Brits Advised to Set the Wheels in Motion for Bank Holiday Travel Plans

Comparison site Carrentals.co.uk urges travellers to book early to secure the best deals - prices from GBP13* a day



    LIGHTWATER, ENGLAND, April 11, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- From Turin to Torquay, leading car hire comparison site Carrentals.co.uk is advising British travellers to book their Bank Holiday car rental early to make sure they get the best deal.

With everyone feeling the financial strain, the company is encouraging customers to ensure they get the most for their money by planning ahead and comparing the most competitive rental prices to help keep travel costs down.

Managing director of Carrentals.co.uk, Gareth Robinson, says: "Despite the credit crunch, we are seeing very high demand for car rental over the May Bank Holidays. People still want to take a break from home and experience somewhere new, so they are continuing to commit money to travel plans.

"The secret is to shop around and compare the prices of all the different elements of your holiday. Prices are changing on an almost daily basis and so booking early can help you make substantial savings, no matter whether you're staying in the UK or venturing further a field."

Bank Holiday car rental in Faro currently starts from just GBP13* per day, from GBP15* per day in Madrid, GBP17* per day in Edinburgh and GBP16* per day in Boston.

Gareth adds: "This year we're seeing popular Bank Holiday destinations ranging from the UK, to central Europe and even America and the Middle East, as British travellers look at places where their money will go further."
