The low availability stems from the widespread fleet reductions forced upon car rental companies in the midst of the global travel downturn of 2010 and thru 2012 Last year saw a reluctance by banks to finance new fleet purchases, leaving many operators out of stock after drastic cuts to fleets to survive the economic crisis. There was also a lack of buy backs from garages to leased vehicles that had provided much of the stock. The result is that in 2013, many hire organisations simply do not have the resources to meet demand.

Insurance warning

Be very aware of fraud and cash for crash accidents.

Some usefull steps, you can take to minimise the risk.

1. Never tailgate - Allow plenty of space between you and the car in front.
2. Look beyond the car in front - If you see erratic driving up ahead, slow down and be ready to brake hard, remember you may be the intended victim.
3. Carry a pen and paper - Take note and keep a disposble camera or mobile for taking pictures.

Concentrate on your driving - If you are distracted, by using a mobile phone or other device, this could harm you in any insurance claim.

What to do if you are involved in a suspect  accident

1. Stay calm - Think clearly and as with any accident dont admot liability.
