From Automatic Car Hire
The UK has ground to a halt with exceptional weather set to continue for the rest of the week. Automatic Car Hire searches multiple suppliers who all have helplines should you have difficulty picking up your rental car. Even if your flight has been cancelled or driving conditions are impossible you can certainly cancel or delay your rental car.
Please check the terms and conditions of each supplier before booking to ensure you are happy with your choice for your circumstances. All cars on the website are fully inclusive and there is additional zero excess insurance available through Insurance4carhire should you wish to take it up.
In adverse weather conditions travel should be restricted to only essential journeys. Automatic car hire thinks it may be best to wrap up warm at home until the spell passes. Unfortunately we all want to escape to the sun when we are reminded of Blighty’s climate. There may be vineyards in the south of England now but we can still have Arctic blasts now and then.
What is puzzling is the way the UK has virtually closed down with schools closed, the London Underground grinding to minimum operations and Victoria station closed. I remember vast fleets of gritters stocked in council yards – where are they now? The closures and cancellations may be based on health and safety which is fine but the cost to an already fragile economy is greater. One prominent travel journalist put the cost to airlines for the cancellations and delays at 10 million pounds sterling. A large proportion of that with British Airways who cancelled most flights right up until 5pm.
More is on the way though so surely now is the time to make sure our world does not grind to a halt with a blast of winter. Check out the weather in advance and make sure you take care in the conditions ahead.
