EUROPCAR and the Ion Group have teamed up to offer a telephone information service for car hire customers.

The new service, 'Telepathy Personal Assistant' can be bought in 10-minute slots for a daily rate and will enable customers to access information such as route plans and hotel, restaurant and tourist information via a single call. Europcar is piloting the service at Heathrow, Victoria, London City, Glasgow airport and Edinburgh airport with plans to expand across the rest of the UK and Europe.
