Airflights UK issues early booking advice for holiday car hire

Airflights.co.uk, the discount flight specialists, has warned British holidaymakers against making last minute car rental reservations this summer season.

Many travellers have a tendency to book flights first, then hotel accommodation. Car rental and ground transportation details are often vaguely researched but often never booked until days before required. This results in frequent shortages of not just vehicles but extras such as GPS systems and baby seats.

However, last summer’s unexpected rush on hire cars, which left thousands of travellers stranded in popular destinations line Spain. The late influx also led to substantial price increases as rental companies imposed stricter fleet management controls. With signs that the travel industry is slowly showing signs of a recovery the shortages experienced are likely to be seen again this holiday season.

The message to travellers the is simple, book your vehicle well in advance and consider also your parking options – your rental company can give you up to date transport information. Those families searching for larger vehicles are especially encourage to reserve early as 7-seaters and four-by-four models are in high demand.

Airflights specialises in parking, car rental and flights to the popular city and beach locations such as Malaga, Alicante in Spain, Paphos and Larnaca in Cyprus and historically attractive Nice, Gerona, Corfu, Prague and Amsterdam amongst many others. Traditionally British favourites like the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands, Barcelona and Malaga also have a comprehensive of travel options – all available to book online.
