Affordable to advise agents on new laws over ‘hidden’ car hire costs

Affordable Car Hire is running a webinar throughout December to gear agents up for new transparency rules about ‘hidden’ costs.

The firm is already compliant with the Competition and Marketing Authority rules, which come into effect on January 1 2017.

To help agents to understand the changes, Affordable has created a short presentation.

Affordable Car Hire CEO Angela Day said: “It’s fantastic news that the CMA has been looking into car rental and is requiring full transparency from all global car hire companies and brokers.

“This will stop many car-rental companies mis-selling insurances, inclusions and unknown extras to the consumer.

“I welcome this change with open arms. It is something that has been needed for quite some time.

“Once this transition is complete the agent will have a great deal more faith in selling car rental knowing that their client isn’t hit with any hidden charges.”

Agents can book the webinar in December by calling 0345 9000 420 or emailing agencysales@affordablecarhire.com
