European low-cost carrier Volotea has confirmed it has entered into a multi-year car rental partnership with CarTrawler.

The arrangement means travellers using the services of the air carrier will benefit from exclusive arrangements with the car rental company.

Volotea said domestic and international passengers travelling to and from nine European countries using Volotea’s services, can receive preferential car-rental facilities from CarTrawler.

Customers flying in or out of Italy, France, Spain, Czech Republic, Croatia, Germany, Greece and Portugal can make use of the terrestrial service.

The arrangement will offer a comprehensive choice of car rental suppliers, rental locations and prices for Volotea customers.

Alfons Claver, Volotea’s institutional relations manager, said: “At Volotea we recognise the importance of delivering our customers the best possible service at the lowest possible price.

“CarTrawler has an important role to play in helping us to keep our services competitive. They have the scale and expertise required to maximise the revenue potential of car rental for our airline.

“They understand our passengers’ needs and deliver a product that is tailored to their needs.”
