EUROPCAR has launched a new chauffeur service for company executives. The car rental company has joined forces with chauffeur and executive car company Burgundy Global to launch the venture.

Europcar International chief executive officer Dr Michael Kern said: 'The Europcar Chauffeur Service is an integral part of Europcar's global ground transportation service offer. It is the first truly branded global chauffeur service under the umbrella of the Europcar brand.'

The company will offer two core services. The Airport Transfer Service is aimed at executive travellers who want a car waiting for them at the airport or one that will pick them up at home. Its Premier Chauffeur Drive is a more traditional chauffeur service for executives who require a car and driver for the day.

Customers can either book at any Europcar call centre or through the dedicated website www.europcarservice.com. It is available in all major cities worldwide.
