their cars early to avoid disappointment.
Press
Release Body: With heavy snowfall already reported in the Alps,
car hire comparator Carrentals.co.uk is advising customers to
book ski car hire early to secure
the best prices and essential accessories such as snow chains
and child seats.
Many
resorts in Switzerland, Austria and Italy are enjoying prime conditions,
opening early to make the most of the snowfall, with skiers being
attracted to snow levels of up to 130cm in places.
Gareth
Robinson, managing director of Carrentals.co.uk, says:
“With the ski resorts enjoying a fantastic start to the
season, we’ve seen demand for car hire in these areas jump
significantly over the last couple of weeks. There is still availability
but prices for rental can vary significantly between suppliers,
so our advice is to compare the best deals in advance and book
early to secure specific requirements such as snow chains and
baby seats.”
Carrentals.co.uk
compares car hire deals from leading rental companies in over
9,000 locations, including ski destinations such as Lyon, Turin
and Chambery, with prices starting from just £13* per day
at Aspen; £18* per day in Lyon; and £21* per day at
Banff and Geneva.
Gareth
added: "If this level of snow fall continues we are likely
to see a rush in bookings over the next couple of weeks. Leaving
car hire to the last minute,
or, worse, leaving it until you arrive in resort, is likely to
mean you pay a premium to secure the car you need, so book early
and shop around for the best prices."
