Catering to a diverse cross segment of society, the Dollar Rent A Car fleet now includes Hondas, Chevrolets, Nissans and Toyotas. In addition, a selection of commercial vehicles - notably several 35-seater buses- has also been added to the company's growing armada.

In addition to acquiring over one thousand new cars (the current vehicle stock now totals an impressive 2000), Dollar Rent A Car also unveiled plans to greatly increase its presence in the region, providing widespread and cost-effective car rental opportunities by opening several new outlets in the more dispersed Emirates such as Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah over the next few months.

"I am very pleased to be announcing such extraordinary results just in time for a busy summer season," said Sumit Chopra, general manager, Dollar Rent A Car.

"Over the last 15 months, Dollar has witnessed a veritable whirlwind of success in the UAE car rental market. This can be seen as testament to the quality of our vehicles, the value of our packages and last - but by no means least - the superiority of our customer service, a direct reflection of our excellent employees,"


he added.

Prompted by the success of their 'Spring Bonanza' offer, Dollar will also be offering special rates throughout the summer months to coincide with the Dubai Summer Surprises.

Finally, with sponsorship of pan-GCC events generating tremendous mileage towards Dollar's goal to dominate the region, the company has 'celebrated' with the launch of an elite range of vehicles; these will include Jaguar and BMW models.

"Once again we are responding to customer demand and the exciting unveiling of our 'Luxury Line' is in direct response to what we perceive to be a growing demands to fill this niche," concludes Chopra.

Fully-operational Dollar Rent A Car outlets can be found throughout Dubai on the Sheikh Zayed Road, Bur Dubai, Deira, Karama, Hamriyah Free Zone, the Green Community and at Dubai International Airport, Terminals 1 and 2. In addition to expansion within the UAE (Abu Dhabi and Sharjah now open), Dollar also intends to appoint new franchisees in Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Jordan to meet their growth targets over the coming months.
