Get affordable Car Hire Italy with Rhino by booking before the summer holidays.

Car hire prices in Italy are expected to be more expensive this summer than last. Those rental companies that did weather the recession have still got fewer vehicles in their fleets than in years gone by. Companies were not able to buy as many new vehicles under the constrictions imposed on them by the global financial crisis.

As all car hire companies work on a supply and demand basis, the lack of supply is sure to force up the price of car hire Italy. The only way to get around this is to prebook.

Rhino car hire Marketing Manager Phil Partridge explains: “Car hire is certainly going to be scarce this summer, especially in the most popular places such as Italy, France, Greece, Spain and Portugal.

“By booking ahead you make sure there is a vehicle waiting at the city or airport where you plan to arrive that has your name on it.

He added: “Rhino can also offer you discounts of up to sixty per cent off the regular price of car hire if you book ahead.

“Give us at least one and a half months notice and you could save yourself a lot of money, money that could be better spent on having a great holiday that paying over the odds for car hire.”

His statement is backed up by a recent survey by the economy car hire website Travelsupermarket which found that prices for car hire across Europe including car hire Milan have risen by two thirds. That means that while last year customers were paying eighty five pounds for a week’s car rental, this rate has rocketed up to one hundred and forty pounds.

But using a car hire company such as Rhino means that you can get the cheapest deals on a range of vehicles in Italy. Cars all come with unlimited mileage, breakdown assistance in case you have any problems and the latest features and benefits. Travelling in Italy during the summer you will want an air conditioned car as it gets pretty hot, while for winter travellers and skiers Rhino can offer 4x4 vehicles with snow tires and winter chains. The ski packages also mean that you can get racks so that all your equipment is easily transportable.

Many of the customers who go to Milan are there on business as this is a thriving industrial city. Therefore Rhino offers luxury and executive cars so that you look the part at meetings. Vehicles can also be ordered with global positioning for your convenience. These optional extras can be booked along with car hire Italy, just remember to do so in advance.
