Website says early snow means increased demand in ski resorts on back of busy summer

8 November 2010 – Early heavy snowfall this year in the resorts of the Alps has got the year’s ski season started early, and this has prompted leading car hire price comparator Carrentals.co.uk to tell travellers to get their ski car hire booked early to avoid being disappointed.

With high levels of snow having already hit the slopes of resorts in the Canadian Rockies and the Alps, leading comparator Carrentals.co.uk has counselled advance ski car hire booking to make sure of getting the car that the tourist wants, like 4x4s and estates.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, comments: “The heavy early snowfall has meant that the ski resorts can open early in the ski season this year, and this means that we have seen higher demand for car rentals. Availability can still be had but we are advising skiers to compare deals early and book ahead to get the best deals for them.”

“With many of the cheap and budget airlines offering cheap flights to leading ski destinations, skiers are booking more than one trip to the pistes this season. Indeed the slopes are already open in Austria this season.“

Current ski deals include rental from £17* per day at Milan Bergamo Airport; from£16* per day at Denver Airport; from £26* per day at Banff Airport; and from £25* per day at Geneva Airport.

Carrentals.co.uk compares car hire deals from brands including Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt. To compare the best ski deals visit www.carrentals.co.uk.

*Prices are based on seven-day rental from 14 December 2010 and are subject to change.
