Cheap Car Hire Murcia Airport Deals

A recent survey by a leading car hire company has shown that over 33% of car hire customers intend to spend their Christmas overseas with loved ones. 30% of those travelling abroad said they would be hiring a car while 8% said that they had saved holidays throughout the year so they could have a prolonged Christmas break.

Geneva was voted the most popular Christmas destination with many people looking forward to getting in some skiing over the Christmas holidays. Others preferred to leave the cold behind and opt for short haul sunny destinations such as Majorca, Murcia, Alicante, Malaga, Faro and Seville.

The survey showed that many car hire customers are booking their rental cars earlier this year in order to grab the best deal possible. Customers don’t want to be searching for a hire car at the last minute as this can prove costly during peak periods and also you may not be able to get the car type you want.

Petrol prices are proving a real pain in the neck for drivers during these tough economic times. Drivers want some value for their money. Lots of things can increase your fuel usage including windscreen wipers, car radios, air conditioning and heating but of course these things can’t be avoided for the most part.

Here are a few fuel saving tips which you may find useful for your Murcia Airport car hire.

Don’t accelerate too quickly – It is easier on fuel if you accelerate gradually. Not ideal if you are in a hurry but worth keeping in mind.

Don’t drive too fast – You will use twice as much fuel at a steady 70mph as you would at a steady 40mph. It is recommended to travel between 40 and 60mph to get the best value from your fuel.

Change gears at the right time – As I’m sure you know the correct time to change gears is when the speed you are travelling can be held in the next gear without changing the accelerator pressure. If you are changing gears and hear a loud surging sound from your engine this means you are not being as fuel efficient as you could be.

Correct use of brakes – Try to look ahead and know as soon as possible when you will need to brake. Simply easing off the accelerator rather than having to break suddenly will save fuel.

Avoid traffic – Do your best to avoid traffic. Stop start traffic can be tough on fuel costs. Try to plan ahead and find routes with as little traffic as possible.
