It operates in 4,500 locations worldwide, including exclusively with Budget Rent A Car in the US, and as well as offering a white label hyperlink facility for agents also provides an XML service for agents putting together their own deals or offering component sales.

Angela Day, managing director of Affordable, said: “I’m delighted to confirm the partnership with On the Beach. Affordable Car Hire has built a dedicated white label solution site for On The beach consumers.

“The site will focus on specific destinations currently being sold by On The Beach which and include unique products sourced by Affordable in addition to offering our existing car hire range.

“This represents a new era for Affordable Car Hire’s strategy working with unique and innovative travel providers.”
