CRX Agency Directory
Our agency directory allows you to have your contact information presented online in an easy to use format so that visitors who are searching by city can quickly access your Express Rental Center.
CRX Consumer Reliability Index
The CRX Consumer Reliability Index is an amazing opportunity for your agency to highlight its tremendous commitment to great service and value. It is an independent renter feedback tool that creates the CRX Consumer Reliability Index Seal, a star-based independent consumer rating for each agency that is displayed throughout CarRentalExpress.com and can also be placed on your own agency's web site.
The system operates by asking Car Rental Express renters to take an anonymous online survey that details their rental experience with a Car Rental Express Associate Car Rental Agency. The survey measures nine categories of service. The renter gives their agency a rating from one to five CRX Stars in each category, with five stars being the most positive. The renter responses are then averaged to form both a detailed breakdown of customer satisfaction in each category and an overall rating for each agency.
By providing an independent system of consumer feedback, Car Rental Express allows each Associate Agency to demonstrate to online viewers that it has proven itself as being an agency that provides superior service and value to real renters.
CRX Hot Deals
The Hot Deals section of the site allows you to have your coupons added to the city specific directory that is available to visitors who are specifically looking for discounts on rental packages.
