The initiative, which includes the expansion of its already enviable fleet - 600 vehicles have been added so far this year - ties in with the ever increasing influx of persons to the UAE, in both the tourist and business sector.
Indeed, with ventures such as the GITEX exhibition, the opening of DIFC, Dubai Shopping Festival and the much anticipated launch of Business Bay - in addition to unstoppable hotel and residential construction and expansion within the airline sector - business is booming in the UAE. As a recent study reveals, Dubai now caters to over 2 million international tourists per year whilst concurrently processing in excess of 400,000 residence permits per annum.
Rahul Singh, General Manager Thrifty UAE concurs, 'These people need transportation!'
'With a wide variety of vehicle models - from the basic yet value-for-money Honda Accord to the more adventurous Mitsubishi Pajero and the extremely well appointed BMW 7, I believe that Thrifty can offer something for everyone.'
'Add to that our superb customer service, round the clock call-centre and conveniently located outlets and you can see why we continue to dominate the UAE market,' Singh added.
With a current fleet of more than 10,000 vehicles and with full-service outlets in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah, Sharjah and Al Ain (totaling 24 and located everywhere from shopping malls to hotels and airports) Thrifty continues to lead the way with vehicle leasing in the UAE.
'Our aim is to streamline our services and provide the most efficient one-stop shop in the business,' concluded Singh.
