Hiring a car over the May half term bank holiday?

This weekend's bank holiday weather does not look too exciting in the London area. Are you planning a trip to a warmer climate and hiring a car?

Although the tempertatures in a destination like Monaco are not much higher than in London, it looks like the sun will be out. 

Mind you it might be rather expensive visiting Monaco this weekend. The F1 Monaco Grand Prix is being held and heading off to another hot destination might be a better idea.

From personal experience the Historic Monaco Grand Prix that is held every other year costs about 10 per cent of what you would spend on a F1 ticket. The next one will be in May 2014.

So if you are heading off to the sun and have not booked your car hire yet pay a visit to our car hire page at the insurance4carrental.com site HERE. Car hire brokers like Holiday Autos , Economy Car Hire , Rental Cars and Carrentals the comparisson site,.Incidentally if you are staying at home needing to hire a van Holiday Autos offer this service as well and also Motorhome Hire.
