5 Mistakes You Must Avoid After Renting a Car for Business

You might be planning on renting a car for a business trip. Renting a car for business is a better idea, compared to going by a public transport. As it saves you a lot of time and also money to deliver. To avoid extra charges or incurring additional costs there are some mistakes to avoid after renting a car for business. You shouldn’t have any worries, here are five mistakes to avoid after renting a car for business. 1. Not Refilling the Petrol Tank When you rent a car for business, some rental companies will give you a full tank and expect you to return the car with filled. Of course, you will be told before renting, so make sure you don’t forget on your way back, else you are going to pay more than the price of a full tank. 2. Pairing your Phone with Bluetooth Some cars allow you to connect your phone to the cars navigation system and stereo system using Bluetooth. This is super cool, as it allows you to play music from your phone and also receive or make hands free calls. But when you are setting up and you synchronize all your information’s on the phone unto the car, all your personal information including contacts and phone details will be loaded into the car. This means other people who would rent the car will have access to your details. 3. Ignoring Existing Rental Car Damage When you realize a fault or damage in the car after renting a car, please let the rental company know about it or return it even if you are late or in a hurry and pick a new car else you are going to be paying for the damages. 4. Taking a Rental Car Over the Border When you’re renting a car for business, it is good you disclose all the locations you will be taking the car to, to the car rental company and abide by them. Some rental companies have GPS systems that track where ever you send the car. You will incur extra cost when they realized you drove over the border. 5. Not Returning the Car on Time If you rent a car for 24 hrs. and you return it after let’s say 25hrs, please know that you will be paying for two full days. So, you might want to be punctual and return the car on time. Frimpeince Transport Services is currently located at Cantonment, Accra.

General / By Customer Care

Eid-ul-Fitr (Eid ul-Fitr, Eid ul-Fitr, Id-ul-Fitr, Eid) is the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal. It marks the end of Ramadan, which is a month of fasting and prayer. Many Muslims attend communal prayers, listen to a khutba (sermon) and give zakat al-fitr (charity in the form of food) during Eid Ul-Fitr. Many Muslims dress in fine clothing and children receive gifts on Eid ul-Fitr. Many Muslims attend communal prayers and listen to a khutbaor sermon on the first day of the month of Shawwal. These prayers are held outside or in large venues, such as sports arenas, in some places. Many Muslims may travel far to participate in these activities. Some communities organize different festivities, such as communal meals or events for children, on this day. If a Muslim has not given zakat al-fitr during Ramadan, he or she can give this on Eid-ul-Fitr. Zakat al-fitr is a form of charity consisting of a quantity of food, such as barley, dates, raisins or wheat flour, or its monetary equivalent given to the poor. Many Muslims may also prepare festive meals to share, wear new clothes, visit relatives and give presents or candy to children.

The Northern Region of Ghana is the largest region in Ghana in terms of land area. The Northern Region is blessed with many tourist sites, but what easily comes to the mind of people when the Northern region is mentioned is tribal wars, poverty, under development and harsh climate conditions. If you are in the Northern Region and looking for interesting tourist sites to visit, I will recommend these five. The Mole National Park The Mole National Park is a tourist site, located close to the Larabanga township. The Mole National Park is Ghana’s largest wildlife refuge. The Park is home to numerous and diverse plant and animal species, which include: elephants, hippos, buffalos, bird’s species, and many others. The Lovi and Mole rivers flow through the park. The Park’s entrance can be reached through the Larabanga township. The Larabanga Mosque The Larabanga Mosque is said to be Ghana’s oldest mosque and one of the country’s most revered religious site. It was built in the 17th century and is one of only eight mosques with such architecture designs built in the country. The Mosque is famous for its architectural design. Larabanga Mystery Stone Some few kilometers away from the Larabanga Mosque, is another interesting tourist site in the Larabanga township: The Larabanga Mystery Stone. Mystery has it that, the stone, always moves back to its original resting place when it is moved. Because of this, the main road passing through the town had to be diverted around the stone. Salaga Slave Market Salaga Slave market is one of the most important tourism land marks in the country. Back in the 17th century, the Salaga slave market was very important for traders who traded in all kinds of goods in this market: kola, beads, ostrich, feathers, gold, textiles, animal hides etc. It used to be the largest slave market in West Africa where humans were sold in exchange for cowries. The Salaga Slave Market, is located in Salaga. Nalerigu Defense Wall The Nalerigu Defense Wall can be found in Nalerigu, in the East Mamprusi district, about 156km away from Tamale, the regional capital. The wall was said to be built about 500 years ago by Naa Jaringa, a chief of the Mamprusi tribe. He built the wall initially to surround the whole village to protect the villagers from slave raiders and also to ensure that his name: Naa Jaringa would always be remembered. According to local people, the wall was built with stones, mud, honey and milk. Today, only a few remains of the wall can be seen in Nalerigu. Daboya Township Daboya is a very famous town in the Norther region of Ghana. It is known majorly for its salt mining. It still an important activity in the town today. Apart from salt mining, the town also known for its hand woven and unique textiles. The white Volta also runs nearby and visitors can go for boat rides and fishing.
