EUROPCAR has awarded AA-owned Tyreserve with a national solus deal to supply its tyres.

The deal means Tyreserve will replace all damaged tyres on Europcar's rental fleet of 18,000 vehicles. Europcar's service and defleet manager Martin Holmes said: 'Our main concerns when looking for a tyre supplier are speed and value.'

Tyreserve's general manager David Goodyear added: 'Mobile tyre fitting really comes into its own with rental fleets and we are pleased to announce Europcar as our first major customer in this crucial area of the fleet market.'
