The package, known as 6 advantage offers vehicle hire for a fixed period of six months, but with all the benefits of short-term business car hire, reflecting Europcar's sustained commitment to bring corporate customers services that reflect the changing needs of the marketplace, delivering flexible and cost effective car hire solutions.

Ken McCall (Inset), managing director, Europcar Group UK, said: ‘Currently there is a real gap in the solutions available to fleets when ordering new vehicles. Short-term vehicle hire would not be cost-effective for what can often be as much as 6 months waiting for new vehicle delivery and leasing requires a longer-term commitment from a business that is equally unsuitable. We have therefore created 6 Advantage to fill that gap.’

6 Advantage offers businesses a real alternative to car leasing, thus providing a viable solution for drivers waiting for their new company car or for employees on secondment. The 6 advantage package allows customers to choice their vehicle from a wide range and can order as many vehicles as they may require – all featuring Europcar’s fixed rates.

All 6 Advantage vehicles are brand new, so there's no servicing or MOT needed and all vehicles come with 24 hour breakdown roadside assistance and recovery.

6 Advantage includes delivery and collection and a 12,000 mile contract on each vehicle. Customers also benefit from monthly billing and customised monthly reporting, as required.  With one telephone number and a dedicated team for all queries, vehicle booking is fast and efficient.

‘We understand that our corporate customers need access to a range of car hire solutions designed to offer them flexibility and reduce fleet costs.’ continued McCall.
