Cost of car hire up 50% year on year

March 2nd, 2010

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!

Next-gen Cayenne to debut next month

February 25th, 2010

The latest incarnation of the Porsche Cayenne will make it’s world debut at the Geneva motor show in March.

The new car will be more powerful than the mark 1 version yet the fuel consumption is set to increase by 23 percent as the German manufacturers strive to make their family car class leading in efficiency and output.

The impressive frugalness of the Cayenne is mainly down to the lighter materials used to construct the car so it will top out at 196 mph and demonstrate greater agility thanks to this.

There will be a choice of 5 engines starting with the entry level 3.6 V6 petrol but perhaps the most important will be an environmentally friendlier hybrid capable of 34.4 mpg on a combined cycle and Co2 emissions of 193 g/km.

Take a look at our Car Hire options.

Car Hire for the 2010 South Africa World Cup

February 18th, 2010

With the World Cup just 8 months away most people will wanting to make their travel plans for following their home nation. Although, with the draw for the World Cup group stages not until December 4th in Cape Town many fans are holding fire until they know where their team will be playing. This could create a massive surge in bookings for Car Hire, Hotels, and Flights in December. It is rumoured than some prices will be quadruple the normal amount as demand is expected to easily outstrip supply. As an exercise I searched for the best price to book a car for one week in Cape Town from June 9th to June 16th and there are some very cheap deals to be had. For example a car in the compact class I found for under £150. No doubt come December when the bookings start rolling in these prices are likely to climb considerably. With South Africa being so vast and the matches are being played all over the country from Pretoria down to Cape Town. There will be some very long drives, albeit extremely scenic, if you intend on going to many of the diffrent cities holding World Cup games. The other alternative is to take advantage of South Africas budget intenal airlines although budget is unlikely to be the operative word for the World Cup month. Whatever happens South Africa are certain to put on an excellent show in what is an amazing country. In between games there is so much to see throughout the country. After December 4th after the draw has been made we will be listing the best Car Hire deals that we can find. The map below the cities where the matches are scheduled to be played.
