Passengers travelling from Gatwick and Edinburgh airports are set to benefit from a new fast-track vehicle rental service.

Europcar’s Airside offering gives customers the chance to make a vehicle reservation at their departure airport, with the rental location then automatically contacted to confirm the traveller’s requirements and pre-registration.

The company claims to be providing passengers with a seamless service, allowing them to present their rental agreement at the Europcar depot at their destination and then collect their vehicle.

“Now customers can check in for their car rental before they board the plane, safe in the knowledge that the rental agreement will be pre-printed and the vehicle will be allocated before they even take off,” said David Alexander, the company’s operations director.

“When they arrive at their destination, they just sign the paperwork and drive away.”

Europcar offers car rental from more than 35 UK airports and also operates an airport transfer service, Boomerang, which allows passengers to rent a car from their local Europcar branch, drive it to their departure airport and then pick up the car to drive home when they return.
