Europcar Group and easyJet have announced a two year extension to their strategic partnership.
The 13-year partnership means easyJet customers get exclusive rates on rental services including a Lowest Price Guarantee in its 31 destination countries.
To celebrate the extension, easyJet has created a special Europcar livery on four of its aircraft that will fly across Europe. The first of these aircraft was unveiled at London Luton Airport by easyJet CEO, Carolyn McCall and Europcar Group CEO, Caroline Parot.
The news comes as the two firms reveal the results of a new data study which shows a 36% leap in the number of customers hiring a car with Europcar through easyJet in 2016 compared to five years ago.
Carolyn McCall, easyJet chief executive, said: “It’s never been easier to book flights and car hire together and this is clearly demonstrated with more and more people using this service every year.
“We’re really pleased to announce the extension of our partnership which will ensure that we can continue to give our customers the lowest prices on their European car hire in the years to come. We are excited about the future innovations which will make travel easier for our passengers.”
Europcar CEO Caroline Parot added: “By providing complementary services, our partnership contributes to customer loyalty over the long term. In the years to come, we look forward to further improving the value and service delivered to easyJet customers through the release of exciting new innovations addressing more mobility needs.”
