UK tourists use school holidays to get some sunshine as UK winter continues to bite
/EINPresswire.com/ 2 FEBRUARY 2012 - Online car hire price comparison specialist Comparecarhire.co.uk has reported seeing Brits book up car hire in warmer places for the school half term break as the UK continues to ensure a harsh, snowy winter.
The price comparison website has received a jump in bookings for destinations including Portugal, Spain, Greece and Miami this year - in contrast to a year ago when the majority of Brits booked rental deals in the UK and Switzerland for half term.
Andy Hemmington, spokesperson for Comparecarhire.co.uk, commented: "The UK has been going through a harsh winter this year and so we're perhaps not totally surprised to
see so many people booking rental deals in sunnier places. The trick is to compare deals on the web before booking to be sure of good value offers."
"Another handy hint which can help people to get more for their money is to collect your car at a downtown rentals office instead of the airport."
The Comparecarhire.co.uk website is this week able to help UK tourists book half term car hire deals starting at just £3 per day. The site's deals include one week's car hire from Malaga Airport from £3* per day, from £4* per day at Faro, from £9* per day in Crete, and from £14* per day at Miami Airport.
Comparecarhire.co.uk is one of the leading car hire comparison websites in the UK, allowing users to compare car hire prices for over 40 suppliers in 15,000 locations worldwide including Spain, Portugal and Greece, with pick up locations for car hire Malaga deals and car hire Murcia bookings.
