Paris, October 24th, 2001 Maporama, European leader in online mapping and geocentric information services, and Europcar, #2 car rental company in Europe, today announce their partnership to provide online maps via Europcar websites. As a result of the agreement, Internet users can now obtain access to Maporamašs maps to a requested location, through the main Europcar website http://www.europcar.com plus also via the local UK and US national websites http://www.europcar.co.uk and http://www.europcaramericas.com.
Maporamašs services are integrated within the route planning facility section of each Europcar site, visitors simply enter their desired destination, along with the location they are travelling from and Maporama will automatically provide a detailed map and accompanying door to door itinerary, from point of origin to the chosen address. Users can also zoom-in to obtain street-level detailed map of their requested destination, while additional geocentric services such as local weather, proximity information to find local facilities, and step by step driving directions are also provided via a single click.
"Our partnership with Europcar demonstrates that Maporamašs online mapping solutions provide an important value-added component to the online service of any internationally recognised company" said Laurent Vermot-Gauchy, Maporama CEO and President. "Maporamašs integration within Europcar websites demonstrates the highly useful functionality of Maporamašs unique geocentric services, for Europcar customers."
"Europcar is delighted to announce the availability of the leading pan-European online mapping service at Europcar websites," said Caroline Verhague-Soudon, Relationship Marketing Manager at Europcaršs international headquarters.
