Read MoreCar hire prices continue to fall in 2011
Car hire prices are continuing to fall across the world according to the latest Holiday Autos Car Hire Price Index. The average price of hiring a compact car for one week fell to £188 in 2010, compared to £193 in 2010, a drop of 3%.*
Of the destinations surveyed, prices fell fastest in Gibraltar where the cost of one week’s car rental dropped 44% to an average £93. There are also bargains to be had in Madrid, (where prices fell by 35% to £124) and in California, down 25% to £136.
Top five decreases in rental prices in 2011 (compared to 2010)
| Destination | Average Rental Price 11 | Average Rental Price 10 | Decrease % |
| Gibraltar | £93 | £166 | -44.0% |
| Madrid (Spain) | £124 | £192 | -35.4% |
| California | £136 | £182 | -25.3% |
| Northern Ireland | £127 | £155 | -18.1% |
| Malaga (Spain) | £76 | £96 | -20.8% |
Increased competition between suppliers in family-favourite European destinations has contributed to a decrease in rental prices. Aggressive growth plans by suppliers in Italy, Spain and Portugal has also helped to keep prices low in 2011.
Recent civil unrest in Northern Africa, including popular holiday hotspots like Egypt and Morocco, has driven customers back to ‘failsafe’ destinations such as Spain and France where travellers are making the most of the steadily declining prices.
However, there are still some pricing hot spots where a week’s car hire will cost in excess of £300. Switzerland tops the list of most expensive destinations for car hire this year with one week’s rental from Zurich airport costing £447, closely followed by Geneva airport at £363 a week. New Zealand follows closely behind with Christchurch airport at £336 and then France with Nice airport costing £310 for a week.
Top ten most expensive destinations for car rental in 2011
| Pick up destination | Cost of one week’s car hire |
| Zurich airport (Switzerland) | £447 |
| Geneva airport (Switzerland) | £363 |
| Christchurch airport (New Zealand) | £336 |
| Nice airport (France) | £310 |
| Barbados airport | £307 |
| Hobart airport (Tasmania) | £304 |
| London Finchley downtown | £277 |
| Frankfurt airport (Germany) | £276 |
| Wellington airport (New Zealand) | £274 |
| Bordeaux airport (France) | £265 |
Isabelle Ratinaud, Managing Director of Holiday Autos says: “We introduced our Holiday Autos Car Hire Price Index earlier this year and revealed that car hire prices fell for the first time in four years. Our latest report reveals that this trend is still continuing with many destinations proving great value for money.
“With 2012 on the horizon, we expect to see prices in popular European destinations to remain competitive while more long haul destinations such as New Zealand, South Africa and Hawaii will see increases in pricing.
“However, there are plenty of great bargains available for customers who book early and keep their eye out for offers and sales during key times. Popular destinations will always book up fast, so our advice is not to leave booking car hire to the last minute to avoid being disappointed.”
* Prices based on hiring a ‘compact’ category car for seven days through Holiday Autos in November 2011 compared to November 2010.
