The holiday booking firm KAYAK has shared locations to rent a car in, with many popular summer holiday destinations featuring in the list.

With many families set to go on a holiday, hiring a car can help them to get to the destinations they are most interested in easily and travel longer distances for less.

Despite the overall cost of motoring rising in recent years, Rachel Mumford, travel expert at KAYAK, suggested that hire car prices are falling.

She advised: "With car hire prices falling, this summer is an ideal time for travellers to explore new horizons behind the wheel, be it the historic streets of Krakow or the sun kissed beaches of Granadilla.

"Using KAYAK, travellers can find affordable flights and budget-friendly car rentals in one place, making it easier and affordable to embark on their next adventure."

According to KAYAK, the destination with the cheapest car rental prices is Krakow, with motorists in the country paying an average of £25 per day.

Visitors to Krakow can use their rental vehicle to easily travel to the medieval Old Town or the Wieliczka Salt Mine, said to be one of the top cultural destinations in Poland.

A number of other popular destinations in Eastern Europe also featured in the company's study, including Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, and Ljubljana in Slovenia.

However, KAYAK also found that plenty of Mediterranean holiday destinations have surprisingly cheap rates for hire cars, with Luqa in Malta being the second cheapest.

Drivers only need to pay an average of £26 per day to rent a vehicle, allowing them to travel to ancient temples in the countryside or discover some of the quieter towns and villages on the island.

Granadilla and Arrecife in the Canary Islands were also found to have incredibly cheap car rental prices, helping holidaymakers find the best coastal views.
