Ski Car Hire Must be Booked Early Advises Price Comparator Carrentals.co.uk

Heavy snowfall early in season prompts high demand with comparator saying prices can be had from £15* per day

[UKPRwire, Thu Nov 19 2009] Heavy snow in the Alps sooner than is normal in the season has caused an early start to the 2009 ski season, and car hire price comparison website Carrentals.co.uk is advising skiers to book car hire early to be sure they get the right hire car and price for them.

As a good number of the resorts in popular ski countries like Switzerland, France and Italy open up the slopes sooner than average to profit from the early heavy snowfall, skiers are heading away on ski holidays somewhat earlier than is usual.

Gareth Robinson, managing director of www.carrentals.co.uk, says, “With this year’s snowfall beginning a bit earlier, people are making for the pistes earlier too, and this has caused higher demand for cars in popular resorts.”

With budget and low-cost airlines helping people to find cheaper flights to ski resorts, skiers are even booking multiple trips this year to enjoy the heavy snow. With the slopes in Austria open already, demand is consequently higher.

Gareth Robinson continued, “Cheap flights mean more people which means higher demand for rental cars, so we are advising online comparison of deals and early booking to get the right price as well as add-ons like snow chains and child seats.”
