Closure of AurigaCrown Causes Rental Car Shortage in Spain Warns Carrentals.co.uk
/EINPresswire.com/5 MARCH 2012 - Holidaymakers planning on renting a car in Spain this coming summer need to be aware that there will be a shortage of rental vehicles due to the collapse of one of the country's leading car hire supply companies.
The warning has been issued ahead of the summer holiday season by leading car hire price comparison site Carrentals.co.uk. The site has reported that following the closure of AurigaCrown, visitors to Spain will this year find that there are up to 18,000 fewer rental cars to go round. This shortfall in stocks will in turn lead to increased prices.
Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, commented: "We are advising people to be sure to book car hire deals for Spain this summer as soon as possible. The collapse of AurigaCrown will regrettably mean that there will simply be fewer cars on offer this year - meaning higher prices all around."
"Users can log on to our site and compare car hire to get the best chance of a great value deal and plenty of choice - we can help people to find the right deal from a small supplier if the larger Spanish providers are out of stock."
Tourists can visit Carrentals.co.uk at present and find Spain deals like one week's rental in Malaga from just £17* a day, £18* a day in Alicante, from £19* a day in Palma and from £21* a day in Ibiza.
Gareth continued: "We understand that most companies which worked with AurigaCrown have now transferred customer bookings to other suppliers - but tourists should still look to get some increased peace of mind. A way to do this is to check the name of the rent a car company on your paperwork and get in touch with them to see what the status of your booking is."
Carrentals.co.uk compares car hire deals from up to 50 rental companies, including Alamo, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt in over 15,000 locations worldwide.
