Europcar,
the UK's leading car hire company, has announced the launch of
its latest product - Airport Connect.
Lugging
heavy bags across town, while worrying about whether train delays
will cause missed flights, isn't the best way for any traveller
to kick-off their holiday of intended rest and relaxation. This
is why Europcar has created Airport Connect to alleviate some
of the stress of travelling to the airport with a convenient and
comfortable car hire
option that helps get holidays off to a flying start.
Airport
Connect customers can simply hire a vehicle from their local Europcar
location, leave it at the airport branch and then take the courtesy
coach directly to the terminal. On the way home, the process simply
works in reverse, so there is
no more struggling with train connections and rushing from A to
B. Furthermore, Airport Connect customers can also transfer between
UK airports.
By
booking a car
hire deal through Europcar's new Airport Connect, travellers
can be sure that they get a vehicle that's large enough to take
all their luggage and family comfortably. Holidaymakers can slip
behind the wheel of their Europcar vehicle and start their trip
the way they mean to go on.
Catriona
Lougher, Marketing Director for Europcar UK Group said, "The
holiday experience begins the moment you set off. Cramming the
family and luggage into a small car or taking heavy bags and excited
children on the train is guaranteed to get a trip off to a bad
start. Airport Connect from Europcar ensures travellers arrive
at the airport relaxed and ready for their holiday."
