Easter is one of the busiest periods of the year when it comes to hiring a car. With most of the schools having 2 weeks holidays it is the first real chance of the year to get away for a break.
There are obviously lots of options at this time of year depending on the weather, if the Great British climate is been good to us then you may consider a ‘Staycation’ and plan a trip within the UK.
If the weather is typical for this time of year then you will most likely be looking top plan something abroad, Tenerife and Cyprus are popular in March / April time as they tend to have all year round sun.
Whether you decide to stay in the UK or travel abroad, Easter Car Hire and family holidays can be a bit of a nightmare to organise, especially when travelling on a budget.
Top Tips For Easter Car Hire
Look Before You Book: Always consider the costs of all aspects of your holiday before booking anything, we see a lot of people that have booked the cheapest flights at a bargain price that means they arrive at 11.30 at night when only one car hire supplier is open and the hire car is quite expensive, compare this to an earlier flight when other suppliers are operating and you may find the car hire is a lot cheaper, and possibly saving you more than the later flights did.
Book In Advance: Leaving car hire until the last minute at anytime of year is quite risky, even more so at busy times like Easter, Bank Holiday Weekends & Christmas. Book well in advance and you will be surprised at the deals you can get.
Pick The Right Car: Family holidays can be stressful enough without having to worry if everybody and their luggage will fit in the car you have selected. Sometimes the first or cheapest option you see may not be the best for what you need, tying this in with booking in advance may mean that you get the car you need at a great price.
Pick The Right Supplier: Again this can be decided on price but as above the cheapest option is not always the best option for you. An example is that the cheapest suppliers tend to be the busiest, so you should expect delays at the airport when collecting your car. If you would rather not wait then choosing a supplier that is slightly more expensive may be for you.
