DriveAway Holidays reports that European Car Rental Travel has begun its slow recovery to “normal” as the skies open for planes instead of ash. However, “it will take time” says Chris Hamill, Chief Executive Marketing and Sales.

“There are some amazing stories coming out of UK/Europe”, says Chris. “Many Rental Cars have been returned thousands of kilometers from where they were booked as locals found any method to make it home over the last week or so”. Reports today via the BBC included a man driving his Portuguese rental car the long way to home to Coventry in the UK……….”now it’s up to the rental company to get it back to Portugal which is not a simple task”, says Chris.

As car rental companies scramble to return cars to their appropriate countries, Chris has said that “DriveAway is doing all that it can to assist clients on the ground in Europe as well as clients heading to Europe soon”.

For clients who have to amend flights or who are on delayed flights to UK/Europe agents simply need to call or email DriveAway Holidays and as Chris says the team “will do all that it can to assist”. Call 1300 363 500 or go to www.driveaway.com.au
