Online retail drives Eurocar demand
Europcar has announced a 72% year-on-year increase in vehicle rental days last year, partly driven by growing demand for Europcar Van & Truck vehicles from the online retail sector.
The average length of rental hire also increasing by 50%.
Stuart Russell, LCV sales director at Europcar Van & Truck said: “Almost every type of UK business had to adapt quickly last year with the demand for home deliveries going through the roof. Through strong relationships with manufacturers we were able to mobilise large numbers of vehicles in the space of less than two months at the start of the pandemic and the first lockdown. As a result, we were able to provide more businesses with the vehicles they needed – often quickly and at short notice.”
