In the case of some client cards or company contracts between Europcar and other units of a legal or private nature, further information is requested and mentioned in the relevant contracts. Implementation of and passing on of personal data: Europcar uses your data for its own purposes and may pass them on in part to partner companies in Switzerland and abroad to facilitate car rentals.

Europcar permits public bodies to view the data collected in the face of primary legal regulations.
