Europcar Mobility Group is forming a new strategic alliance with ECO Rent a Car in India. With this partnership, both ECO and Europcar customers will benefit from a consistent high quality service worldwide.

ECO customers will be able to access Europcar’s car rental services directly from ECO’s website and will be able to purchase all-inclusive packages outside of India throughout the Europcar worldwide network. 

In the same way, Europcar customers will have access to ECO’s services through Europcar’s website and will be able to either rent a car, or book a chauffeur service in India.

ECO Rent A Car is India’s leading professional car rental since 1974, based in New Delhi.

Operators say that at present around 25 million tourists from India travel abroad. Around a decade back, eight million Indians were travelling overseas.
