Economy Car Hire Ltd urges customers to book early.

Leading online car hire broker, Economy Car Hire Ltd is warning its customers to book car hire well in advance to guarantee price and availability.

Car hire prices in Mainland Spain and Portugal have plummeted to levels not seen in over five years. With fierce competition between car hire brokers, the customer is having some good times. A price rise is likely to happen before the summer begins, backed up by an increase in demand for vehicles at peak times. The message to customers is to book early to guarantee price and availability.

"Book now or be disappointed" is the message from Economy Car Hire Ltd's MD, Rory Sexton who says that a rise in car rental rates is likely before the summer begins. "The Competition between brokers has been very fierce over the winter season which has resulted in lower margins. It is likely that brokers will adjust prices when the demand suddenly steps up in peak summer."

Unfortunately car hire is one of the last things to be booked and as demand increases during peak times, more and more people will be disappointed. If customers are looking to book special vehicles in the summer such as People Movers, Automatics, Jeeps or Convertibles they have no option but to book now to guarantee availability.
