Heavy Unseasonable Snow Sees Demand for Car Hire Rise in Ski Resorts Says Carrentals.co.uk

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 19, 2009 -- www.Carrentals.co.uk, the leading car hire price comparison website, is advising skiers making for the slopes to book their car hire early this year to avoid disappointment. Unseasonably early heavy snow in the Alps has prompted an early start to the ski season meaning that demand for hire cars is up in popular resorts.

As many resorts in Switzerland, France and Italy open up their slopes and pistes early in order to take advantage of the heavy early snowfall, many ski enthusiasts are taking early trips to the pistes and even taking more than one trip this year.

Gareth Robinson, managing director of www.Carrentals.co.uk, says, “The heavy early snowfall has prompted early opening of slopes in popular countries, which has itself meant increased demand for hire cars. As such we are recommending to ski fans that they book their car hire as early as they can.”

Budget airlines have made trips to ski resorts in the Alps a more convenient and cheaper exercise than ever before, meaning that skiers are able to take more than one holiday this season. With slopes in Austria already open, demand for car hire in ski resorts is subsequently higher.

Gareth Robinson continued, “Bargain flights to top ski resorts has caused a shift in behaviour, and this means increased car hire demand. As such we’re advising early booking to get hold of the right cars at the right prices as well as extras such as snow chains and child seats.”
