Time is Right to Fit Winter Tyres to Cars Say Comparator Carrentals.co.ukBrits considering snow accessories should think ahead reports award-winning car hire website
By: Helen Young Oct. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- This year's UK winter looks set to be another cold and snowy one and has prompted Internet-based car hire specialist Carrentals.co.uk to issue a warning to British drivers. The website, which sources its users bargain car hire deals in over 15,000 places around the world, is telling people that they may need to fit snow tyres to their cars at home as well as abroad this year.
The previous UK winter saw lots of snow on the country's roads and prompted many motorists to add winter tyres to their cars - something which led even big suppliers such as Kwik Fit to run out of stock. Drivers in the UK who are contemplating using winter tyres on their cars to cope with snowy weather this winter need to plan ahead to be sure of availability, warns the award-winning rentals comparison site. If travelling abroad to a ski resort Carrentals.co.uk also advises drivers to think early and plan ahead. The majority of rental providers do not count snow chains and winter tyres as standard rental items but as optional extras - meaning that they can run out of stock at peak times of year. Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “More and more people each year have begun to use winter tyres on their cars in the UK and not just when in Europe - but there's no clear law about which countries require them so the situation can be confusing." “Our advice to people is to plan ahead this year - fit snow tyres early in the UK to avoid missing out and if going overseas reserve a ‘snow pack’ with a rental provider.” Carrentals.co.uk is the leading hire car comparison site comparing cheap car hire deals from up to 50 rental companies, including Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt, in over 15,000 locations worldwide including locations across Europe including car hire in Frankfurt and car hire in Berlin.
