PARIS, FRANCE, November 12, 2010 (Press-News.org) Europcar, the European leader in passenger car and light utility vehicle rental, has announced the launch of a new, more user-friendly website designed to further enhance the customer reservation experience.
Europcar worked together with London-based Fortune Cookie, Europcar's e-commerce agency since 2008, on developing a website that will correspond to customers' need for simplified booking process and transparent information on Europcar products and offerings.
"This website was designed with the ambition to help users make the right choice quickly in a fresh and engaging brand experience," said Jehan de The, Global Marketing Director of Europcar International.
This improved user-friendly version integrates the latest technological innovations, such as automatically adapting to customers' needs by memorizing previous entries and displaying on the first page only the most frequently used elements.
The website offers a simple and fast three-step booking process with innovative maps and predictive search to help users find their locations easily. When looking for a station, it is enough to type three letters and a list of suggested rental stations appears. In addition, the new website features an interactive Google Map which allows customers to easily locate the nearest Europcar rental station or calculate their itinerary to the arriving point.
Vehicle information is clearly and attractively presented; including extras and flexible pricing options. More information on the car can be obtained by opening a pop-in window, while remaining on the initial page. Extras can be added or deducted up to the last moment before the payment. As car accessories are being selected, the price is automatically calculated and is visible on the same page. Furthermore, customers can now choose their car not only based on price or size, but also based on CO2 emissions reflecting Europcar's commitment to "caring for the Earth".
Once the payment is completed, a location map of the car rental station appears on the payment confirmation page to help the customer plan his/her itinerary to and from the chosen station. This map is also sent to the customer's e-mail address. The rate information can also be sent by e-mail to 1 address.
Customers gain time with every visit on the Europcar website. The new features include an option for the customers to create and update their profile and preferences, to put in the criteria of their Frequent Voyager Card and gain benefits. The research parameters are also saved for seven days, facilitating the customer's next visit. The online renting experience is further enhanced with a car rental FAQ section answering many questions that Europcar customers may have, which guides them during and after the reservation process.
"We believe that renting a car online should be a great experience. To achieve this, we tested our work throughout the process with sophisticated user-testing technologies to ensure that we were creating an experience that would meet their needs," said Justin Cooke, CEO of Fortune Cookie.

New class of 'dancing' dendritic cells derived from blood monocytes
2010-11-11
Dendritic cells, known to be the prime movers of the body's immune response, are still notoriously difficult to study in humans. Samples, which come primarily from bone marrow or lymphoid tissue, are simply too difficult to obtain. But new research at Rockefeller University has shown scientists a way to study "authentic" dendritic cells from mouse monocytes, which are abundant in the blood, a much more accessible source in humans. The discovery, published Oct. 29 in Cell, promises to accelerate research into therapeutic uses of dendritic cells in people, particularly in ...
Depression linked to altered activity of circadian rhythm gene
2010-11-11
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Depression appears to be associated with a molecular-level disturbance in the body's 24-hour clock, new research suggests.
Scientists examined genes that regulate circadian rhythm in people with and without a history of depression. As a group, those with a history of depression had a higher level of activity of the so-called Clock gene, which has a role in regulating circadian rhythm, than did people with no mood disorders.
Higher expression levels of this gene suggest something is amiss in the body's 24-hour biological and behavioral cycle, which ...
