Choosing London Airports Transfer

Arriving in one of London Airports: Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, or Gatwick, the problem is the same: what is the cheapest way to get into city.

If you are arriving in Heathrow Airport (LHR), then luckily there is underground (subway) train system running across 5 terminals going to city by taking Piccadilly line. It is pretty cheap in UK standard, only £5.30 by cash (using Oyster Card will be cheaper). The only drawback is that has many stops during the way, more than 45 minutes to Victoria Station in city center.

But it is a different story for Stansted, Luton, and Gatwick Airport, where not served by underground train. Business oriented train companies run these airport trains and unfortunately they are pretty expensive.

Tips Rental Mobil di New Zealand - Part 3

Pada bagian terakhir dari tips menyewa mobil di New Zealand, di sini saya tulis beberapa tips untuk menghemat biaya

1. One-way Hire

Pada umumnya jika kita menyewa mobil akan dikembalikan ke tempat yang sama. Namun bagi turis/wisatawan umumnya lebih suka menyewa mobil satu arah, misalnya ambil di Auckland dan dikembalikan di Wellington, atau bahkan mobil dikembalikan di Christchurch. Di sini istilahnya one-way hire, dan biasanya dikenakan biaya tambahan (surcharge).

Mengapa sebaiknya kita menyewa satu arah? Karena biasanya tidak mungkin kita mengunjungi sebuah kota sebanyak dua kali (saat pergi dan pulang), terlalu menghabiskan waktu dan ingat biaya bahan bakar di NZ cukup mahal (1 liter gasoline oktan 91 = NZD 2.10 per Oct 2011).

Tidak semua perusahaan rental punya jaringan luas. Kota seperti Auckland dan Christchurch sudah pasti banyak depot rental, tapi belum tentu ada di Queenstown. Jadi jika kita ingin one-way hire, pastikan rental punya depot di kota tujuan.
