Europcar and easyJet Extend Partnership

Europcar and low cost airline easyJet have extended their strategic partnership to the end of 2011. The two companies have been partners since 2003 and in that time have served more than 1.7 million joint customers.

Thanks to the partnership, easyJet customers can reserve both their flight and their rental vehicle on the easyJet's website.

easyJet customers also benefit from particularly competitive rates, guaranteed car availability and the latest model vehicles ensuring minimal CO² emissions.

To celebrate the partnership’s extension, customers will benefit even more this summer season as easyJet passengers will receive discounts upon their arrival at the airport or at any one of Europcar’s 2,500 car rental agencies around Europe.

Other benefits include free additional driver and upgrades through online booking. The offers apply to passengers for all easyJet routes and destinations around Europe and the Mediterranean region.

Commenting on the partnership extension, Europcar Groupe Chief Operating Officer Rafael Girona said, “Over the years, Europcar and easyJet have developed a mutually beneficial relationship which has brought demonstrable results and value to customers. By providing complementary services and sharing the same concern for quality service and sustainable development, our partnership contributes to customer loyalty over the long term. We look forward to further developing our relationship and to bringing even more great value and service to consumers and travelers in the years to come.”

In addition to easyJet, Europcar has strategic partnerships with Accor and TUI. It also has a strategic alliance with North American car rental leader Enterprise. In addition to these strategic relationships, Europcar has over 80 international partnership agreements with leading players in the travel industry worldwide.
