New Car Rental Search App Introduced on Facebook By Carrentals.co.uk

    SURREY, ENGLAND, May 21, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Thanks to the launch of a new Facebook page by Carrentals.co.uk, the UK's leading car hire price comparison site, customers can now find out the availability and compare prices on locations around the world more easily than ever before.

Comparing prices of over 50 suppliers, the in-house Facebook app was developed to be able to show the vehicles, prices and availability for customers using GBPGB, $AU, $US and Euros.

The application has been developed to pre-enter the details of the searcher, such as their age, country of origin, email address and currency. The user can also amend each of these to suit different search results.

Gareth Robinson, the Managing Director and spokesperson for Carrentals.co.uk, said: "We are really happy that we have launched our new Facebook app, as it is a natural progression into social media as that's the way the internet is heading now. We are helping people who use Facebook to combine it with searching for the best priced car hire deals around.

"We have spent a lot of time getting the app right and that means that customers don't have to leave Facebook to find out the results of their search, which makes it really user-friendly."

Customers can check for the best prices and deals on the Carrentals.co.uk Facebook application (which can be accessed here: www.facebook.com/Carrentals.co.uk?sk=app_116510695090377), and only when they are ready to buy the rental then the customer is redirected to the Carrentals.co.uk site.
