Carrentals.co.uk Serves Up Advice for 2012 London Olympic Visitors

Online car hire comparator offers helpful tips for finding the best deals on rentals during London's Olympic Games next summer

With the clock ticking on next year's London 2012 Olympics, the top car rental rate comparison website Carrentals.co.uk wants travellers to be aware of the benefits of booking car hire well in advance. Availability, selection and lower rates are just of the advantages of any early reservation.

The whole world is anxiously awaiting next year's 2012 Olympics in London, which takes place from 27 July to 12 August. With more than 26 sporting events on the docket, these Olympic Games should be a marvellous spectacle followed by the inspirational 2012 Paralympic Games that run from 29 August to 9 September.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: "The Olympic Games in London are just 10 months off, and already visitors are finalising their travel plans for the big event. This mass influx of visitors will result in a huge demand for rental cars, and consequently much higher rental rates."

"If you are sure of your travel dates don't waste any time booking your car hire as well. By booking early you can almost be certain to lock down lower prices on the car and have a much wider vehicle selection. Advanced reservations also make it easier to secure hot add-ons like sat nav and child safety seats. Car hire booking agencies like ours can accept reservations months in advance, so shop around for the best deal and lock it in."
