iCarhireinsurance.com a major car hire excess insurance and van hire excess insurance company issued a press release on the 23rd January . This very informative news release said ” Over two million people booked a holiday last week according to ABTA and for those planning several breaks with the use of a hire car, iCarhireinsurance , the award-winning car hire insurance broker, recommends that consumers should also purchase an annual policy for excess car hire insurance at the same time which could save up to £400 a year*(enough to pay for a mini winter sun break!). Travellers often feel compelled to buy their car hire excess insurance from the rental company on arrival as they pick up their car, which is usually from £17 a day*, with 83% not realising they could purchase it from another supplier and over two thirds (71%) not knowing that this insurance is significantly more expensive than they could buy elsewhere (YouGov research 2011*).

Sales used to come just after Christmas and in the summer in the retail trade. They now pop up all times of the year and it looks like some bedding and furniture companies in the UK hold sales most of the year! In France, by law you can only hold a sale for so many days in a year. Anyway Holiday Autos have just sent me a flyer say there sale starts in the morning (21st November 2011).
