National pre-empts national smoking ban

Date: 11 April 2007

National Car Rental and its Guy Salmon subsidiary have introduced a UK-wide smoking ban in all their vehicles ahead of the forthcoming bans on smoking in public or work places in England and Northern Ireland.

Each vehicle in the company's 45,000 fleet will now display a no smoking sign, to comply with the Welsh law introduced on 2 April, the Northern Ireland version coming in on 30 April and the English law active from 1 July.

"Applying this ban to all our vehicles means we are assisting our business customers in their capacity as employers to ensure their drivers remain compliant," said NCR's vice president of UK operations Ron Santiago. "We are also fulfilling or obligations as an employer, ensuring we are compliant where a vehicle is being used by our own drivers for delivery and collection journeys."

National has also announced a new two-year European deal with Mercedes-Benz that will see nine Merc models available through either National or Guy Salmon Prestige Rental.
