Open all hours car hire!

From September 2011 busy travellers will be able to benefit from seven-day opening at more than 60 Europcar locations across the UK, allowing them to pick-up and return hire vehicles on the day that suits them – even if that’s a Sunday! 

“Conventionally, the car hire market comes to a halt for the weekend after 1pm on Saturdays,” explained Ken McCall, Managing Director, Europcar Group UK.  “So customers either have to use an out of hours service or take another day’s hire, which is not always convenient and adds to the cost.  And this is pretty inconvenient for customers who are used to accessing most other consumer and retail services seven days a week.  Therefore we are extending the opening hours of these key locations to make hiring a car even more convenient for our customers.”

The new opening times included 22 airports and 38 city centre branches, as well as 24-hour opening at six major airports.  Europcar’s remaining 128 locations will be open six days a week, 08:00-18:00 Monday to Friday and 08:00-13:00 on Saturdays.  Seven-day openings in these locations will be rolled out to respond to customer demand. www.europcar.co.uk
