In addition, exhibitors and suppliers will be able to hire vans from Europcar\u2019s nationwide network for their trip to ExCeL, benefiting from one-way rentals, as well as delivery and collection, at competitive rates.<\/p>\n

A highly visible Travel Hub on ExCeL\u2019s main boulevard will provide visitors and exhibitors with access to Europcar\u2019s global network while as the sole vehicle rental provider for the venue, Europcar will have unique promotional opportunities on the site, as a sponsor partner for major events.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith over 5 million visitors in 2012, across its 100,000 sqm site, ExCel is London\u2019s biggest venue and as Europe\u2019s largest rental provider, Europcar is the perfect partner,\u201d says Ken McCall, Managing Director, Europcar UK Group ahead of the photocall.\u00a0 \u201cWe are looking forward to working closely with ExCeL to deliver a comprehensive transport and mobility solution, across the entire campus, delivering a premium service for attendees, staff and exhibitors, as well as local residents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
