Using the increasingly popular online comparison model, Carrentals is a website that filters the best deals which it claims can save customers up to 30 per cent on standard car rental prices.
It uses the main rental companies including Europcar, Hertz, Sixt and Alamo along with numerous others. With a Carrentals discount voucher, prices can be even lower; many of these are specific to certain cities or regions.
Like other comparison sites, Carrentals sifts through all the websites, both those belonging to the car rental companies themselves and third parties, to generate the most competitive deals. Often discount codes relate to a specific company listed in quotes by Carrentals.
In its nine years of operation, Carrentals says it has made more than 16 million quotes and served over 350,000 customers. The company does not add anything to the prices quoted by the car hire companies it searches.
The search engine works like an airline interface in that it searches deals by location and departure and return dates. However, many Carrental discount vouchers are only valid for particular periods, while others offer a percentage reduction on the cost of hiring a car. Many of these offers are also good for airport pickups across the globe, which reduces the cost of fly-drive holidays.
