		<description><![CDATA[Car hire in Cape Town, South Africa is a matter of selecting the right rental agency. There are several car rental agencies in Cape Town that provide competitive services for customers. They rent out all kinds of cars ranging from family cars, luxury sports cars, and SUVs to beach buggies and limousines.  Cars can be hired on a daily or weekly or even monthly basis. The minimum rental period is 24 hrs and maximum is 30 days, though it can be extended. The minimum permissible age of the driver is 21 years.

You can hire Audis, Fiats, Mercedes, Peugeots, Seats, Volkswagens and many other models of cars. Some of the common categories are: mini, luxury, premium, standard, intermediate, minivans/MPVs, SUVs, and compacts. The prices, policies and conditions vary greatly according to the kind of car. Professional chauffeurs are also available with some cars. Prices range from R 195.00 per day (between 3-6 days), R 170.00 per day (7-13 days) and R 145.00 per day (more than 14 days) for a Toyota Tazz 1300 (non-A/C) to R 220.00 per day (between 3-6 days), R 200.00 per day (7-13 days) and R 190.00 per day (more than 14 days) for a Toyota Corolla 1600 with A/C and R 380.00 per day (between 3-6 days), R 350.00 per day (7-13 days) and R 290.00 per day (more than 14 days) for a Audi A4 2.0 with A/C.

These prices may include unlimited mileage, and third party liability insurance.

There are several terms and conditions to be considered while hiring cars. These include: terms of payment, terms of hire, driver's license, personal services, gas prices, over the border rentals, additional drivers, one-way rentals, personal accident insurance and other coverage, emergency medical assistance, damage and theft waivers, and so on. Several kinds of fees may also be charged for car hiring apart from the basic rental, such as: delivery and collection charges, value added tax, rental contract fee, accident administration fee, traffic fine administration fee, congestion charge, late charges/overtime, premium location fee, service fee, and others.

There are also international car hire agencies in Cape Town that enable online reservations. They have websites that make booking easier by just filling in an online form that contains basic information like: the kind of car preferred, date of rental, the collection and delivery locations, and credit card information.

