Car Hire Site Carrentals.co.uk Tells Brits to Prepare for Rental Shortage in Spain Over Summer
Tourists from the UK who are holidaying in Spain this year may face vehicle shortages and should book their car hire as early as possible.
Online, March 6, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Tourists from the UK who are holidaying in Spain this year may face vehicle shortages and should book their car hire as early as possible.
Award-winning car hire price comparator Carrentals.co.uk has warned travellers that following a period of high demand and multiple advance bookings, there could be as many as 18,000 fewer vehicles available to rent in Spain this summer holiday season. The result of this high demand is likely to be reduced availability of cars to rent and also increased prices.
Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, commented: "The reduced level of cars available to rent in Spain is going to be a major headache this coming summer. As such we are really recommending to travellers that they get their rental booking made early in order to beat the likely inflated prices and lack of car stocks."
"Our site is a real boon to travellers as they can use us to compare car hire at as many as 50 rental providers, which means that if one particular company doesn't offer the car or deal they want, a smaller provider probably will."
One week's car hire in Malaga this summer currently starts at only £17* a day, with prices from £18* a day in Alicante, from £19* a day in Palma and from £21* a day in Ibiza.
Gareth continued: "The majority of people will find that they pay more than they would want to if they do not move fast. The smart move right now is to compare as many deals as possible online and get that Spain car hire deal in place as soon as you can."
Carrentals.co.uk compares car hire deals from up to 50 rental companies, including Alamo, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt in over 15,000 locations worldwide.
