Travellers To US Can Enjoy Low Car Rental Prices

Carrentals has announced that due to an early arriving Easter and varying school holiday schedule, car hire prices are at an unprecedented low. But the price comparator firm also claims that demand for care rental in the United States is rapidly rising thanks to the weak American dollar and the travellers cashing in on it. After comparing forty-five leading care hire companies, Carrentals.co.uk has found a trend in Easter bookings. Over the last few years more travellers have gone to the United States, visiting places such as New York, Boston, and Orlando. These bookings have increased by

x% and this year’s strong exchange rate against the dollar and cheap trans-Atlantic flights has seen vacationers heading overseas for the Easter holiday. This trend is causing less people to hire cars during the Easter holiday, helping the prices stay down.

"The dates of Easter have thrown the traditional school holidays out of sync this year," claims Carrentals.co.uk marketing director Gareth Robinson. "As a result holidays tend to be spread out more evenly, helping keep prices down. However, for any customers heading to the US, we would recommend booking car hire quickly. Demand across the top locations has been very strong as people are attracted by the value for money a trans-Atlantic trip offers." Carrentals.co.uk has also identified non-American destinations that are just as popular this year. Other getaways this Easter include the Canary Islands, the Swiss Alps, southern Spain, and Portugal. Car hire prices for a one week rental are starting at £13.00* per day at Tenerife Airport North in Spain, £18.00* per day at New York’s JFK, and £12.00* per day out of Orlando Airport.
