Andy Hemmington of http://www.comparecarhire.co.uk says:
“Breaking down these
costs to popular destinations revealed that holidaymakers could spend nearly 70% more
filling a hire car in Italy than Tenerife. We compiled this list to let them see where
their money is going to go, allowing them to budget accordingly. However, although in
Spain and some surrounding islands you can grab yourself a bargain, all the countries’
prices are similar to the UK cost so travellers aren’t in for a huge shock.”
