Frankfurt Airport is situated approximately 12 km, or 8 miles from central Frankfurt, and is the largest airport in Germany. It is also one of the largest in the world, handling over 53 million passengers per year. Frankfurt Airport consists of two multi-level terminal buildings, with all the amenities required by arriving and departing passengers, including a wide range of quality car hire companies. One of the car hire companies available at the airport is Europcar. They are well known for offering exceptional car hire services and an excellent choice of vehicles. Many customers arriving at Frankfurt Airport find that renting a car from Europcar provides the ideal solution to their transport needs. Other car hire companies at the airport include Avis, Hertz, Sixt, National, Budget, Alamo and Easycar.
Europcar, at Frankfurt Airport, has rental counters in both terminals of the airport, which can be found in the arrival areas. In Terminal 2, they are located in Halle D on Level 2. While it is possible to hire a vehicle directly from the rental counters, it is most often recommended to make an advanced reservation. This will simply ensure that your ideal vehicle selection is available, and ready for your arrival at Frankfurt Airport. Advanced reservations can be made from Europcar’s website, at www.europcar.com. Their website is comprehensive, easy to understand and displays all the vehicle categories available at this location. There are also pictures of example vehicles in each category, additional information about the vehicles, such as passenger and luggage capacities, as well as plenty of information about the procedures and policies which need to be followed when hiring a vehicle from Europcar. It is also wise to hire any extra equipment which may be needed for your journey in advance, such as a child safety seat or a satellite navigation system. The GPS units offered for hire by most car rental companies are state-of-the-art pieces of equipment, with many features which will enable you to easily find any destination. They also often come pre-programmed with thousands of points of interest, which may include restaurants, hotels, gas stations, tourist attractions, pharmacies, golf courses, businesses etc.
When hiring a vehicle from Europcar, a car category will be selected, rather than a vehicle by its specific make and model. The Mini category contains smaller vehicles such as the Renault Twingo, Fiat 500 and Fiat Panda 1.2. These cars are just right for city driving, and are a good choice for single drivers, couples or small families who don’t have much luggage. They generally seat four people, and are two door vehicles. Another popular car category is the Economy class, as these vehicles are excellent for any type of driving, and are usually very fuel efficient and economically priced. Examples include the VW Polo, Ford Fusion 1.8 and Nissan Micra 1.2. They can accommodate up to five passengers, and still have room for between two and one item of luggage. They are two or four door vehicles. Compact vehicles are of a similar size to those in the Economy category, however, they do have a bit more space for luggage. In this category, customers can hire the Peugeot 308 Auto or the Volkswagen Golf.
Passengers arriving at Frankfurt Airport can hire larger sized vehicles from Europcar’s categories of Intermediate, Standard and Fullsize. The Intermediate category has some nice vehicles such as the Volkswagen Tiguan 4x4, seating five people, the Renault Koleos 4x4 and the Citroen Picasso HDI 110. There is also the Renault Scenic available, which is a great family car, seating five passengers and storing two luggage items. Standard size vehicles include the Renault Laguna, Ford Mondeo 1.8 and VW Passat 2.0 TDI. The Fullsize category at Europcar is ideal for larger families and groups of friends who wish to travel together. The Mercedes Viano in this category seats up to eight people, and the Renault Espace seats up to seven passengers. Other larger sized vehicles from Europcar include the RN Trafic Combi Long 1.9, seating up to nine people, and the Renault Grand Scenic, with space for seven passengers and three luggage items.
Business passengers may require a vehicle that is more elegant and stylish than the ordinary rented car, and therefore Europcar has provided the Premium category for their customers. In this category the Mercedes Classe C Auto and various other similar vehicles can be hired. These vehicles are ideal for presentation purposes at prestigious business functions, or even formal private occasions. Passengers looking for a more exciting holiday rental can even chose from one of Europcar’s many convertibles, such as the BMW 325 Cabriolet, Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 TS and Peugeot 307 Cabriolet.
Perhaps one of the reasons why Europcar is such a popular choice amongst many renters, is the fact that they offer a wide range of environmentally friendly vehicles. They also offer the chance to offset your emissions and help to support the environment. Further information is available on Europcar’s website. Europcar promises to provide their customers with only the latest model vehicles, all inclusive prices, 24-hour emergency roadside assistance and to wait for you if your flight is delayed. Customers who like renting from Europcar can also become a Privilege Card holder, and enjoy priority counter service, faster reservations and collections, and discounts at various hotels in Europe.
