Europcar Jordan – a great way to get around

Share  

I FREQUENTLY visit Jordan on business and tend to jump into taxis as most of my appointments are at hotels and they are readily available.

On my last trip, however, I needed to go straight from the airport down to the Dead Sea and, as my first appointment was with  Kempinksi Ishtar,  Dead Sea, staff there recommended their preferred transport company Europcar.

I contacted general manager Basel Fakhoury who replied immediately with an attractive rate for a car with driver, allowing me to work during my travel time.

On arrival at the airport, I  headed straight to the Europcar counter to find that the driver had actually been waiting for me with a sign which I hadn’t noticed - a nice added touch.

The car was a new model and the driver, Amr, spoke excellent English and was friendly and courteous and knew his way around Jordan and the traffic!

I decided to keep him for the three days I was in Amman and what a difference this made to my working day.  Amr was always on time (early) for every pick up and could not have been more helpful and efficient.

Hiring a car and driver certainly presents a worthwhile alternative to taxis and I would recommend Europcar in Jordan for either business or leisure since the local knowledge can make a trip so much easier.
