The recession has slammed the
car market and the
car finance industry, but the bad news could be extending to
holidaymakers. Those
travelling abroad this
summer are being
advised to book their
car rental in advance of arriving this summer.
Prices for
car hire have soared as
car rental companies run low on stock. Travelsupermarket
expert, Peter Smith, reportedly said: It is all to do with
supply and demand. So instead of increasing their
vehicle fleets, they have just retained their
cars . At Easter, there were a lot of places where cars were
just booked out, so you have to book early.
Booking
a car early is usually not too difficult, particularly by using
online tools to ensure availability and compare
car prices .
