Leading hire website Carrentals.co.uk advises contacting hire company for
information on cancellations and pick up delays
16 April 2010 – With the Icelandic volcanic ashcontinuing to make life
difficult for travellers and leave them stranded and unable to pick up
rental cars, leading car hire website Carrentals.co.uk is advising them to
call hire companies for help with cancellations and pick up delays.
Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “With no
formal news in place about when the situation in Iceland might improve,
many people are finding that they can be stranded on holiday and not able
to pick up their rental car and get to their resorts.”
“We’ve heard from lots of people about the problems they’re having so
we’re recommending that they call up their hire provider to find out the
latest information about cancellations and delayed pick up policies.”
As things show sign of improving with the volcanic ash outpouring in
Iceland, tourists and holidaymakers overseas are likely to go on having
problems with their car rentals.
Dinesh Kanji, Business Development Manager of Auto Europe UK, said: “Our
call centre staff have reported a lot of people calling up to find out what
the latest news is about Iceland how it affects them, and as such we are
giving out free cancellations on bookings which are affected by ash and
cancelled flights. In addition we are also helping people with lowered
rates on extended rentals caused by the volcano situation.
Carrentals.co.uk compares car hire deals from up to 50 rental companies,
including Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, easyCar, Holiday Autos and Sixt, in
over 9,000 locations worldwide.