There are many car rental agencies in Cape Town. Information can be obtained from yellow pages, classifieds or from advertisements. The internet is also a very good source for locating a good car hire agency and even applying for the hire online.. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Los Angeles (ContentDesk) September 30, 2005 -- "Asset protection (lawsuit protection) is more important now than it has been in the history of the US," asserts Kevin Wessell, the asset protection expert and who heads LA-based Companies Incorporated."Beginning in October 2005 a new law will go into effect that eliminates Chapter 7 debt elimination bankruptcy for 50% of the population. If you made more than the median income of your state, you can no longer wipe out your debts. You will be forced into a chapter 13 bankruptcy instead which gives the courts control of your spending and allocates a significant portion of your income to your enemies-at-law," said Mr. Wessell.Asset protection is controversial. Some say, "Well if you loose a lawsuit, you should pay." Where others agree with the attitude, "I've worked hard for my money. If someone wants to take it away from me, they are going to have to work much harder," according to Mr. Wessell.  Mr Wessell went on to say:  "Let's say you get into a car wreck. You don't notice a stop sign and you sideswipe a stockbroker. He is seriously injured and requires hospitalization. The stockbroker's attorney sees that you own a home, a car and have a bank account. Once they see you have assets to seize, the attorney agrees to take the case. The judge deems you responsible. You get judgment against you for one million dollars. The good news is that you have $500,000 of insurance. But the bad news is that you only have $500,000 of insurance.You get a phone from the opposing attorney saying, ?Write me a check for $500,000'.You say, ?I don't have the money.'?I'll help you then,' he says.You wake up one morning and your checking account is empty. Then   your savings account is empty.  Pretty soon the Sheriff pulls up in front of your house demanding that you leave. You house is sold on the courthouse steps. You are left, broke, confused and embarrassed?and homeless. Did you know that most homeless people are not wandering hobos? Most are people like you and me who lost everything in scenarios such as the one we have just described. "So, what do I do?" you may ask.  Well, since you asked, here is a solution:Asset protection.The secret to asset protection consist of these two points:1.????Own "nothing."2.????Control "everything."What I mean by own nothing is to not own anything in your own name. Instead, own assets inside legal tools that can protect your assets and your privacy. These legal tools allow you to have control of your resources without having them titled in your name. Below are some examples.How do I protect my home?One's personal residence can be owned by a land trust. A land trust is a legal document that is used to keep the ownership of real estate private. The public records show that your home is owned by a trust. But it does not say who holds the beneficial interest in the trust.For details, click this link: Land Trust Information  How do I protect my savings and investments?It depends on how much you have to protect. For smaller amounts, a limited liability company (LLC) is a good choice. When you are sued, personally, there are provisions in the law such that the assets you have inside an LLC can be protected from being taken away from you, Mr Wessell points out..For details, please click here: LLC FormationFor larger amounts, the offshore asset protection trust is arguably the strongest legal tool available. When a judge in your jurisdiction says, "Give me the money," the licensed, bonded offshore trustee can refuse to comply. Since the judge does not have jurisdiction over the foreign trustee; your money remains safe and secure, he said.For details on the offshore trust, please click here: Offshore Trust for Asset ProtectionHow do I protect my rental properties? On rental properties, Mr Wessell says, "each rental property may be placed in separate land trusts for privacy of ownership. The land trusts, in turn are owned by LLC's for asset protection and lawsuit protection. It is prudent to keep the equity per LLC, if possible, to $200,000 or less".How do I protect my cars?Protecting cars is a bit trickier, says Mr. Wessell. "In a car wreck two parties are sued: the driver and the owner. Since you will likely be the driver of your own car, you will be on the hook either way. So, here is what we do for cars:1.????Place the car in a title holding trust for privacy of ownership. This will make it difficult for someone to find that you own the car when they are conducting a public records search.2.????Place a lien against the car using an LLC that you own privately.""It is essential that one does not mix safe and dangerous assets. That is why you would not place your car in the same LLC that owns your cash or mutual fund investments. In the event of a collision, the cash would be an easy target.""Though the new bankruptcy laws make it more difficult to wipe out debt and liability from a lawsuit, there are some important steps you can take to protect the things you have worked so hard to attain. "About Companies IncorporatedEstablished in 1977, privately-held Companies Incorporated serves both large and small businesses throughout the USA and in some foreign locales with incorporating services, establishing LLCs (limited liability companies) to creating offshore companies aimed at protecting assets to legally reducing annual taxes.  CI also provides services to establish S corporations and non-profit organizations as well.  CI holds national seminars on its various services, most recently to a sell-out gathering of professionals in a prestigious Las Vegas hotel.CI is based in the Los Angeles area at 27200 Tourney Road, Santa Clarita, CA 91355.

		<title>Exposing the Car Insurance Quote Mystery</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Congratulations, you have just purchased the car of your dreams; you worked a great deal, now it is time to insure it.  Car insurance is mandatory in all states, and must be maintained throughout ownership.  Insurance quotes can vary from company to company, and there are a few factors that you can control, and other factors you cannot. A full understanding of how insurance quotes are arrived at, will give you the best rate, and maximum coverage. 

Factors that cannot be controlled include the age of the driver.  Common sense tells us that a new driver would be more of a risk to an insurance company, than an established driver.  Therefore a driver in their early 20's would pay a higher premium than a driver in their 40's.  Further, elderly drivers have poor reaction time, and similarly would pay more of a premium.  The ideal driving age would be between 35 to 55 years; anyone younger, or older would pay more.

Gender is another uncontrolled factor that insurance quotes are based on.  Statistically, insurance companies see females as safer drivers than males.  As a result, female drivers pay less than their male counterparts.

