NATIONAL Car Rental is adding a mobile phone rental service as an option for UK customers. The country's biggest car rental company decided mobile phones and cars were an essential partnership and has set up a deal with Cellhire.

Phones are now on-hand at major National Car Rental locations including airports and city centre locations for short-term rentals. The service can be booked in advance on 0870 600 6666 for all other branches. All mobiles are fitted with GSM - Global System for Mobiles - which allows the phone to be used in more than 80 countries worldwide.
