Daily Car Hire from £10 for August Bank Holiday

Leave a comment

22 August 2011 — RTPR — Award-winning car hire price comparator Carrentals.co.uk is advising UK travellers that there are still incredibly low rates available on rentals for the upcoming Bank Holiday in August. For just £10 per day, car hire can be had at many hot getaway spots such as Mallorca, Nice and others.

The world’s leading rental car companies such as Hertz, Budget and Avis are holding their summer rates low for the end of the summer travel season. Brits can still enjoy superb value deals on car hire in favourite locations around Greece, the south of France and the Mediterranean – with deals on show for as little as £30 for a three day package.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “Whether it’s a car hire in Menorca booking or the French Alps the tourist is looking for, great value rental rates are available on cars for this long weekend in August. The car hire companies are enjoying a good year, and they want to maintain this level of business throughout the summer’s end.”

“Because this is last Bank Holiday of the year and it is such a busy travel period, it is particularly important to make rental bookings early. Popular items like sat nav, infant safety seats or vehicles like a 4×4 or people carrier often sell out ahead of time during holidays. You can avoid disappointment by simply making a reservation in advance.”

Carrentals.co.uk, the top online rental car rate comparator, lists the latest specials and prices from international rental firms like Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt, and has processed over 650,000 rentals to date.

Carrentals.co.uk: Don’t Chance Not Reporting Penalty Points to Insurers

Leave a comment

03 August 2011 – Online car hire price comparison website Carrentals.co.uk is advising the UK’s drivers not to cut corners in seeking out ways to save on car insurance this year. The award-winning website, which is home to cheap car hire deals in over 15,000 locations, advises drivers to always announce penalty points on their licences to insurers.

With UK car insurance costs continuing to be higher than ever, some drivers look to reduce their premiums by not making insurers aware of penalty points and accidents they have been previously involved with. However many drivers don’t know that they are legally bound to report such facts to their insurance company.

Having been involved in an accident or incident in the past and not reporting it means that the driver can be left helpless should the insurance company decide not to pay out on a claim. In addition the driver is then also left driving without insurance under a void cover policy – also illegal under UK law.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “There is no doubt that car insurance is really expensive these days so we are in a way not surprised that people would seek to lower their outgoings however possible. Not telling an insurer about previous points is inadvisable though.”

“People at this time need to know that should they be involved in an accident under a void insurance policy through not announcing points, they will risk incurring extra costs – paying for other people’s cars, medical bills, legal fees and such. Points on a licence and also big fines can be levied too – so holding back that penalty points information in the first place can end up costing people more money if and when they get caught out.”

Carrentals.co.uk is the leading car hire comparison site providing cheap car hire by comparing 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 in Spain, USA and Switzerland, with a wide choice of pickup locations including car hire in Malaga, Denver and Geneva.

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

Leave a comment

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.
