Pairing flights with car rental bookings is an easy and effective way for airlines to generate instant new revenue from significant car rental commissions, whilst increasing customer satisfaction as a multi-component trip plan is built.

Intuitive, Fast, Reliable

Amadeus Cars Plus is a highly intuitive booking solution, enabling

your customers to make impulsive car reservations with speed and

ease. As well as being simple to use, Amadeus Cars Plus contains

the most comprehensive car rental content, providing real-time

connectivity to an extensive range of car providers - multinational

companies (e.g. Avis, Europcar, Hertz, Sixt), local companies (e.g.

Atesa, Fox Rent a Car) and brokers - offering 36,000+ rental locations

in over 250 countries worldwide.

Sourcing the best car rental offer is made easy thanks to multiple

search parameters: Amadeus Cars Plus incorporates IATA standards

for car location coding, ACRISS standards for vehicle coding, and

geo-coding to search for rental locations on a map display. Coupled

with rich multi-media content (car pictures and features, logos,

maps) and detailed rate, policy and location information, customers

can shop, compare and book their preferred car rental arrangement

with confidence.

Benefits at a glance

> Secure, robust and reliable transaction processor with 99.5%

guaranteed server accessibility.

> New revenue generation: 10-15% typical car booking

commissions.

> Enhanced one-stop shopping experience for your airline

customers.

Multi-channel Solution

Amadeus Cars Plus is also a multi-channel booking solution

using cutting-edge OTA XML technology. Airlines can implement

Amadeus Cars Plus across online and offline platforms, covering

all customer touch points. And with full PNR integration, there are

productivity benefits too: air segment dates and destination can

be automatically carried over to the car search making it faster

for customers to book, the combined air/car PNR is then made

accessible across the servicing flow (CheckMyTrip, e-Retail Manage

My Booking page), and the pooled data can be fed directly into your

back-office for reporting processes.
