June 08, 2012, 3:52 pm -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Europcar, the leader in car hire services in Europe, is helping Londoners escape the crowds flocking to the city for this summer's Olympic Games. Those living and working in the capital can get away for less with up to 40% off car hire from Europcar - the ideal opportunity to swap the city for the country.
Ken McCall, Managing Director, Europcar UK Group, said: "The spotlight is on London this summer, with thousands of people expected to visit the city to cheer on the athletes.
"It's going to be hugely exciting, but for those who would rather get away from the expected congested roads and increased pressure on public transport, we're offering a helping hand with our discount of up to 40% off car hire in the UK."
Londoners also won't have to stress about picking up or dropping off the hire car. Europcar's freeDeliver service delivers the car to their door and collects it at the end of their trip without any additional charge.
All UK bookings, for 2 days or more, benefit from Europcar's unique freeDeliver service, which is available for all customers who live within 15 miles of any of Europcar's 200 locations.
In addition to reducing the cost of car hire by 40%, the deal also includes unlimited mileage and a Damage Liability and Theft Waiver at no additional charge.
Ken McCall concluded: "Summer in the capital is going to enormously exciting, but for those who don’t want to be part of the Olympic experience, up to 40% off car hire will make it more affordable than ever for them to swap the hustle and bustle for a relaxing break in another part of the UK."
