EUROPCAR HAS JOINED AVIS, Hertz and Sixt in Galileo's car rental e-voucher programme. The pre-paid vouchers, which can cover all or part of the rental cost, can be used anywhere outside the Americas.
Travellers do not need to produce any proof of deposit or payment, and agents save the time spent writing out rental vouchers and faxing payment details.
Galileo says the e-vouchers are proving "particularly popular" with business travellers, with up to 90 per cent of Galileo-connected business travel agencies using the system.
Galileo parent Travelport has also launched its Rapid Reprice system in the UK and Ireland. The system automatically searches old and new fares, rules and itineraries, and generates a new, accurate price for the re-issued tickets.
