According to a recent survey by the car hire firm Europcar many people in the UK are now choosing to hire cars rather than buy in order to cut expenses during these tough times.
A spokesman for Europcar Ashley Jurberg said that the results of the survey came as no surprise. The survey also showed that many people are opting for getaways closer to home this year than previous years.
Many families looking to cut costs have sold their cars as they are often considered as something which must go first when times are hard. There is also a certain piece of mind with a hire car as you can be sure it undergoes regular safety checks.
Many British people are choosing to holiday in the UK this year. Hiring a car is an affordable way of getting around and is proving a popular choice this summer.
An interesting find to come out of the survey was that twenty seven percent of British people hiring cars in the UK do so because they are unsure whether their own cars will last the journey. Twenty four percent hired cars because their own cars were too small.
Twenty one percent chose car hire as their own vehicle was not working.
