SURREY, ENGLAND, August 22, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Car hire at Europe's most popular getaway spots like the French Riviera and the Costa del Sol are still available at bargain prices for the year's final Bank Holiday weekend, according to Carrentals.co.uk. The online experts in car hire price comparison is advising that there are daily rates as low as GBP10 to be had from many of the top rental firms.
Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, comments: "It's been a good year for the car hire companies and right now they are keeping rates on car hire in Menorca, the Alps and the French countryside at very low rates. For anyone heading away for the weekend, there's no reason not to spend GBP10 a day to have your own wheels over the Bank Holiday."
Carrentals.co.uk reports that car hire income figures are higher this year than last but rental firms are not hiking prices as the summer travel season comes to a close. UK travellers can still find great value offers online for three day car hire starting at GBP30 in favourite destinations like the Mediterranean beaches, the Pyrenees or the valleys of Germany.
Gareth Robinson continues: "There might be a decent selection of rental vehicles out there but as the August Bank Holiday draws closer the most popular models at the most popular destinations will most likely get booked up. If you need a certain kind of car or a special add-on like an infant safety seat it's wise to book early to ensure you get what you need."
