December 8 – Heavier than normal snowfall and an early commencement of the ski season has led to a jump in demand for ski resort car hire according to price comparator specialists Carrentals.co.uk.
With ski resorts reporting high early levels of snow, up to 130cm in the popular destinations in Austria, Italy and Switzerland, skiers are travelling to the slopes sooner than usual.
Managing director of Carrentals.co.uk, Gareth Robinson, commented, “This great early start to the ski season has led to us seeing a real jump in car hire enquiries and reservations. There is still availability but we are recommending that holidaymakers plan ahead, compare and book their hire car in advance and avoid the problems of hunting for a good rental deal on arrival.â€
Price comparator specialist Carrentals.co.uk reviews and compares car hire prices from numerous leading rental providers in over 9,000 locations, including popular ski destinations such as Chambery, Lyon and Turin. Prices start at just £13* per day in Aspen, £18* per day in Lyon and £21* per day in Banff and Geneva.
Gareth continued, “We want holidaymakers to avoid the hassle of searching for a good value car hire deal when they reach their destination, so it is best that they check out prices in advance of travelling and book their car online. That way they ensure they get the best deal and access to valuable add-ons like snow chains and child seats.â€
