Thrifty further augments unparalleled portfolio with new mall outlet

Thrifty Car Rental continues to capitalize on this retail boom and has just announced the opening of its latest outlet at the Dubai Festival City.

The new outlet will give shopping centre visitors easy access to a variety of customer services including rates, reservations, confirmations, cancellations, account information, payments, renewals and customer relations.

"These statistics highlight the enormous potential for car rental counters in shopping malls and the success we have enjoyed in such a short time with existing mall outlets provided further impetus," said Khalid Al Moosa, Director, Thrifty Car Rental.

"With its ideal location on the historic Dubai Creek and unique retail mix, Dubai Festival City is set to become a 'must visit' destination. Our decision to open an outlet here underscores our commitment to offering high-quality transportation solutions to meet people's varied needs in a convenient, easy-to-reach setting,"

he added.

In 2006, the car rental giant signed a major deal with the Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) Group and opened mall counters in Deira City Centre, Mall of the Emirates and Sharjah City Centre,

"As part of Thrifty's ambitious expansion plans, we aim to be present at all major retail hubs in the next few years, offering shoppers easy access to a full line of vehicles, from economy through full-size cars, as well as minivans, full-size pickups, convertibles, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs)," concluded Al Moosa.

Customers looking for these top of the range vehicles through Thrifty can also dial 800-4694, a toll free number to enquire about availability or make a reservation. The number is enabled to ensure that when a potential or existing customer calls from anywhere in the Emirates the phone will be answered at the corresponding service desk in the city from where the customer is calling.