There are factors, which we can control, namely the amount of traffic tickets and accidents.  A ticket is a violation of law that could potentially result in an accident.  Insurance companies frown on this, and will penalize the driver with higher rates.  Similarly, accidents could indicate a pattern of behavior; as such the driver is penalized with higher rates.

Where you live is another controlling factor that effects insurance quotes. Living in a rural area, puts the driver at much less risk of accident or theft as compared to living in a city.  As a result, city drivers will pay a larger premium than rural drivers with very few exceptions.

Want to drive a Porsche 911 Carrera? It will cost you.  The more your car is worth, the higher your insurance quote will be.  The logic should be obvious.  

Car insurance companies are now looking at your credit worthiness.  Do you have excessive, outstanding credit, or no credit at all?  If so, you are a risk in the eyes of the insurance companies, and will get socked with higher insurance quotes.  Keeping your credit in check will show the insurance companies you are responsible, both financially, and on the road.  As a result, you will pay lower premiums.

Your occupation can put you at a higher risk.  Jobs that require many hours of driving, or driving in hazardous conditions, or places will put your quote at a higher rate.  Less driving, and exposure to high-risk opportunities, will result in lower premiums.  Additionally you want to keep your annual mileage down to a minimum.  The more miles you drive, the greater the risk of accident.

Vehicle theft is a risk factor that can easily be minimized.  Most companies will give you a discount for having better security for your vehicle. An alarm, or another approved anti-theft device will usually result in some discount. Some companies may insist on having such devices installed on more expensive and desirable cars before they even consider offering you a price. 

Some companies look favorably on drivers who have taken a defensive driver's course.  They see this as a commitment to safer driving, thereby lowering the risk of accident, resulting in lower premiums.

Keep in mind these are just general guidelines, and the difference in price between various companies can be significant. What one company may consider a high-risk factor another company may not view as so important. The bottom line, keep your credit in check, be careful on the road and choose a car that fits your budgets.

		<description><![CDATA[Nowadays you can find cheap cell phones from any cell phone provider.  They all have phones ranging from free to about $100 for new and current subscribers.  Many of these cheap cell phones may even be more than that but have a mail in rebate to get them below that $100 price.  This has made it easier for almost anyone to get a cell phone since they are no longer only for the "rich."  It's a fast growing trend.
Part of the new pricing for cheap cell phones is a lure for companies to get new business.  This not only includes gaining new clients who have never owned a cell phone but also trying to steal clients from their competitors.  Not only can a buyer find deals at the local stores, places online like www.cellphonecellphone.com also have deals.

	Getting a cheap cell phone isn't just about the phone anymore either.  Accessories are a big part of having a cell phone.  And truthfully having a headset for your car is essential, not just a luxury, with all the accidents these days from people talking on cell phones and not paying attention to the road.  Not to mention there are states where you must have a headset to talk in your car.  You can also find cheap accessories at www.cellphonecellphone.com on top of the deals that they have for the phones themselves.

	Of course the definition of cheap varies from person to person.  Some would say $0-50 is what a cheap cell phone would cost.  Others would say that $50-100 is cheap considering what all features phones have these days.  From phones that have cameras in them to music and even video capabilities, the possibilities for what a person wants their phone to be able to do is almost unlimited.  

	Not only are many companies giving rebates, both in store and mail in, for buying their phones but many more are also offering buy one get one free deals to make even expensive phones cheap for multiple users on the same plan.  These deals can be up to $200 but once the rebate is given, the deal makes both phones cheap to buy.  Sometimes these deals are even on new phones that normally would be more expensive than most people would be willing to pay.

	Of course part of the reason for cell phones to be so cheap these days is also the fact that it's cheaper to make them than in the past.  Cheaper parts and labor result in cheap cell phones for the consumer.  This also results in phones being made similar but not identical.  One phone might be a regular phone and another, same style same company, a flip phone.

	With all that has changed in even the last two years in the cell phone business, many people are getting into the business and starting their own places to buy name brand cheap cell phones.  Even www.cellphonecellphone.com has a link for someone interested to open their own store or online site.  

