27 January 2009 – Carrentals.co.uk, the leading online car hire comparator, has announced the introduction of a new affiliate programme which offers commission levels of 5% and a market leading sales conversion rate of 4%. The scheme will help UK businesses generate new profitable revenue streams.
Awarded the Best Car Hire Website at the 2008 Travolution awards, Carrentals.co.uk is building on this success to introduce its new affiliate programme. The scheme will feature great deals from leading car rental providers including Holiday Autos, Thrifty and AutoEurope.
Gareth Robinson, managing director of Carrentals.co.uk, comments, “We’re pleased to launch our new affiliate programme, which will permit UK companies access to the great deals we can offer from around 50 leading car hire suppliers. The programme provides affiliates with a top commission rate of 5% and a sales conversion rate of 4% – around three times that of our nearest competitors.”
The programme is simple to implement and operate, affiliates just adding a Carrentals.co.uk banner to their website. Reservations are carried out through the Carrentals car hire website and the scheme delivers in-depth tracking and reporting elements.
Gareth Robinson went on, “We’ve designed the scheme to be easy to use and affiliates will benefit from our existing partnerships with market leading brands like Sixt and EasyCar. We are confident that the scheme will grow to be the best car hire affiliate scheme available.”
The programme will be run on the Webgains network and will be managed by award winning affiliate management agency, Arctic Sunrise.
Keith Budden of Arctic Sunrise comments, “It’s a pleasure to be a part of the launch of this new Carrentals.co.uk affiliate scheme. We believe that it is a first rate scheme with all the tools in place for ‘super’ affiliates. Companies will be able to leverage the excellent Carrentals.co.uk brand to generate new revenues.”
