Car Hire on holidays

When the holiday we have been waiting for for so long is just around the corner, whether it be in the summer or any other time of the year, we begin to imagine the destination we have chosen and of course we start to plan the details like the type of accommodation we want, whether to hire a car or not, what restaurants to try and which places we want to visit while we are there.

At Centauro Rent a Car we want to help you choose whether to take your own car or it is a better idea to hire a car. For this we have come up with a list with what we believe are the main advantages to hiring a car in summer for your holidays.

Why hire a car on holidays? Advantages of car rental for your holidays.

More and more people choose to leave their car at home and travel free of responsibilities, renting a car when they reach their destination and for the period of time that they need. There are many reasons for this, let us see the main ones.

Try a new experience driving the best vehicles

Enjoying your own car whilst on holidays is one option, but trying the extras of the latest model on the market is also very appealing. One of the advantages of renting a car on your holidays is that you can try out some different models of cars that you may not be able to afford on a day-to-day basis, either because they are too expensive or simply because they are not cost efficient. Now you can unleash your imagination and get behind the wheel of that sports car that you have always dreamed of driving.

Choose the car that is right for you on each occasion

It is not the same to drive a car if you are climbing a mountain road or driving along the seafront. Because of this, and like many destinations in this country and generally around the world, you have a variety of different landscapes and ways to enjoy them, and it is best to rent a car on your holiday depending on the activity that you are going to do and where you are going to drive. If you are planning a day of adventure, a people carrier, if you prefer to go around the city then maybe a smaller, easy to drive car is what you need from our Economy car group. Are you travelling with family or friends and need more space? You can hire a 7-seater or 9-seater minibus.

Enjoy a great range of vehicles

Nowadays there is an extensive variety of offers available to hire a car, it is very unlikely that you reach your destination and cannot make use of a car rental service for your holidays. At Centauro Rent a Car we have a large network of car rental offices in Spain: in addition to Madrid & Barcelona, we also offer car hire at the most popular tourist destinations such as Murcia, Alicante, Torrevieja, Benidorm, Valencia, Sevilla or Malaga, as well as the beautiful islands of Mallorca and Ibiza. Centauro Rent a Car is also the best option if you need to rent a car in Portugal as we have a car waiting for you at the main Portuguese cities such as Oporto, Lisbon & Faro. As you can see a large fleet of vehicles, wherever you go.

Save money by hiring a car

Generally speaking, our car that we have at home we have had for quite some time (the average age of a car in Spain is 12 years) and therefore the fuel consumption is a lot more than the newer models available on the market. Making use of a hybrid car or renting a cheap, cost efficient vehicle is another advantage of hiring a car on your holiday as it allows you to have access to a wide selection of the latest models with state of the art technology, which means that you are not constantly filling the car up with fuel. Something that your wallet will be grateful for.

On the subject of making a saving, another advantage of not using your own car is the significant saving you are making if you wish to travel between the islands. Spain is a country that has a number of very important and very beautiful islands for you to enjoy and even though cars can go on ferries, it is very costly to do so. This is why it works out much cheaper to leave your car at home and hire one when you get on the island, you can also hire a GPS if you like so you can travel around easily.

Forget about adding extra miles to your own car

When we are on holiday, the last thing that we want to worry about are the state of the tyres, the number of kilometres that we are adding up, the type of road or any possible breakdown that could occur. Renting a car in the summer will dismiss all of these concerns. Your car will be safely kept at home while you will be travelling around with a total peace of mind that if a problem does arise you can call at any time to get another car to continue on with your journey.
