The trainline.com has introduced a new facility which will allow rail customers to combine rail travel with car hire during travel in the UK.

The new service will allow customers the chance to link up their train travel with car hire facilities, providing access to hundreds of car hire providers across the country. The sophisticated system ensures rail travellers are able to book hired cars from an operator situated closest to their final rail stop for their convenience and ease of use.

The service has been launched in conjunction with Car Trawler which allows trainline.com customers access to a database of hundreds of car hire providers across all regions of the UK so travellers are able to locate the most conveniently situated car hire service to their rail stop, and also the very cheapest deal by comparing the hire rates across a range of operators.

With the option to combine rail travel with a car hire service, travellers in the UK are able to enjoy the best of both worlds. While train transport offers a more relaxing way by which to travel, and also a cost effective and environmentally friendly means of transport, often individuals need a car to complete the final part of their journey, and so the new service from trainline.com offers the perfect balance.
