Early Booking Helps Holidaymakers Use Car Hire to See Europe - Carrentals.co.uk

Travellers can explore popular destinations with ease using car hire, reveals Carrentals.co.uk.

2011-03-24

SURREY, ENGLAND, March 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) Those who want to use car hire to explore Europe this summer will want to take the advice of leading price comparison website Carrentals.co.uk and book in advance. While prices are low at the current time, they are set to soar soon along with demand and temperatures.

Car hire is by far the best way to explore popular destinations such as Malaga, Faro and Nice, as visitors will have the freedom to drive along stunning scenic stretches of coastline, pausing whenever the mood strikes them to take in the view. Independent travellers will be in their element as they simply take to the road and get to know their destination of choice.

However, recent trends have shown that prices rise dramatically in the summer months, and while car rental prices in Alicante are currently just GBP16* a day, they rose to GBP31 last August and those in the know believe that this trend will be repeated this year.

One of those with their finger on the pulse of car hire is Gareth Robinson, who is the Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk. recently advised customers that, "Exploring the Mediterranean and other sun kissed destinations is the best way to get the most out of your holiday. However, those who put off booking to the last minute will find that prices that markedly higher than at the present time."

"This means that booking car hire early can make a big difference to your holiday budget and save you extra cash to treat the kids to something special. Not only are prices lower in March and April, but the chances of getting your first choice of vehicle is also much higher."

Visitors who check out the current prices for a week of car hire in August will discover that they start from GBP13* just per day at Barcelona Airport, GBP18* per day at the popular Larnaca Airport and just GBP17* at Malaga Airport.

"Budget conscious car hirers will want to browse around for the best bargains," adds Gareth. "We recommend that drivers also consider hiring a larger vehicle, as there are some excellent deals on SUVs and other large vehicles at the moment."
