Travelocity launches car pricing system
Internet giant Travelocity is claiming it will take the guesswork out of rental car pricing through a new service called “Total Pricing for Cars”.
Under the programme, quotes will be certified by the car companies to be within 1% of final rental rates, excluding insurance, damage waiver and refuelling costs.
Rate quotes will include costs such as taxes, fees, surcharges and drop-off charges for daily or weekly rents.
All of Travelocity’s car rental partners will participate in Total Pricing for Cars.
“Anyone who has ever booked a rental car knows the rate you see is rarely, if ever, what you get,” said Michelle Peluso, senior vice president of product strategy and distribution for Travelocity.
“This scheme is something consumers have been wanting since the earliest days of the rental car industry and we are very pleased to be the first full service online retailer to provide this information for our members,” she said.
