Carrentals.co.uk recommends early booking to ensure availability of Bank Holiday rental cars
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT
17 August 2009 – Top website Carrentals.co.uk has advised those Brits heading away for the summer Bank Holiday period to book their car hire early if they want to avoid being disappointed. Destinations including Alicante and Malaga have already reported high demand and lowered stock.
While the economic environment continues to be tough, lots of car hire suppliers have lowered their stock which means travellers can end up having to pay more.
Gareth Robinson, managing director of Carrentals.co.uk, said: “Availability is a really big deal this Bank Holiday period as many suppliers decide to reduce stock levels in the face of the credit crunch.”
“To help ensure availability of vehicles and value for money, people need to book ahead and consider specialist and niche suppliers of cars. Because we compare as many as 50 car rental providers we can help people secure value and choice.”
A week’s Bank Holiday car hire in Orlando starts at £15* a day and offers can be had like £18* a day in Crete, from £17* a day in Newquay and from £23* per day in Malaga.
Gareth Robinson continued: “One way of helping the issue is to think about other car hire pick-up places to find better value and increased availability while places like Spain experience increased early demand.”
Carrentals.co.uk compares prices on car rental from as many as 50 rental companies, including Alamo, Budget, EasyCar, Holiday Autos and Sixt in over 9,000 locations around the world.
