Britons to enjoy lower car rental rates in Europe

Britons travelling to continental Europe during the off-season can look forward to discounted car rental rates, as analysts suggest that the price of renting a passenger vehicle will likely drop in the coming months. Rory Sexton, who runs Economy Car Hire, a company established in 2000, noted that Britons will find it increasingly possible to book cars for as little as £8. Many firms offer similar, single-digit daily rates during the quieter winter months, as competition among major rental companies heats up considerably across much of Europe during this time of the year.

Sexton predicts that while off-season prices will tend to decrease and while major discounts and promotional deals will become ever more prevalent in the industry, peak season prices will likely jump this year. As such, the best advice for Britons looking to hire a vehicle later this year is to try and travel during the off-season, in order to enjoy very significant savings. Sexton believes that there are “fantastic” deals available and that it would be foolhardy not to take advantage of these reduced rates.

As its name implies, Economy Car Hire (www.economycarhire.com ) focuses on offering clients low-cost rentals and as such, the firm is most popular among leisurely travelers, who are more likely to hunt for bargains than businesspeople. Additionally, the firm has built its reputation on offering a hassle-free car hire environment, where unexpected surcharges do not pop out of the woodwork. Economy Car Hire has enjoyed quite impressive growth over the course of the past eight years. The firm’s turnover now tops £12.5 million.
