Europcar announced new weDeliver service

The United Kingdom’s premier vehicle hire agency, Europcar has announced its new weDeliver service. Customers can now make a simple phone call and have their rental vehicle dropped off and collected from their front door.

Marketing Director, Catriona Lougher, said that the timing for this type of service was perfect, with household budgets stretched, and with reports that more of us will be staying in the UK for holidays this year, car hire is really coming into its own whether it’s for a bigger, more reliable vehicle for a holiday or to replace a second family car.

She said that although Europcar’s rental services are based on average only 20 minutes from any potential customer, the service takes into account that many still find the logistics of coping with children and luggage difficult. The new service is all part of Europcar’s drive to become the UK’s most consumer focused car hire company giving customers their car, their way.

After a phone booking the vehicle will be delivered to the customer’s address within a two hour agreed time slot from Monday to Saturday morning. The cost of hire will involve a small per-mile charge, but the first 10 miles are free. The service is available from 152 of Europcar’s 197 locations.At the end of 2008, Europcar teamed up with Enterprise Rent a Car, the leading rental firm in the U.S. to create the biggest car rental firm in the world with 1.2 million cars available in approximately 13,000 locations worldwide.