	Anymore anyone can buy a cheap cell phone for use and find exactly what they want in one.  It's easy to find deals not only in stores that provide the service, but at places online and in land stores.  It is even becoming a business for those that want to take the risk of being their own boss.  . ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Homeowners insurance policies are designed to provide financial protection to your home incase of any disaster such as earthquake, fire, floods and poor maintenance. In fact, a homeowner policy is said to be a package policy in the sense that not only does it provide insurance cover to any damage caused to your home but it also covers your liability in case of any injuries or damage caused by you, the members of your family and your pets. However, in case of disasters like earthquakes and floods, you need to have a separate policy. A standard homeowner policy covers four major areas. These include structure of the home, personal belongings, liability protection, and additional expenses. The additional expenses refer to the ones that you may have incur when you are temporarily unable to live in your house because of damages caused by disasters such as fire, or any other insured disaster.

Structural Cover

The policy covers repairs that may be required because of disasters such as fires, storms, hurricanes, lightening or any other disaster coverage mentioned in your policy. As said before, the policy will not cover damages caused by earthquake and floods. You need to buy a separate policy to cover them.

Personal Belongings 

A standard homeowner policy should cover your personal belongings such as furniture, clothes, sports and entertainment equipment that is either damaged because of a fire or a hurricane or has been stolen. You can also opt for off-premises coverage.  This means you can obtain coverage for your belongings that are not physically present in the home such as jewelry put away in the bank. In fact, you can also have coverage for your plants and shrubs if damage is caused by fire, vandalism and riots.

Liability 

This part of the policy covers you against lawsuits that may result if you or your family members are responsible for bodily injury or property damage of another person.. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Government loans are those that the government of a country provides to the citizens of that country in order to fulfill there needs and for their uplfitment or betterment. This helps in reducing the wide gap between the rich and the poor and streamlines the economy of the country. Government loans almost are for all sorts of purposes like education loan, loan for purchasing a house- home loan, loan for setting a business- SBA- Small Business Loan, purchasing a car, heavy machine etc. Government loans are broadly divided into two categories- VA and FHA. The former i.e. VA loans are quite beneficial for they require no down payment and mortgage insurance. They are under the sponsorship of the Veterans Administration from where the name is derived. These loans are provided at fixed rates which are not subject to modification. VA loans are meant only for qualified veterans and not to the rest of the public. FHA loans can be given to any qualified person who wants it. They need a little extensive paper work and are most often opted by those who seek to purchase multi family properties since they have a seemingly low down payment. If we do a comparative analysis of the loans provided by the private companies and banks and those provided by the government, the latter outweighs the former in many respects. The sole motive behind a private bank or company's lending money to people is to earn profits or to accumulate more wealth. But the government works for the noble cause of benefit of its citizens. It does not seek to fulfill any private purpose but the whole idea is to strengthen the country's economy.It is not that the government unlike any other private company giving loan has no criteria or a set of parameters to adjudicate who all are eligible for the loan they apply for. But this criterion is often a mild one. Government at times gives loan to even those who do not have the potential to repay it. Not just this but in case of any natural calamity or disaster if those who have taken the loan become inefficient to pay it back, the government simply excuses the loan amount. As compared to the private banks and companies the rate of interest at which the government loans are offered are significantly low. Moreover the government can provide large amount of loan for a considerable period of time. This enables one to have relatively small monthly installments and more security. Private companies in order to make large profits usually charge high rates of interests from their customers. They lure the customers by promising of instant delivery of loan amount at their doorstep and with least documentation. The government loans generally require more documents but that should not undermine their benefits. While going for any government loan the best one can do to avoid running around is to opt for a well qualified agent. These agents do all the official work (like collecting documents, checking and submitting them) by going from one office to another. The finest part is that they are not too expensive and provide you with sufficient knowledge, guidance and service at your ease. Thus make a prudent choice, take loans through government. They can be of tremendous help since the government is always meant for the welfare of public.. ]]></description>
