ADVANTAGE RENT-A-CAR EXTENDS ONLINE NETWORK WITH METASEARCH SITES
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (October, 2005). Advantage Rent A Car is pleased to announce partnerships with the three largest online metasearch sites, Sidestep, Mobissimo and Kayak. These travel booking engines search for pricing directly from vendors’ own sites like advantagerentacar.com, insuring the customers the lowest prices available.
“The travel industry continues to experience a tremendous growth in online reservations. Travelers using the Internet to book their travel plans continue to search multiple sites including online agencies and vendor sites. Metasearch is the newest search and pricing model available to online consumers. It provides a viable method to search multiple vendor sites all at the same time.” says J. Monte Ramey, Director of Sales and Marketing, Advantage Rent A Car. “Partnering with these metasearch sites brings simplicity and can save the consumers time, providing options and information they might not have seen otherwise.”
Consumers using these metasearch sites can access not only Advantage’s everyday low pricing but also special web-only and loyalty program deals. The functionality of metasearch sites is improving daily, allowing consumers a variety of methods to search information. For example, searching by vehicle options including a/c, automatic transmission and unlimited miles; searching for one, multiple or all car categories; and use of the smart-buttons to save preferred car type.
