Plan “B” for unexpected car trouble

Just before the school holidays started, we were all wondering what we could do instead of lazing at home like we usually do. In the midst of many other suggestions that came in from all members of the family, my dad suggested that we should plan a trip to Nuwara Eliya. Most of us were fed up with the scorching heat in Colombo, and the relaxing atmosphere and fresh air in Nuwara Eliya sounded like the ideal plan. After planning with their annual leave and the availability of the hotels, my parents decided that we leave Colombo on the 23rd December and return on the 28th December.

After a couple of weeks, on the 21st of December when my father wanted to go to the supermarket, he found out that there was something seriously wrong with the engine and car wouldn’t start it seemed. This was the worst thing that could happen out of all the complications possible! We realized that we are going on a bit of a bumpy trek with the unexpected complication which came our way. We had already finalized our trip plans and hence could not drop off last minute from the plan. Our only option was to rent a vehicle from a place where they offer quality cars for rent in Sri Lanka such as Kings Rent a Car Colombo and drive to our destination. With no hesitation, we Googled it up (www.kingsrentacar.com)  and with the easy-to-use vehicle on their site, we found ourselves the ideal vehicle for our family getaway! In a fraction of time my father called the vehicle renting company and in half and hours’ time, we were driving off to Nuwara Eliya in comfortable vehicle.

After reaching Nuwara Eliya, we checked in to a hotel where we were welcomed warmly. After a peaceful few days in Nuwara Eliya, we arrived in Colombo just as we planned on the 28th.
