As part of the deal, the car hire services company will become the official supplier of car hire for the Aegon Championships in London, the Aegon Eastbourne International, the Aegon Birmingham Classic and the Aegon Nottingham Opens.

Europcar also has exclusive agreements for five Aegon tennis events, offering courtside branding, as well as logo placement and advertising opportunities in programmes and hospitality areas.
Commenting on the agreement James Mercer, the LTA commercial director said: “We are thrilled that Europcar is joining LTA’s family of sponsors. Its reputation for quality and top level customer service make it a perfect match for British Tennis. We look forward to developing a strong relationship with Europe’s largest rental provider and benefiting from its world class transport services. This is a year round deal that will bring many benefits to the organisation in addition to the valuable support at all of our major events.”
