CarTrawler signs S. African agency deal
Car hire distribution company CarTrawler has entered South Africa.
The firm has signed a three year partnership with The Club Travel Group, the country’s largest independent travel agency organisation.
The agreement confirms CarTrawler as the major supplier of car rental to Africa’s first online travel portal, which is soon to be launched in South Africa by The Club Group.
By integrating The Club Group’s online portal and its own system, CarTrawler will be supplying dynamic, real-time direct connection to more than 450 car rental suppliers in 134 countries.
The three year deal due to go live in March also confirms CarTrawler as a preferred partner to the Club Group’s traditional business which comprises 20 offices, 64 non branded IATA travel agencies and more than 80 independent travel consultants.
CarTrawler CEO Greg Turley said: “This agreement puts us at the vanguard of a key growth market for travel, and will enable us to once again demonstrate the flexibility of our technology and the real revenues that can be gained by making car rental an obvious choice in the booking process.”
