Car hire firm Europcar has launched a new fast-track service for business drivers that “recognises the time pressures that so many business travellers are under when they arrive at a car hire location”.

Customers wishing to use the free eReady service will need to book 48 hours before the rental and pay online.

A dedicated counter at the car hire location will allow business travellers to jump the queue and get on their way quickly, according to Europcar.

Managing director Ken McCall said: “We know that business travel can be stressful and as such we aim to offer practical, seamless and efficient solutions to keep business drivers on the move.

“Once a booking is confirmed on eReady, all a customer has to do is show the relevant credit card and their driving licence for a quick and easy pick-up.

“It’s another example of our focus on giving business customers better value from our car-hire solutions.”
