Returning to the show, Which? travel consumer expert Grace Forell highlighted Zest as a trusted way to book car hire and avoid the hidden costs that catch thousands of holidaymakers out each year...
During the segment, Grace discussed the findings of a recent Which? survey, which revealed that one in eight car hire customers ended up paying more than their original quote due to unexpected charges. When explaining how travellers can avoid these surprises, Grace recommended booking through a trusted online broker and gave Zest a fantastic shoutout!
She went on to explain that Zest helps customers compare a wide range of rental options while ensuring fees are clearly included upfront, alongside valuable extras such as 24/7 customer support, breakdown cover and free cancellation.
