CHICAGO -- Budget International, a subsidiary of Budget Rent a Car,
introduced its Fastbreak expedited rental service to its locations
in the U.K.
London Heathrow was the first airport to get the program, and it
will soon appear at six other British airports: London Gatwick;
London Stansted; Birmingham, England; Edinburgh and Glasgow,
Scotland, and Manchester, England.
Fastbreak will also be available at five downtown locations, one
each in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester, and two in London.
The U.K. isn't the only European country on the Fastbreak
agenda. The program will hit France, Germany, Switzerland, and
Austria in July, and Budget said Fastbreak will be introduced in
the Netherlands, Spain and Ireland later this year.
Fastbreak, which launched in 1998, is up and running at more
than 90 airport locations in the U.S.
