Winter bargains in Spain…

Our MD Mark had an e-mail recently from one of the largest on-line car rental booking sites. They were promoting winter bargains in Spain although they didn’t say at which destination. The rates in their e-mail were 80 euros a week for a Ford Ka, thats just under £75 per week (at 1.06 euros/£), with no mention of of air-con, free additional driver and no excess. We checked the links to our friends and can easily beat this rate. Visit www.carhirewarehouse.com, go to the ‘More Cars’ page and click on our friends at Economy Car Hire. As an example, rates … Continue Reading

More choice in Majorca…

Going to Majorca this summer? Need a hire car but want to drive ’something different” Want to be seen rather than just sight-seeing? Well, we may have the answer. There is a good choice of unusual cars for rental on the island. How about a Chrysler 300C, variously described as either a Bentley lookalaike or a gangster-mobile. Either way these cars stand out from the crowd. If you are more adventurous possibly a Jeep Wrangler. For the family a choice of 6/7-seaters including the Fiat Multipla, Chrysler Voyager, Dodge Journey, Chevrolet Captiva or Jeep Commander. If your preference is for … Continue Reading

No snow..so lets go..

With the snow melting quickly the idea of some winter sun is very popular. We have had our busiest spell for some time as bookings come in for both Europe and the USA. Florida, California, Normandy, Biarritz, Fuerteventura, the Costa Blanca and Geneva to name just a few. And there has been business for the UK as well including a Ford Mondeo from London to Bristol for an American couple. There are some great bargains at the moment, especially in the States. As well as the car mentioned on a recent post, a Dodge Charger (or similar full-size 4 door car) at Orlando Int’l airport just £311 for … Continue Reading

Florida bargain…

Friends of our MD phoned Mark a couple of days ago. They are going to Orlando in Florida for two weeks in March and want a great deal on a hire car, preferably an intermediate 4 door (Pontiac G6/Chrysler Sebring or similar) with free additional drivers, a tank of fuel and a Sat. Nav. system.  They had already checked all of the  links on www.carhirewarehouse.com and had an impressive rate of only £387 from the enquiry table on the Homepage. But was there anything better? Mark checked some other sources but nothing matched this deal. So two very happy friends booked their … Continue Reading

New web-site is a big hit…

The new www.carhirewarehouse.com web-site was published just before New Year and has been an instant hit. It seems that our vsistors love the opportunity to check a range of reputable car hire suppliers, both rental companies and brokers, without having to leave an established and trusted web-site. Rental companies and brokers obviously love the idea as well and we are in discussions with several more who would like to have their banners and links on our new site. More information shortly. In the meantime people have clearly noted last summers problems with shortages of rental cars and bookings for this summer … Continue Reading

No more unused fuel…

The popular fuel policy in Spain in recent years has been for a car to be supplied with a full tank. This was paid for when collecting the car and the car was returned empty. There were no refunds on any unused fuel. This often menat losing the cost of maybe half a tank of fuel. Well now one of the large Spanish companies, with offices at most major holiday airports and many resorts, has withdrawn that practice and returned to the ‘take it full, return it full’ policy. If you prefer this way then please phone us on 01233 … Continue Reading
