Uncategorized | Comparison Car Hire

If you’re planning hiring a car this year you might be in for a bit of a surprise. The average cost to rent a car has increased by 50% in some areas. Generally prices have been reasonable over the years but despite the world being in an economic downturn the cost to hire has generally increased.

Last year saw a shortage of available cars from all the leading companies as they cut back fleet numbers. They predicted that demand would be well down and planned accordingly but got it slightly wrong. Demand outweighed supply so the car hire companies increased their prices.

Two of the most affected areas this year has been Canada and South Africa. The Olympics and World Cup have dramatic effects on the car hire industry, whilst the Olympics has just finished, the Paralympics are just about to start which will keep demand and pricing high. There have been concerns about supply for the World Cup since last year and even with 100 days to go it is becoming more difficult to find the right car at a reasonable price.

With Comparison Car Hire you are in safe hands. We are able to offer one of the largest worldwide car hire networks at the best prices. Just don’t leave it too late!
