How You Can Save Money on your 2025 Ski Holiday Car Hire
Amazing Deals on Airport Car Rentals in Six Top Ski Resorts
There's nothing quite like that feeling of being poised at the top of a slope surrounded by immense blue skies and a glorious view of the mountains however the cost of a skiing holiday can really add up. By making savings where you can, you can make your next trip to the mountains far more affordable! We can assist you in finding lower prices for your car hire so you have more spending money for when you get to the ski resort.
At Clarify Car Hire we focus on providing tailored car hire. We can offer debit card car hire in a large number of locations as well as car hire with winter tyres or snow chains.
These are our best tips for lowering the cost of your ski holiday car rental
1 Book early - Many people think that if they leave booking their car until the last minute there is more chance of getting a good deal. Sometimes you can get lucky BUT there is also a possibility that cars will be in short supply (which can push the prices up) or indeed actually run out. Larger cars, particularly 7 and 9 seaters, are in particular demand for ski holidays.
With Clarify Car Hire we offer free cancellation up to 48 hours before your pick up time so, if you book early, you have a car reserved but you can also rebook with us if you notice that the price has come down.
2 Compare all your options - You may notice in our examples below that there may be a choice of airports depending on where you are heading. Sometimes an airport a little further away can have cheaper flights or standard rental cost so, on the face of it, seems cheaper. However it is important to factor in all the costs. Do both rentals come with winter tyres or do these need to be added? Will there be a cross border fee? How much more fuel will a longer drive cost you?
As winter tyres are compulsory in the winter season in countries such as Austria, all cars will come fitted with winter tyres and therefore the cost includes them. This is not the case throughout Italy. Using our winter tyres filter you can easily compare your options.
3 Include third party excess insurance through Clarify - Rather than adding the additional insurance at the desk, you can include Optional Excess insurance with your Clarify Car Hire booking. For a week's car hire you may pay less than £30 with Clarify whereas, by opting for the car hire company's cover you could well pay twice, if not three times as much. A huge saving! Our optional insurance can reimburse you for any excess you have to pay and also provides cover for damage to areas such as your wheels, roof, underbody and glass elements. Additional items that can be covered include lost keys and admin fees.
