Amadeus Cars comprises of a wide range of online solutions that allow airlines maximum flexibility when offering car rental to their customers, and which can be adapted to match the airline websites’ look and feel. The airline is able to integrate the car rental services at different stages of the booking process: from the moment the travel buyer enters the carrier’s website, through the various steps of the ticket purchase and up to the post-flight sales. Amadeus Cars provides access to real-time rates and availability from 33 providers with over 37,000 locations worldwide.

Car rental companies, in turn, can increase their reach through the airline websites which could lead to a substantial customer growth.

Peter Altmann, Head of Amadeus Cars said: “The fact that four major airlines have chosen Amadeus Cars to implement rental car booking on their websites reinforces our position as market leader, and shows that the Amadeus solution responds to the carriers’ need to differentiate their offer and to generate new revenue in an environment of tight margins”.
