BRITAIN’S LOW CO2 CAR AND VAN RENTAL COMPANY ALSO OFFERS ITS CUSTOMERS LOW CALLS
30th July 2008
Europe’s first and only low CO2 vehicle rental company, Green Motion, today confirmed that it is changing the telephone number of its Central Reservations department to a new 03 prefix standard charge rate number – 0333 888 4000 from its existing 0870 number.
Following in the footsteps of the BBC who recently changed their main telephone number, Green Motion’s Founder, Richard Lowden, said ‘the cost of operating an 0870 number has recently increased for the customers with them being charged anything from 6p** per minute from a landline. This amount is increased when calling from mobiles/cell phones. 0870 numbers allow revenue sharing and, at present, aren't included in free or discounted minutes. The new 03 prefix means the customers will only pay standard call charges -03 numbers are not revenue sharing and the cost of a call will be the same as national calls to 01 or 02 numbers.*
Green Motion is the UK’s first national rental company to change its Central Reservations number with multi national players, including Avis, Hertz and Enterprise still operating 087 numbers. Richard Lowden went on to say ‘Green Motion is delighted to have another first in the UK daily rental market with their customers not only being able to enjoy the benefit of hiring low CO2 cars and vans at highly competitive rates but also not being charged a premium to call our Central Reservations department.
Green Motion’s Central Reservations number has been changed from 08700 600 600 to 0333 888 4000.
