November 20, 2019
PHOENIX, Dec. 10, 2019 — Verra Mobility (NASDAQ: VRRM), a global leader in smart transportation, today announced the signing of the agreement to launch electronic toll payment for Rent A Car customers in France. Currently, France has the most toll roads in Europe with 90 toll roads – all of which require payment in cash, by credit card or with an electronic transponder in a dedicated lane. Rental car customers are required to wait in toll lanes, paying by cash or credit card – Verra Mobility’s service will enable electronic toll payments and expedite the travel experience.
“Our toll management technology and services will support Rent A Car by offering a revolutionary product in Europe and provide a seamless and efficient solution to their renters,” said David Roberts, CEO, Verra Mobility. “We are excited about our partnership with Rent A Car as a critical next step in our European expansion strategy.”
This tolling program with Rent A Car will enable rental car customers to use the dedicated electronic Liber-T lanes providing a faster and more convenient driving experience without the hassle of waiting and stopping to pay tolls.
“Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re continually looking to provide better service and convenience,” said Anne-Catherine Péchinot, CEO, Rent A Car. “We are pleased to be able to test the effectiveness of Verra Mobility’s embedded tolling solutions in our vehicles, with the prospect of offering this new option to our customers soon in order to improve their experience.”
