The event gathered key stakeholders from both organizations, highlighting their shared commitment to driving excellence and growth.
Paulo Fernandes, COO of Autorent, stated that, “Partnering with Finalrentals marks an exciting chapter for Autorent and Bahwan International Group. By combining our local expertise with Finalrentals’ innovative digital solutions, we aim to deliver a seamless and superior car rental experience for our customers.”
As the Middle East’s leading auto rental and leasing service company, Autorent Car Rental LLC has established a reputation for delivering exceptional customer experience. With a robust presence over 16 prime locations across 12 cities in the UAE, Bahrain, KSA, and Oman, Autorent has been helping its customers get on the road faster with truly hassle-free car rentals and leasing with a fleet of more than 13,000 cars.
Shakil Ahmad Khan, Vice President of Autorent, stressed that, “Our collaboration with Finalrentals reflects Bahwan International Group’s commitment to fostering innovation and delivering exceptional value. We are excited to work together to elevate the car rental experience and set new benchmarks in the UAE.”
Finalrentals, headquartered in Wales, plays a key role in transforming the global car rental industry through innovative and proprietary technology, connecting thousands of customers with hundreds of local car rental businesses worldwide in more than 30 countries including Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, offering them a seamless platform to search for and hire vehicles.
Akhtar also added that, “Expanding into the UAE is a pivotal moment for Finalrentals. The country’s dynamic market, thriving tourism sector, and forward-thinking business ecosystem make it the perfect landscape for innovation in mobility solutions. This move not only strengthens our global footprint but also allows us to bring seamless, technology-driven car rental experiences to a key international hub. Last year, Dubai alone welcomed over 16.79 million international visitors between January and November, reflecting a 9 percent increase compared to the same period in 2023. This surge underscores Dubai’s and UAE’s position as a premier destination for both leisure and business travelers, highlighting the immense potential for growth in the car rental industry”.
The partnership is strengthened by Akhtar’s involvement in the Welsh Government Economic Trade Mission, a prestigious initiative supported by the UK Government’s Department for Business and Trade. The trade mission highlights the significance of fostering international collaborations to drive business growth and innovation.
By combining cutting-edge technology with an emphasis on exceptional customer service, both Finalrentals and Autorent strive to revolutionize the car rental experience for millions of residents in the UAE and tourists from the wider region.
