Our Mission Our History Our Shareholder
Our Mission : From car rental company to mobility service provider
Europcar has developed into a global provider of mobility services. The foundation for this evolution consists of partnerships with airlines, railway operators, hotel groups, automobile clubs and road-side assistance services. Europcar thus integrates the business of renting cars within a consistent, global mobility concept.
Europcar also offers its customers a wide spectrum of service solutions in the reservation process. In this area, the Internet has become an increasingly important tool for booking, alongside the telephone or travel agencies' Global Distribution Systems. As a matter of principle, Europcar does not promote any particular reservation channel, but offers the customer the choice of all possible reservation methods to meet their individual needs.
In an increasingly complex world, the personal freedom of each person to set individual priorities - whether in the business or private domain - is becoming more and more important. Europcar has therefore set itself the goal of providing tailored mobility solutions that respond to these individual needs and desires.
Europcar creates flexible driving solutions which fit your individual mobility needs.
