Europcar is implementing a number of initiatives to ensure its cars and commercial vehicles are available for hire from accessible locations throughout the London Olympics and Paralympics, as well as making pick-up and returns for customers as easy as possible.

Businesses in the capital are going to feel the impact of the Olympic Games, with anticipated road closures and pressures on all transport creating testing conditions.

Europcar is, however, busy behind the scenes, preparing for London 2012 to ensure businesses can keep their people and goods on the move.

“Europcar has the largest car hire network in the UK and the whole team is working to ensure we can keep UK commerce moving during the Olympics and Paralympics this Summer,” said Ken McCall, managing director, Europcar Group UK.

“We are reviewing opening times and fleet availability for all our locations likely to be affected by road closures and diversions during the Games.

“We will also be proactively contacting all our business customers to ensure they know how they can access our services during this time.”
