Bulletin: the euro's more than 7-percent rise from 1.26 dollars to 1.35 in the last two weeks is almost sure to raise rates on dollar-guaranteed rental car rates. I suggest if you are headed for Europe this year that you book now to lock-in current rates. In addition, those holding as-yet-unpaid euro-guaranteed bookings should be aware that the price for their vehicle has increased 7 percent. A 300 euro booking to be paid upon arrival in Europe has gone from $378 to $390 in a very short period of time (plus it will likely incur a 2 to 3-percent foreign transaction charge by their credit card). No one knows what will happen to the dollar from here on, but the last few days demonstrate the wisdom of locking in a dollar-guaranteed price. If rental rates subsequently go down, you can always rebook at the lower price. But if they go up, you're locked-in at the originally-booked price. Get a quote now.
