Owners of a Samsung Wave Smartphone can now reserve a hire car quickly and easily, thanks to a new exclusive application from Europcar.

The excitement has been building for weeks or even months, you’ve packed days in advance, you’re on your way to the airport to set off on a hard earned holiday and suddenly, you remember you’ve left the cat out or the iron on and your getaway gives way to inescapable stress.

Europcar, the European leader in car rental, and Thalys, the European high-speed rail company operating daily services between France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, are renewing their partnership agreement for three years and jointly developing a range of greener mobility solutions.

Europcar enhances its mobile reservation service and launches an Iphone application, especially designed to be also Ipad user friendly. The application is now available at http://itunes.com/app/europcar.
