LONDON, ENGLAND, February 10, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Car hire prices fluctuate throughout the year and it is often difficult to second guess what prices will do. Whilst the overwhelming advice to customers is to book early to get the best rates, many choose to wait until the last minute in hope of a better deal. A recent study by Rhinocarhire.com showed that a staggering 34% of all its rentals for Malaga airport car hire were booked with less than 7 days notice.
Being one of the most popular summer destinations and a victim of the 2009 car hire shortage, demand for car hire Malaga is at its peak in the summer months making advance booking essential, yet only 8% of customers book more than 3 months in advance and a modest 18% book more than 4 weeks, but less than 3 months before they travel.
The recent study aims to highlight to its customers that with increased demand for short notice reservations, prices will inevitably be higher as stock is secured. Taking the risk that prices will be lower for last minute bookings could leave you paying considerably more for your rental or even worse being left with no car at all.
Marketing Manager, Phil Partridge, commented, "Malaga car hire rates vary according to seasonal demand and can rise considerably the closer to the time of booking. We have always recommended that our customers book as early as possible and our recent study shows that a huge proportion still take the risk and leave it until the last minute. Only a quarter of all bookings are made with more than 4 weeks' notice."
