Europcar news

Europcar confirmed today the closing of the acquisition of 100% of the Australian and New Zealand subsidiaries of ECA Car Rental, which operates its “Master Franchise” within the Asia-Pacific region. The acquisition, first announced on April 28, gives Europcar direct operations in markets outside of Europe for the first time and enhanced access to the fast-growing Asia-Pacific market.

Leading car rental provider, Europcar, has won a new contract with Advantage Travel Centres, the biggest central service provider to business and leisure travel agents. The contract further strengthens the relationship between the two companies which goes back more than 10 years. Advantage and Europcar will work together to promote the car rental company as Elite supplier across the Advantage Travel Centre membership base. Europcar will be the only car rental company to carry this unique status.

For the convenience of our customers, all our vehicles are supplied with a full tank of fuel at the start of the rental. Rental rates do not include the cost of fuel unless expressly stated, so a fuel deposit is taken at the start of the rental which is refunded if the car is returned with a full tank.
