A recent survey carried out by the Post Office found that petrol prices in Europe have risen by a third. Countries that have seen the largest increases are Sweden and Austria, with petrol prices rising by 24p and 21p per litre respectively.
Britain’s favourite holiday destination, Spain has seen one of the smallest increases. The cost of petrol in Spain has increased by 16p since 2009 now £1.08 per litre, with diesel following a similar trend, rising by 13p since 2009 to £1 per litre. Despite these increases, on average petrol and diesel prices in Spain are still among the lowest across Europe!
If you need to hire a car in Spain this summer, rental costs have spiralled over the last 18 months. The credit crunch has caused funding problems for Spanish car hire suppliers, meaning smaller fleets and less availability at peak times. We would urge you to book your Spain car hire now!
