Europcar launches their Latest Deals on the web

Paris, November 12 2003. Europcar is pleased to announce the launch of their Latest Deals on the web. The development of these Latest Deals is part of Europcar strategy to create innovative web products and to promote mobility .

The Europcar Latest Deals are based on a new concept : the e-customer is invited to choose his / her own criteria to search for the best deal: rental car – rental dates or rental location.

The user friendly Latest Deals module has been developed in Flash MX Technology by Europcar International’s web agency NURUN. The e-customer can browse either by vehicle category, rental dates or rental location and check the number of cars still available per vehicle category. Furthermore, this can be done without having to load a new page each time the request is modified. The Rich Media Interface is then connected to Europcar central booking engine where the e-Customer completes its online booking in a totally secured environment and the reservation is confirmed to him / her on screen and via e-mail.

With their Latest Deals, Europcar is offering their best price for selected destinations and vehicles categories to the Web Customers. The latest deals are limited online offers, valid for online pre-paid reservations only.

For the moment, France is the pilot country for these new offers. Latest Deals are only available on www.europcar.com and www.europcar.fr . They will then be extended to other European countries including Belgium, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the UK.

By developing attractive web offers, the objective of Europcar is to increase traffic on Europcar websites as well as boost online prepayment.
