Europcar will continue to supply the company with rental vehicles, addressing the daily and flexible hire needs of corporate clients and Pendragon’s in-group dealer network. The partnership also enables Pendragon Contracts to meet its longer term ambition of increasing the number of "rental days" and income from this service.

As part of the agreement, Europcar will continue to station a dedicated team at Pendragon’s offices to handle its customer enquiries, delivering a seamless process to Pendragon’s clients and its drivers.

Neal Francis, managing director at Pendragon Contracts, said: 'The long-established relationship we share with Europcar is testament to the fact that the company understands completely the requirements of our motorist customers, and we are confident our collaboration will continue to serve their daily and flexible rental demands effectively.'  

Kevin O’Keeffe, regional sales director at Europcar, said: 'With the largest, youngest, greenest fleet in the UK, we’re delighted to be working with Pendragon Contracts to achieve significant growth in this area.'
