In Holiday Autos first year of trading they turned over 1 million pounds in the UK alone. After this initially success holiday autos launched one of the fastest and largest expansion programmes the travel industry has ever seen. This was the start of holiday autos becoming Europe’s number one low cost car hire company.
Virtually once a year after their launch Holiday Autos began opening new head quarters buildings in each new country that they started trading from. Eventually in 1999 Holiday Autos realised that they needed to become part of the boom which was happening through the advent of the Internet. They started a website and began offering online booking of hire cars. The internet platform vastly reduced their overhead fees and meant they could integrate the entire Holiday Autos European business.
Holiday Autos have recently made several unique changes to the way their website operates; They launched an interactive favourite drives software which captures and shows others holiday makers favourite routes taking in all the points of interest and stunning scenery. This proved so popular that they won a tourism award and were globally recognised as the inventors of this new tool.
In 2007 added pressure from green groups meant that Holiday autos took a greener stance on the way they conducted business. Driving and in particular vehicles with larger engines has been directly linked to increases of green house gasses. Holiday Autos launched a range of hybrid vehicles and an in house “Carbonwise” scheme.
Hybrid vehicles combine conventional combustion engines with electric direct drive. This means that not only will you hire car pollute less but it will actually cost less to drive. The electric motors run on batteries which are charged whilst you drive using the conventional combustion engine. Then in towns and cities in particular when you are stopping and starting lots in heavy traffic the electric motors can be used to power the car. This all happens with out you noticing a thing a sophisticated in built computer decided where to draw power from and all you have to do is concentrate on driving.
Their Carbonwise scheme also allows you to contribute a small amount of money at the booking process which is then donated to carbon reducing schemes, your money may go towards planting trees for instance, all of which helps to reduce the level of green house gasses trapped inside our atmosphere.
In 2008 Holiday Auto again began to broaden the services they offer to the public. They started a chauffeur driven scheme in some countries especially in places where driving can be trickier than we are used to in the UK. Holiday Autos also branched out into van hire making moving house or transporting large goods possible without having to employ somebody else. Holiday Autos also incorporated the best route planning software available on to their website; customers can now plan their entire trip through Holiday Autos website.
Holiday Autos constant dedication to customer service and forwarding the car hire industry has meant they were awarded Best Online Car Hire Website by Which? Magazine.
