This summer has seen cars in short supply, and today the BBC news website has highlighted this issue with news that many villa holiday customers have opted to cancel their travel plans rather than pay up to 100% more for their car hire compared to last year (according to travelsupermarket.com).
Good advice here is to always book early if you have booked your flight and accommodation seperately. It’s surprising the number of people who will book a flight and a villa in January, and then leave thier car hire booking to a few weeks (or even days!) before they travel. In years gone by, at worst this may have meant not getting the hire car of choice. This year it has meant many people have had to pay more than before or even seeing no car hire available at all.
In European resorts, easyCar has increasingly better availability as the summer high season progresses, particularly if you are travelling from late August onwards. However, supply will still be tighter than in normal years, and the later you leave it the higher the price will be – so book early!
There’s still a voucher code offer available from easyCar to help you save on car hire, just visit the car hire discount page and use the code on the screen!
