UK tourists are using the snow weather and cold winter as a chance to get away to sunnier climes for the February half term. The news comes from online car hire price comparison specialist Comparecarhire.co.uk.

The website has seen a spike in bookings for car hire in places such as Portugal, Spain, Greece and Miami, where one year ago people were making bookings for locations in the UK and Switzerland.

Andy Hemmington, spokesperson for Comparecarhire.co.uk, commented: “People definitely seem to be heading away to the sunshine for a warmer weather break this February. With people still working to limited budgets we’re pleased to be able to help them source cheap car hire to make trips more affordable.”

“There are ways to get cheaper car hire deals, and having compared deals online to source the best deals, people should consider pickups in other places like downtown areas to get still better value deals.”
