Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, commented, “We’ve seen a recent spike in bookings for collection around London ahead of the Olympic Games, so we are advising people to get their skates on if they want cheap car hire in the UK this summer. Availability and choice are only going to get lower as the Games get closer, so advance booking is the smart move.”
