The leading low-cost airline in Europe has joined with the leading European car rental company to offer its passengers additional services and even better value.

Mirroring easyJet’s philosophy that the earlier you book, the better the deal, Europcar is rewarding early bookers with higher levels of discount at most destinations. easyJet passengers who pre-book will also be able to benefit from additional special offers and discount throughout the year. And for those passengers who need total rental flexibility, Europcar is offering special deals on arrival at the airport.

easyJet and Europcar are committed to offering customers simplicity in online service and have worked together to develop a booking process that offers real savings in time and effort. Building on this theme, Europcar is offering customers the opportunity to pre-register on the web site and benefit from a priority service on arrival at the Europcar Airport desk

Ray Webster, easyJet CEO, comments: " As Europe's Number one low-cost airline, easyJet is constantly looking for ways of giving the customer the best possible deal. Like easyJet, Europcar has a very strong European brand and a reputation to match. The strength of their network complements ours and will enable us to provide excellent service at all of our destinations."

Marie Barry, Europcar UK Managing Director, says :"easyJet and Europcar are both very focused on giving customers real added-value not only through affordable deals but also by providing them with a hassle-free all-round travel experience." She adds: "The two organisations will grow together, expand our networks and the services we offer."
