For drivers who love to exercise their vocal chords in the privacy of their car, Europcar, a brand of Europcar Mobility Group, is piloting new technology in the UK to give customers access to special discounts.

The new ‘EuropcarVoice’ is being installed in selected vehicles for a limited period.

Drivers who put their vocal prowess to the test could win up to 40 per cent off their rental.

The state of the art Voice0104 system has been installed into a selection of Europcar rental vehicles, with microphones discreetly fitted around the car so drivers and passengers alike can get in on the action. 

With over 10,000 songs to choose from, this is the perfect chance for renters to belt out a rendition of their favourite tracks.

To get started, customers simply visit a special ‘EuropcarVoice’ page on the Europcar website in the UK.

Once they enter their reservation number, they will automatically be synched with the system in their rental car.

Before setting off on their journey, customers can set up a playlist of their favourite songs to sing where they’ll be automatically awarded points for hitting the notes.

Scores can be tracked on the website and the car’s collective top score from the duration of the rental will earn a discount of up to 40 per cent - the more songs sung, the greater the chance of discount.

And, for those who put on a performance they wish to remember, the Voice0104 system automatically records every song, so a high-quality video can be downloaded and even shared on social media.

The ‘EuropcarVoice’ web page launches at 00.01 on Monday April 1st.
Because it’s a limited pilot it will just be available until midday on the same day.

Gary Smith, managing director, Europcar Mobility Group UK commented: “We’re all partial to singing along to the radio on long journeys.

“Now we’ve made it easy for the whole car to get involved in a good sing-along – and potentially earn discounts.

“We hope this new service offers some in-car entertainment for our customers – there’s no need to feel foolish when singing away in the privacy of your hire car.”
