Latest Cash-Making Hire Car Schemes Carry Problems says Carrentals.co.uk

8 July 2011 – /RTPR/ – Online car hire comparison specialist Carrentals.co.uk – the website which saves the country’s motorists money on car rental wherever they are travelling – has reported that car owners need to be careful if indulging in the latest car hire money generation schemes.

Whipcar is an example of the schemes motorists are using, with the intention of the schemes to make some additional case for car owners. Online car hire comparator Carrentals.co.uk is however counselling people that they should be careful what they expect on the back end of renting their car to someone.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, comments: “We have a huge amount of expertise in helping people save money on their car hire needs all around the world. Whether people want to book car hire in France or find ski trip rentals on a budget we are able to help and to guide them through the various pitfalls involved.”

“These new programmes such as Whipcar may seem like good ways to make money – but people need to know that their own car won’t be as carefully maintained as it would be by themselves. There are all sorts of problems which can occur or cause disputes – food spillages, wrong petrol, poor treatment of the car in general et cetera. So we are warning people to be aware of this kind of thing.”

“We can get people cars from top name providers for about the same prices – so we can offer hirers greater comfort and peace of mind knowing that they are not hiring from someone emotionally connected to the vehicle in the first place.”

“We appreciate that people want to make a bit of extra cash but these kinds of schemes really do contain potential problems – so people need to go into them with their eyes open.”

Carrentals.co.uk is the leading car hire comparison site which compares deals from up to 50 rental companies, including Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt, in over 15,000 locations worldwide, including car hire at Geneva Airport and across the USA.
