Car hire
The popular online car rental broker Hispacar has made some mayor changes to its website and searchengine which helps you to find cheap car hire in more than 5.000 destinations all over the world. Apart from car rentals on the European continent the site will soon be offering car hire in some of the world’s most popular travel destinations, including the USA, Canada or Australia.
Despite the economical crisis the online car rental broker Hispacar has been able to close the year 2008 successfully. Sales figures have more than doubled over the last couple of years as has the number of employees. What is the secret behind this success? Managing director Rudi van der Zalm: “From the very beginning we wanted to offer the best prices for car hire online. Because we negotiate special rates with our suppliers and get volume discounts for the high number of reservations we process every month and the fact, that we only operate online we are able to offer such low prices”. Apart from that it is very simple to book a car online, which in many cases is up to 40% cheaper than in a traditional travel agency.
The management from Hispacar is also very positive about the feature, despite of the negative news in the travel industry. “It is still unclear what impact the crisis will have on the car rental industry, and how many rental vehicles will be available during high season” says Rudi van der Zalm, “that is why we recommend our clients to book a rental car as early as possible in order to avoid unpleasant surprises or increases in the prices”.
