuming data entry is eliminated with the direct logging of electronically signed PODs against each job. The system also automatically triggers the invoicing process as soon as each electronic POD is received – which greatly improves cash-flow and eliminates any delivery disputes.

Tom Clayton, managing director at SCS MultiFreight said, “We are always looking for innovative ways to add value for customers, so when we learnt about the DA Systems’ NX Transport product we were keen to explore the possibilities. DA Systems has worked closely with us to ensure that the integration is both robust and responsive and the solution is highly functional, whilst easy to use.”

Dave Upton, managing director at DA Systems said, “This is a great example of successful technology collaboration, demonstrating the additional benefits that integrated mobile data has to offer throughout the supply chain. It has been a pleasurable and rewarding process working with SCS Multifreight since NX Transport and Multifreight were identified as being such a complementary fit.”

Phillip Curran, managing director at Robins Transport commented, “The new system provides a dual commercial benefit in terms of efficiency improvements to our processes and an improved experience for our customers – as they receive information and updates on a real-time basis. The system surpassed all our expectations, in terms of the cost savings it has delivered from the business’ operations. This technology has allowed us to compete more effectively in the market and its key features have helped us win new, previous unattainable, contracts.”
