NEW YORK, New York -- In conjunction with this year's soccer World Cup in Germany, Europe by Car announced today that, for the first time ever, customers can take delivery of and return their tax-free leased Renault vehicles in Berlin, May 1-July 31. Lease customers will have the convenience of picking up and dropping off their Renault vehicles at the centrally located Hotel Adlon in the German capital city for an additional cost of only $275 each way for pick-up and drop-off. For example, a new air-conditioned four-door Renault Clio III 1.4 can be leased for less than $40 per day, based on a 60-day contract. Europe by Car has been a leader for over 50 years in long-term tax-free leasing of automobiles for Americans traveling in Europe.
"Thanks to our close cooperation with Renault, we're the first leasing company to offer the convenience of this Berlin service," said Europe by Car President Alexander Roy. "Berlin is an exciting city in its own right and is also a focal point for World Cup fans. In addition, it's the closest location offered by any car-leasing company for Americans planning to visit other Central and Eastern European countries."
Europe by Car already offers pick-up and delivery service in the World Cup cities of Frankfurt and Munich.
This year, Europe by Car is also introducing the Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan X-Trail in its line-up, as the first company to ever offer tax-free SUVs in a long-term lease plan for Americans traveling in Europe. A 17-day lease starts at $2,139 for the X-Trail (manual transmission) and $2,339 for the Pathfinder (automatic transmission), both equipped with air-conditioning, GPS and economical diesel engines.
"Europe by Car's Tax-Free Tourist long-term lease program of Renault and Peugeot-Citroen autos gives Americans traveling in Europe the peace of mind of driving a brand-new vehicle that is covered by third-party liability and non-deductible collision and theft insurance for up to six months," said Mr. Roy, son of the company founder. For shorter stays, the company offers top rental deals on a variety of cars, minivans and SUVs.
New York-based Europe by Car Inc. was founded in 1954; it offers the largest selection of new tax-free lease vehicles for Americans traveling in Europe, with personalized pick-up and drop-off service in many countries, including France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Under the lease program, customers receive factory-direct new-car delivery, unlimited mileage, and third-party liability and non-deductible collision, theft, and fire insurance. Services include 24/7 English-speaking phone support and 24/7 road-side assistance, as well as a full factory warranty that is valid across Europe on leases of up to six months.
