Local
Some agencies only really focus on the local market, within the Manchester area, or Winchester area for example. For these companies, a small agency or local firm is needed.
International
Car rental companies such as Hertz are popular because of the brand.
People know they will get the same product in the US, UK or France; therefore the media message is aimed to create a strong brand. This being said, the agency chosen for international rentals do need to have the resources to support you in other countries and languages.
We recommend comparing quotes from multiple agencies. All agencies set their own fees, therefore PR prices will vary considerably.
