Award-winner Carrentals.co.uk tells travellers to book ahead to secure availability and value this summer
17 August 2009 – British tourists travelling abroad for the summer Bank Holiday spell are having a hard time getting car hire as availability dwindles – but leading price comparator www.carrentals.co.uk is here to help by advising them to book well ahead to get rentals in places like Alicante and Malaga.
On the back of the continuing financial crisis, some car hire providers have taken the drastic step of reducing inventory, meaning demand has leapt up.
Gareth Robinson, managing director of www.carrentals.co.uk, commented: “While this financial situation remains as it is, we will continue to see some car hire providers cutting their stock levels meaning that demand has leapt up.”
“At www.carrentals.co.uk though we are able to give travellers the best chance of getting car hire availability at the right price thanks to us sourcing deals from up to 50 hire providers.”
For the summer Bank Holiday one week’s hire in Orlando starts at only £15* a day as well as £18* a day in Crete, from £17* a day in Newquay and from £23* per day in Malaga.
Gareth Robinson went on: “Our aim is to help customers get the best car hire deals possible at all times, so we also recommend thinking about using alternative collection and drop-off points for your vehicle as a way of getting increased choice.”
