Following Alistair Darling’s statement today, confirming no significant increase on Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) until 2010 and a reduction in the maximum duty increase, Europcar UK Group, the UK’s leading vehicle rental organisation, supports the decision to ease the strain on motorists in an already difficult economic climate. The latest survey conducted by You Gov Plc for Europcar reveals that 54% of households have one car, but it’s the 37% of households with two cars that have felt the bigger impact of recent cost increases.
