2010-07-01Europcar extends accessibility of services by launching iPhone application compatible with iPad

Europcar enhances its mobile reservation service and launches an Iphone application, especially designed to be also Ipad user friendly. The application is now available at http://itunes.com/app/europcar.

 

 

Europcar, the European leader in passenger car and light utility vehicle rental, makes its customers’ life easier by making the reservation process faster and more dynamic. The application can be downloaded directly from the Apple Store to the iPhone or the iPad.

 

This new application improves the rental experience by making the reservation process smoother thanks to better ergonomics and a better presentation of the cars and the complementary equipment available such as baby seats or GPS. It allows customers to book a car in real-time at the best price available. The confirmation number of the reservation is automatically sent to the customer either by email or by SMS. All promotions and benefits are accessible to Europcar customers via the application. Customers can also follow, modify or cancel their reservation using their iPhone or iPad. It is possible to hire a vehicle from any Europcar stations in the world and to locate the closest station via the application.
