Pressbox (Press Release) - Leading price comparison website secures recommendation for great car rental deals

6th April 2009 � Fresh from winning the title of best car hire price comparison website and ranking high up in The Independent newspaper�s 50 Best Travel Websites, Carrentals.co.uk has received further endorsement from Martin Lewis, resident consumer deals expert on GMTV �Deals of the Week�.

Martin Lewis is the founder of Moneysavingexpert.com, a website which finds shoppers the best value deals and offers around. In the weekly slot, Martin and show anchor Lorraine Kelly tell shoppers the best places to go to make great savings.

The most recent �Deals of the Week� segment told tourists the places to find great value summer holiday car hire. Martin Lewis, telling people that Carrentals.co.uk is the website to go to for cheap car hire, said, �There�s lots of availability and low prices. Let me give you an example of how cheap car hire is. Malaga Airport to Marbella, a taxi is 50 or 60 quid each way. Car hire, less than �10 a day. So you could get a week�s car hire for 70 quid compared to a return taxi for 100 quid.�

Managing director of Carrentals.co.uk, Gareth Robinson, said, �It�s a great testimony to our work that Martin Lewis has now endorsed us as the place to get cheap car hire too. It justifies the approach we take in advising people to reserve car hire before travelling to get the best value deals from top car hire suppliers. Martin�s example of a week�s car hire in Marbella being far cheaper than a return cab to the airport is precisely the type of deal we get for people.�

Martin Lewis concluded, �So summer holiday car hire, get it right now but you need to do it the right way.�
