“It’s clear from our survey that people would like more time, with many frustrated by travel delays”, said Ken McCall, managing director, Europcar UK Group.  “And we believe that cutting down the time involved in collecting rental vehicles could play a valuable role.  Europcar’s new ToMyCar service is designed to make hiring a car that little bit faster and easier. Using the latest keyless technology, customers can save time by unlocking their vehicle via their mobile device. With no need to visit the counter and no more keys, travellers are on the road in four simple steps, saving time and stress for the journey.”

The service is being launched first from four key destinations in the UK – London Heathrow, Manchester and Edinburgh airports and the Europcar Mobility Centre at ExCeL London – and in other key European destinations.
