Will there be a shortage of car hire in the USA this Christmas and New Year?
Hi everyone,
Just thought I would give a little heads up for those travelling to the USA this Christmas and New Year. I recently read a very interesting post by usrentacar who specialise in car hire USA. This year all the early indications are pointing to a shortage of car rental availability in major locations like Florida, California and New York. Well, its either a shortage or a major price hike.
But generally speaking when prices rise its due to two things. 1) Lack of vehicles 2) increase in demand.
Well, even thought both reasons intrinsically affect the other here are a couple of reasons why usrentacar.co.uk think prices are set to rise;
- Like everybody car rental suppliers are feeling the pinch, the second hand car market is bottoming out and the actually amount of vehicles on the road is down due to the knock on effects of the Tsunami.
- Suppliers know Christmas will be busy, they also know that the U.S. domestic market will hire a huge amount of vehicles, more than they actually have.

If you are travelling to the USA this Christmas and New Year the advise is to book early, especially if you need a specialist vehicle like a convertible, any SUV and any high occupancy vehicle like a 7, 8, 12 and 15 seater minivan.

1 toilet per aircraft! Read Ryanair’s latest cost cutting plans
Ryanair, the Budget airline that likes nothing better than thinking up new and cunning ways in which to cut costs, which incidentally, usually result in making your journey just a little bit more pants!
Officials from Europe’s biggest airline from want to remove two or three of its lavatories and replace them with up to six extra seats.
Under the plans up to 200 passengers and six crew would be forced to share bathroom facilities during a flight, leading to long queues, or worse, mid-air accidents. The company said ticket prices would fall by about £2 from a typical £40 ticket.
Michael O’Leary, the airline’s controversial chief executive, who is famous for his uncompromising approach to cost-cutting, defended the plans, saying all bathroom facilities were “very rarely” all used.
But critics said they were a “step too far” in its crude bid to cut costs and increase revenues. It is the latest cost-cutting measures announced by the airline.
But dont fear, there are still some genuine bargains out there that dont cut quality. Check out Bargain Villas for some great deals on cheap villa rental

Ryanair bump prices up by 12% and cuts routes!
RYANAIR fares will soar by another 12 PER CENT this year - as it slashes routes in order to combat the sky-high oil price.
Boss Michael O'Leary boasted that his airline would cash in as more passengers compete for fewer seats.
Ryanair expects to run fewer services this winter for the first time in its history so it can save money on jet fuel.
Dozens of new aircraft being delivered by BOEING will simply be "parked up" until March next year.
Mr O'Leary said: "This will help get the fares up." He added "lead in" promotional fares would rise - but insisted: "Supply and demand is the real driver of this. Bookings are stronger because of all the austerity.

Airlines suspend services through Scottish Airspace due to Ash cloud
A number of airlines are choosing not to fly through Scottish airspace on Tuesday:
- British Airways is not operating any flights between London and Scotland until 1400 BST
- KLM cancelled flights to and from Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Newcastle as well as flights from Durham Tees Valley Airport
- EasyJet cancelled flights to and from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Aberdeen between 0500 and 1300 BST
- Ryanair said it has been advised by the Irish Aviation Authority not to operate flights from Glasgow Prestwick, Edinburgh or Aberdeen until at least 1300 BST but believed that "there is no basis for these flight cancellations"
- Flybe cancelled flights to and from Aberdeen and Inverness
- BMI said flights to and from Aberdeen were subject to delay and passengers should check its website, but services in and out of Glasgow and Edinburgh were running normally
- Glasgow-based Loganair has cancelled 36 flights. Only inter-island routes in Orkney are unaffected
- Eastern Airways will not be operating any services in or out of Scottish airspace
Since last year, the CAA has graded ash levels as low, medium or high, and airlines are notified if levels reach medium or high.
All British aircraft can fly in medium-density ash but the airlines need to consider whether to fly, according to risk assessments.
A CAA spokesman said the current cloud could "potentially" cause serious disruption as charts showed the ash density below 35,000ft had reached the highest level at more than 4,000 microgrammes per cubic metre.
But he said procedures were "totally different" compared with last year and although no airlines had applied to fly in high-denisty ash, some had apllied for, and been given, permission to fly in medium ash.
