Carrentals.co.uk, which is a well known car hire comparison site, has just reported sales that are way ahead of their budgeted revenue target by almost 50%. The site went on to say that in the first quarter of 2009, it’s up 30% in year on year revenue.

More than £16m in car rental sales and continued growth in its share of the market has already been achieved by Carrentals.co.uk. All of this has been done in just six years; however, when the site first launched it was a car hire broker site. Then in 2007, a re-launced happened and the site became a car hire comparison site. Ever since the re-launch the site has won many awards including “Best Car Hire Website” Travolution Award in 2008 and the “Best Ski Car Rental” in the 2008 and 2009 Good Ski Guide Oscars.

Managing Director Gareth Robinson said, “Demand for the first quarter has consistently been ahead of target. This success underlines the quality of the service we offer, with our CPA-based comparison model offering a fairer system to suppliers and wider choice and more competitive prices to customers.”

More than 35 different rental providers, as well as 9,000 locations, are what Carrentals.co.uk offers to its visitors. On top of this, the site is also listed in the top ten most visited car hire sites in the Hitwise report.

Mr Robinson went on to say: “Many travel companies are finding trading conditions tough at the moment. Those who are performing well and who will survive are the ones who are focused on offering customers the best choice and prices. We make it easy for visitors to compare rental prices from both leading providers and specialist companies. We keep it simple and user friendly, and we will continue to develop the site to ensure the best possible customer experience.”
