Big Surge In Early Christmas 2011 Car Hire Bookings Says Erentals.co.uk
38% upturn in advance reservations reported by car hire website
Online, November 25, 2011 (Newswire.com) - UK travellers are thinking ahead this Christmas and booking their festive car hire early in increasing numbers, reports car hire website eRentals.co.uk. The online specialist has experienced a jump in advance bookings of 38% for the Christmas and New Year period.
eRentals.co.uk reports that UK travellers' favourite destinations for booking Christmas car rentals this year include Geneva, Heathrow Airport, Lisbon, Faro and Manchester Airport. Many Brits take the opportunity at this time of year to head off and visit relations across the continent.
In many circles car hire is still looked upon as an optional extra when taking a trip, meaning many drivers wait until arriving in their destination before seeking a booking. This can result in them missing out or paying too much, however this Christmas eRentals.co.uk has seen more people booking in advance to secure good value deals and guaranteed availability.
Briony Fairbairn, spokesperson for eRentals.co.uk, says: "Car hire companies do say that this is their busiest time of the year meaning high demand for cars and extras. So people who want to ensure they get what they want should think ahead and book early."
"Hire providers can sometimes run out of popular cars such as family saloons, 4x4s or people carriers, not to mention extras such as child seats. We're pleased to see more and more people booking early this year, it means they will have a more pleasant Christmas trip!"
