In close proximity to Heathrow Terminal 5, the new 3.4 acre site on the Perimeter Road opened on 1st April 2008 and is not only anticipated to handle the largest volume of rental transactions but will also be the most innovative rental site in Europe. With a total fleet in the group of 4,500 vehicles and resources to handle up to 190,000 check-ins and check-outs per annum, the new location features a completely new and best in class courtesy coach fleet providing a highly frequent service between all terminals, with a dedicated coach facility for Terminal 5. “This new location has been designed with a total focus on the needs of today’s travellers and offers the capacity for increased traffic from Terminal 5,” confirmed Tom Middleditch, Marketing Manager, National Car Rental. “The result is an industry-leading facility that looks set to reassess the customer’s expectation of the car rental experience.” Significant investment has also been made to ensure the right level of resource is available to support every aspect of the customer experience at the airport with more staff to support check-in and check-out. “We recognise that speed and convenience are of paramount importance to our customers”, concluded Tom Middleditch. “Through the creation of the largest car rental facility in Europe, we can now offer an unsurpassed choice of vehicles and a comfortable and swift transition to and from flights at the busiest international airport in the world.” Ends May 2008 Notes to Editors Booking car rental is easy at www.nationalcar.co.uk.
