UK expansion for Budget
Budget UK is opening of seven new branches across the country.
The new openings include two airport branches at Humberside and Robin Hood airports, plus five town centre branches in Liverpool, Newcastle, Waterloo, Euston and Bracknell.
The openings are part of a wider expansion programme which has seen Budget grow to a network of 69 rental locations in the UK.
The car rental company is also widening the availability of its mobile website, which enables customers to make bookings on the move, both in the UK and abroad, as well as obtain a quote, submit queries and view or cancel an existing booking.
Currently available to customers using an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, the site will also soon be available across all smartphone devices.
