Cars made easy

Everyone talks about content - and so do we. But however important content is, you want to be able to get to it, package it, sell it... easily and fast which will help you differentiate from your competition.

Discover the real potential of car rental with Amadeus Cars Easy Shopper and stay a step ahead of your competitors. Booking Cars has never been easier or more profitable and can stretch the gap between you and the competition.

At your fingertips

To date, it was more difficult for the small, independent agencies to offer their travellers the choice and value in car rental they expected, without losing time over complex booking procedures. But now there is Amadeus Cars Easy Shopper, specially designed for the leisure market with access to the prepaid rates... It makes booking car rental easy and fast, with 'fully inclusive' rates - in other words, your customers can be sure of getting the best car rental prices available with no hidden extras.

Intuitive and logical

Booking car rental has never been easier. Cars Easy Shopper is quick to learn and easy to use, your agents don't need extra training. The process is logical and simple and you use an intuitive graphical user interface, and with a streamlined booking workflow you will soon see significant productivity improvements. You save time, money and energy and no longer need to phone call centres or search the web for the best prepaid rates.

Best rates at first sight - and total confidence

It's what you've been asking for: a wide range of car-rental providers on one display and immediate access to pre-paid rates. You can compare prices easily at the moment of sale and relax in the knowledge that the rates are guaranteed by the providers. Not only do you save time this way, but you'll certainly impress your customers with your agents' speedy service and the most attractive rates.

Smarter and faster

While the intuitive graphical user interface guides you through the real-time availability of multi-provider content, the clear and well-structured search display information doesn't waste your time either: it gives you just what you need - only the key information. You no longer have to wait on the phone or browse the internet for better deals because with Amadeus Cars Easy Shopper you get exactly what you see: fully inclusive, guaranteed best rates - no hidden extras anywhere.

Commissions - more and sooner

Even before your customers collect their cars, you'll have collected your commission. When travel agents use Amadeus Cars Easy Shopper, they are guaranteed to receive commission in advance as it is prepaid. Therefore the customer will not be a no-show! Selling car rental becomes so easy that commissions from this non-air product improve dramatically and become a very welcome and important part of an agency's revenues.
