Car hire brokers have excellent relationships with many small independant car hire companies throughout Europe and are confident that they will be able to secure cars even at short notice.

Places most likely to suffer most from the shortage of hire cars will be popular holiday destinations in Europe especially Spain where car hire companies have cut fleet sizes to reduce operating costs.

I visit Spain every year and hire a small to medium sized car. Last year the cost for 2 weeks was £226, this year the cost for the same car with the same company on the same dates has risen to £872. I have tried other companies and all of the prices are the same. I shall be driving myself down through France, the Spanish economy will suffer because of car hire companies making a quick profit. No doubt they will blame the recession for the fewer customers, and not the ridiculous price increases.

Aspect Car Rental gives customers a chance to drive their dream car – we even throw in a courtesy spam sandwich as a gesture.

Economic downturn have affected many fields. It is true that popular locations and airport car hire companies all expect demand to exceed supply. It is all the result of this economic downturn.

Finding a good deal does not necessary mean you would get a car when you land.
I have booked a car from SixT three week before my holiday only to receive an E-mail a week before it that my booking was cancelled.

We have just been told by our carhire company that a car no longer is available for us to collect from Valencia. As we booked and paid for this in April I find it dreadful that Spanish companys can do this with just four days notice. We have spent hours trying to book another car with no luck at all. Don’t know what we will do as Villa is quite remote, no shops or anything. As we leave on Sunday I feel we may be on the bus if there is even one. I think the tourist trade in Spain will really suffer as I for one will think twice about going again, and we go at least three times a year. Immobilien
