(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, August 03, 2017 ) : Car hire has been the most common trend among many people. In U.K., Car rental has benefited significantly from VisitBritain’s campaign to promote destinations outside of the country’s major cities as places which can be missed and must be visited.

It has been analyzed that the United Kingdom might not be the first country that comes to mind for those planning a holiday in Europe, but this is rapidly changing with 2016 showing a boom in international visitors coming to the U.K. The study further also adds that consumers still want to go on holiday abroad, evident from reports of strong bookings in the first half of 2017. However, many will be cutting back on expenses because of the weak Pound. This will likely mean that people will cut back on car hires.
Moreover, the research finds that 2015 and 2016 was a good year for holiday car hire, which is expected to slowdown in growth 2017 and 2018 as consumers rein in their spending.
