Bus business booming for Fast Rent A Car

The company has just added 44 buses, worth Dhs15m, to its 120-strong fleet, and has now also confirmed that it is investing a further Dhs30m on around 100 more buses. This latest fleet of vehicles will be based in the workers village in Abu Dhabi, where it will be used for the transportation of industrial and construction workers.

Fast Rent A Car is the leading locally-owned provider of leased transport in the UAE, and has witnessed a steady rise in business over the past 12 months, against the backdrop of a global economic downturn. Its buses are currently used by a range of organisations, from companies involved in the construction and hospitality industry to schools and universities and government-run projects.

Fast Rent A Car's commercial passenger fleet ranges from budget mini-buses to luxury coaches. With this additional investment, the company is acquiring a wide variety of different vehicles with capacity for between 33 and 65 passengers. These new vehicles will allow Fast Rent A Car to satisfy even more customers' logistics needs, from short-term leasing for conferences and exhibitions to long-term plans for construction companies.

Ensuring that it offers the highest standards of customer service, Fast Rent A Car has a specially trained, in-house team dedicated to managing the company's fleet of buses on behalf of its clients.

Commenting on the announcement, Mr Ahmed Abood, CEO of Fast Rent A Car, said:

"This investment of Dhs45m is indicative of the confidence and trust that our customers are continuing to place in our products and services, despite the economic downturn. By more than doubling the size of our fleet, we are also better placed to provide a full range of the latest, flexible transportation options to potential clients."
