BARCLAYS Bank has renewed its supply contract with Alamo Rent A Car for the fifth year running. Meanwhile, Alamo has opened a new Exeter location to increase its service for the south west.

The new branch, in the grounds of the Exeter Court Hotel off the A38 at Kennford, is already serving a number of corporate clients previously handled by the company's Bristol base and will provide a 'meet and greet' service for Exeter, Plymouth and Newquay airports.

The launch follows the opening of a new Alamo location at Blackpool Airport in March and takes the number of Alamo UK car rental locations to 33.
