AVIS is offering customers travelling to the French Alps on the Eurostar Ski Train a free car-rental deal worth up to £58.
The package, which is aimed at promoting Avis’ partnership with Eurostar, is available for car-rental bookings made from March 4 to April 2 for vehicles to be collected at Moutiers or Bourg St Maurice.
The package comprises a ski rack, snow chains and snow tyres, which usually cost about £11.50 a day to hire, with a maximum five-day charge of £57.50 payable no matter how long the rental period is.
The overnight Eurostar Ski Train operates to both resorts, with departures from Waterloo on a Friday, arriving at Moutiers or Bourg St Maurice early Saturday morning. Departures from France are late on Saturday, arriving in Waterloo on Sunday.
