Rhino Car Hire suggests two-week holiday on the rise & Spain offers best value

June 29, 2011 - PRLog -- Latest figures from Rhinocarhire.com indicate the traditional two-week holiday is on the rise and Spain offers the best value for holidaymakers.

The online car hire specialist compared the number of weekly and fortnightly rentals in Spain this July with similar data from 2010. 14-day rentals have risen from 18% to 24%, where as seven-day rentals have dropped from 20% to only 16%, signifying a shift in trend.

Data from Rhinocarhire.com also reveals that Spain is the cheapest destination to hire a car compared to other popular European countries. France is the most expensive with average daily rental prices in July nearly double those in Spain.

Combine these statistics with recent research from the Post Office* which suggests that Spain offers the best value for self-catering holidays, it’s no wonder UK holidaymakers are booking an extended break in Spain this year.

Marketing Manager, Phil Partridge, remarked, “Our figures show that people are taking a longer holiday this summer compared to last year. This could be a return of confidence in the economy or simply proves that after miserable weather in 2010, Brits are no longer prepared to forgo their two-week fix of summer sun!”

Commenting on the price of car hire in Spain, Phil Partridge stated, “Spain has sustained demand which keeps competition strong and prices low. Good news for anyone seeking great value car hire.”

Car hire in Spain starts from £15 per day this July with http://www.Rhinocarhire.com, subject to availability. To book visit www.rhinocarhire.com.

*Research taken from the Post Office; ‘The Self Catering On A Shoestring Report’ which highlighted Spain as offering the best value for money in relation to the cost of food and drink.
