With the economic crisis gripping the world’s travel industry, many companies are being forced to become more innovative and provide better value service than ever before.  In the car hire industry Europcar is the latest, launching free delivery and collection for car and van hirers.

Europcar, one of the UK’s major players in the car rental industry, will deliver and pick up the rental vehicle from the customers home or office within two hours.

The free delivery service is aimed to make car hire more convenient and will be available for people who hire cars for over two days.

Unlike previously, where customers had to collect and drop off the rented car at a rental outlet or a designated parking spot, customers Europcar will deliver the car to the customer and pick it up from the same location.

The service is provided free for areas within the first ten miles with a per-mile charge applied thereafter, and is provided at 152 locations across the UK.

“The timing for this couldn’t be better,” said Catriona Lougher, Spokeswoman for Europcar.  “We know our customers want convenience, value and a simple, no nonsense car hire service. 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.”
