Itic highlights in its submission that in 2019, up to 40 per cent of all holidaymakers who arrived in Ireland hired cars, providing them with easy access to the regions outside Dublin.However, it says, car hire companies in Ireland were forced to sell off much of their fleets during periods of Covid restriction, resulting in a 50 per cent reduction in the number of cars now available for hire, pushing up prices.
“Under-resourced car rental companies have to rebuild their capital base and it will take time for car rental companies to build car stocks back up to pre-pandemic levels. It also called for sustainability grants to be extended to tourism businesses to help them cope with the costs of going green.
