Carrentals.co.uk Offers Advice to London 2012 Visitors

    SURREY, ENGLAND, October 06, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With the London 2012 Olympics only 10 months away, the UK's leading car hire comparison site Carrentals.co.uk has advised those travelling to London for the Olympic Games to book car hire early to secure the best deal possible.

The highly anticipated London 2012 Olympics is set to be a great spectacle with over 26 sporting games taking place from 27 July to 12 August 2012, followed by the 2012 Paralympic Games from 29 August to 9 September.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: "With the Olympics less than a year away and with visitors looking to make the most of their trip to the UK, the result will be a rising demand for car hire, which in turn will increase prices.

"Booking car hire early can make a substantial difference to the cost of the rental and will provide a better choice on vehicle availability and also any supplementary extras, for example child seats and sat nav. The best advice is to plan ahead and shop around to compare prices to get the best deal."
