Regulatory News:
Europcar Mobility Group (Paris:EUCAR) is proud to announce the
extension of its strategic alliances with ECO Rent a Car in India
and Shouqi Car Rental in China for its Europcar® brand.
Europcar Mobility Group is present in more than 140 countries,
with wholly owned subsidiaries, franchisees and a strong network of
alliance partners. The aim is to cover the entire world, serving as
many customers as possible with the same high standards of quality
of service.
Europcar Mobility Group partners with ECO since 2018 and with
Shouqi Car Rental since 2017. ECO Rent a Car is India’s leading
professional car rental since 1974, based in New Delhi. It offers a
5,000+ vehicles fleet across all categories and its services are
spread across another 45 cities in India. Shouqi Car Rental is one
of the leading mobility players in China with a fleet of more than
70,000 vehicles with its network of 79 stations across China.
With COVID-19 vaccination campaigns being currently rolled out,
international travels will soon resume. The Group is therefore
preparing for the market rebound, renewing these two solid
partnerships which will allow the Europcar brand to benefit from
the strong inflow of Indian and Chinese tourists throughout the
world in the years to come.
As a reminder, China has been the largest source market over the
past 10 years, characterized by a rapid and steady double-digit
growth. As an illustration, in 2018, there were around 150 M
outbound trips* from China and Chinese tourists. At the same
period, India represented approximately 25 M of tourists*
travelling abroad each year, with an equivalent pattern of rapid
growth compared to China. India and China are expected to recover
pre-COVID levels of travels before end of 2021.
Rajesh Loomba, ECO Rent a Car’s Managing Director says: “We are
delighted to extend and strengthen our strategic partnership with
Europcar. Our combined strength and expertise have been a perfect
fit with our strategic agenda to bring global standards to India.
We are glad to continue travelling together to serve our customers
with the finest high-quality mobility solutions.”
Yang Jun Wei, Shouqi Car Rental CEO comments: "We are very
pleased to start the fifth year of close cooperation with Europcar.
Since 2017, the two parties have been providing high quality
transportation services with a highly compatible service tenet,
allowing more Chinese customers to experience professional global
car rental services from Europcar, and at the same time providing a
truly "global car rental service, available on one site". In the
future, Shouqi car rental will continue to work with Europcar to
provide professional and convenient global car rental services to
more corporate and direct customers.”
Fabrizio Ruggiero, Europcar Mobility Group Deputy CEO adds:
"Europcar Mobility Group is delighted to have renewed our strategic
alliances with our partners Shouqi in China & ECO in India.
Both these partners have our mutual customers at the heart of their
operations to ensure best in class service excellence within their
countries and also know that their customers will receive a
consistent high service experience throughout our worldwide
network. We look forward to continuing and growing our successful
relationships as we emerge from the global pandemic."
