‘Our company will be hosting four clients from Tokyo next week. They'll be arriving
‘on Sunday and will stay at the Flint Hotel downtown, so I'd like to arrange for a car
to meet them at the airport and take them to their hotel. We'll be taking them to visit
various sites around the city on Tuesday, so I'd like to hire a car for that entire day.
In addition to the clients, two or three of our staff members will be with them, 50
welll need a car large enough to accommodate everyone, Then on Wednesday, we
plan to take them to visit our factory in Farmingham. A larger group will be going
along on that trip, so I'd like to hire a van. Although that is an out of town trip, i's
