Discovery Bank has taken its commitment to enhancing the travel experience of its clients to new heights with the introduction of priority express checkout at Europcar rental counters in Cape Town, King Shaka, Lanseria, and OR Tambo International airports. This new offering allows Discovery Bank clients to enjoy a seamless, paperless car collection process through Europcar’s Ready2GO express checkout counters.
The convenience of priority fast track has long been appreciated by Discovery Bank clients, especially at airport security checkpoints. Now, with the inclusion of Europcar’s Ready2GO express checkout option on the Vitality Travel online booking platform, customers can also fast track their car hire collection.
Dinesh Govender, the CEO of Vitality, expressed his excitement about this partnership, saying, “We know how much clients love breezing through airport security with Discovery Bank Priority Fast Track, and now, they can fast track their car hire collection too when booking on the Vitality Travel online booking platform.”
Vitality Travel, a comprehensive end-to-end travel offering, was introduced just over a year ago, and it has since become a preferred platform for travel bookings in South Africa. Offering great discounts on flights, accommodations, and car hire, Vitality Travel aims to enhance the client’s travel experience from start to finish. The integration of Discovery Bank Priority Fast Track and Europcar’s Ready2GO express checkout counters is yet another step towards achieving this goal.
The convenience and time-saving benefits of the Ready2GO express checkout counters are a result of the partnership between Discovery Bank and Europcar, with both parties committed to providing their mutual customers with a seamless travel experience. Martin Lydall, CEO of Motus Car Rental, Europcar’s parent company, spoke about the privilege of extending the Ready2GO offering to Discovery Bank clients. He said, “Travel can at times be stressful and time consuming, and Ready2GO has enabled a simpler, easier travel experience for our customers. We look forward to servicing Discovery Bank clients at our Ready2GO counters across the country, with the aim of collecting their rental vehicles without queues or paperwork. Ready2GO promises to be the fastest way to move.”
To take advantage of this exciting offering, Discovery Bank clients simply need to log in to Vitality Travel, go to the Car Rental section, and select the Ready2GO express checkout option when booking a vehicle. This will allow them to enjoy priority service and streamline their travel experience further.
Since its launch in 2022, Vitality Travel has rapidly become a preferred platform for travel bookings in South Africa, with nearly one million local and international flights booked to date. The platform was even recognized by winning the Qorus-Accenture’s Banking Innovation of the Month award in June. Dinesh Govender expressed his enthusiasm for how Discovery Bank clients will embrace the Ready2GO experience with Europcar, further redefining the travel experience and delivering unprecedented value.
As Discovery Bank continues to work with its partners to find innovative ways to enhance the client’s travel experience, their exclusive access to SAA’s airport lounges, Discovery Bank Priority Fast Track, and now, Europcar’s Ready2GO express checkout counters, will undoubtedly provide clients with added convenience and valuable time savings during their travels.
With Discovery Bank’s commitment to providing excellent financial services, credit, lending, personal finance, motor vehicles, insurances, and banking options, this latest enhancement to the Vitality Travel platform is sure to be well-received by their technology and shopping-savvy audience.
