LONDON?(BUSINESS WIRE)?Leading online train ticket retailer thetrainline.com
announces a new service allowing customers to hire cars close to
hundreds of UK train stations via its website. Customers can now combine
the cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness of train travel
with the convenience of a car at their destination.

?Car rental
with rail travel is a natural marriage but has been traditionally
under-served due to the limitations of single supplier offerings.?

This industry first will make train travel an attractive option for many
journeys that may otherwise have been made by car or plane. Within a
dedicated section of thetrainline.com
website, customers enter their destination station and travel dates and
are presented with a wide range of vehicles for hire, starting with the
cheapest available option.

The unique functionality, exclusive to thetrainline.com, finds the
nearest vehicles to the customer?s destination station enabling
convenient pick up. Customers can also pick-up and drop-off cars at
different stations.

?The train is a great way to travel. It?s cost efficient, carbon
friendly and much less stressful than long distance driving ? but many
people do need a car at the other end. We?re confident that business and
leisure travellers alike will find it really useful to be able to
combine train and car ? and consider the train for more of their travel
needs?.

The new car hire service has been developed in partnership with Car
Trawler, giving thetrainline.com customers access to a large database of
car rental suppliers and enabling them to get the cheapest and best
deals available.

Enda O?Toole, VP Account Management at Car Trawler said, ?Car rental
with rail travel is a natural marriage but has been traditionally
under-served due to the limitations of single supplier offerings.
