Affordable Car Hire drives bookings with revamped website


Affordable Car Hire has updated its website with new interactive search features. Users can now filter search


results by number of passengers, vehicle transmission type and rental company.


Agents can also view excess and

executive Angela Day said: “The redesign is the result of many months of listening to partners and agents and understanding what features and services they

website is now complete, to ensure all of our agents and partners can visit Affordablecarhire.com regardless of their operating system, users have the option to view both the old and new version


of the website.” affordablecarhire.com
