National Car Rental, along with its sister company Guy Salmon, is applying a UK wide smoking ban to all rental vehicles.

The no smoking ban is being implemented across the company’s 45,000 strong fleet.

A smoking ban is already in place in Wales; Northern Ireland follows at the end of April; and England’s no-smoking policy starts on 01 July. Scotland has had a no-smoking policy since 2006.

“We feel strongly that a smoking ban should be applied to all our vehicles. It will help our customers – who are employers – to comply with the new legislation,” confirmed Ron Santiago, vice president UK operations, National Car Rental.

“By putting No Smoking stickers in all our vehicles we can ensure that they are not at risk from the heavy penalties for non-compliance with the new legislation.”

The smoking ban applies to public places and work places, as well as vehicles used by more than one person for work purposes.

The programme to put No Smoking stickers into all National and Guy Salmon rental vehicles, cars and vans, started in March 2007.
