Europcar has launched its New Year sale with up to 50%
discount on UK car hire in January 2010. With free delivery on hires of
2 days or more, Europcar is making it easy for customers to enjoy a
quick escape in a hire car for a New Year bargain break or a larger
vehicle for a splurge at the sales, while ensuring it doesn't have to
break the bank.
The RAC Cost of Motoring Index 2009 revealed that many households have downsized the
family car to save costs. Europcar's winter offer means families can have swift and
easy access to a larger vehicle or a prestige car hire just for the time they need
it without the hassle and cost of ownership. And with the cold days and long dark
nights of New Year, they can enjoy peace of mind that the vehicle has been fully
maintained and is covered by 24 hour roadside assistance.
"At the start of the year, money's often too tight to mention," said Catrioner
Lougher, Marketing Director for Europcar UK Group. "Our up to half price deal makes
UK car hire more affordable than ever, enabling
families to get out on the road for less and in comfort, while saving wear and tear
on the family car."
This offer is available across the Europcar fleet at a wide range of locations
including major airports, ideal for families who need a large hire car to Heathrow
Airport to fit
everything in for winter ski or sun break.
This offer is available to those booking by the 31st of January and valid from the
4th of January to the 30th of June although some specific dates may be excluded. The
offer is valid for participating branches only and standard terms and conditions
apply. Further information on the half price car hire offer is available through the Europcar website.END
