Hidden Costs of Hire Leads to Calls for Reform

 

London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/15/2015 -- A recent survey of 736 Australians found that 57% thought that car hire prices were misleading whilst one in four had disputed additional charges upon returning a vehicle. More than half of participants reported feeling anxious whilst driving a hire vehicle despite only 16% of participants reporting having crashed one in the past. With airlines recently facing reform over the transparency of their fares, there have been calls to apply these reforms to vehicle hire too.

The primary cause for concern seems to be the exact price of insurance before and after the hire has been completed. These calls for change combined with widespread dissatisfaction and angst amongst consumers could lead to reforms in the way that hire companies market their prices and confirm customers. And with the DVLA confirming they will no longer be issuing counterparts to driving licenses, which will have no legal effect as of June 8 this year, there have been concerns over potentially further confusion in the undertaking of vehicle hire.

About Fair Rental
Fair Rental, a hire company specialising in car, van, MPV and mini bus hire in the North East London, Essex and Hertfordshire shared consumer concerns in this area and said, 'We believe that drivers know best when it comes to knowing what they want from a vehicle hire company. Unfortunately, many customers have reported that they before coming to us, they are often pleased with a deal before they are made aware of hidden costs in the transaction which often leads to distrust in the company and an uncomfortable and unpleasing experience. This is why we ensure that we are transparent in our dealings, and retain customer loyalty first and foremost. At Fair Rental, we have incredibly low hire rates, regular special offers publicised for customers and a very comprehensive selection of vehicles to choose from. We believe this is what makes us the best hire company in Woodford.'
