*On the Sunday, August 19th, 2012 edition of The Travel Guys…*

Sunday on The Travel Guys we are joined by consumer reporter Ed Perkins of [SmarterTravel.com](http://www.smartertravel.com), who talks about credit cards and car rentals. Will your card save you a ton of money? How do you avoid those high pressure car rental salespeople? Ed has some hints.

We are visited by a special lady, with a special mission. Carol Van Bruggen is the driving force behind the [Africa Hope Fund](http://africahopefund.org). It is the result of falling in love with the people and the land on her first visit a dozen years ago. Carol tells us about the charity, its mission and about a special fund raiser coming up here in Sacramento next month, [Safari on the River](http://africahopefund.org/wp/?event=safari-on-the-river).

Finally, Mark walks us through catalog season at [Sports Leisure Vacations](http://www.sportsleisure.com), and gives his following a look at what will be in the pages of the new catalog when it premieres next Saturday at Tour Preview Day
