Residents of the UAE can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that leasing a car in Dubai is now easier than ever before, thanks to an innovative new program launched by Thrifty Car Rental.
‘Just Drive’, the company’s latest initiative, is aimed at Thrifty customers looking to lease a car here in the UAE. Once a customer has chosen a car, Thrifty Car Rental will be responsible for all leasing-related issues ranging from finding the car to registration, insurance and lease payments.
“We realize that leasing a car in the UAE can be a long and arduous process. For the UAE’s affluent yet transient society, leasing is the more viable option as it affords individuals the opportunity to change their cars more frequently. We conceptualized ‘Just Drive’ with this in mind,” said Rahul Singh, general manager, Thrifty Car Rental.
“Leasing a car with Thrifty has many advantages over buying - there are fewer headaches when it comes to breakdowns, re-registration and servicing. And for those who sign up for our personal leasing program, all that and more will be taken care of by us,” he added.
Thrifty Car Rental has over 23 conveniently-located outlets across the Emirates where customers can sign up for the ‘Just Drive’ service including at the Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZA) and Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai as well as Sharjah International Airport and Fujairah Trade Centre.
Across the region, Thrifty continues to win strong market share through its network of franchises in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, and Qatar.
“Thrifty enjoys consistently-growing market share and a reputation for exemplary service in the UAE. An initiative like ‘Just Drive’ is aimed at helping the brand consolidate these strengths and maintain its leadership position in the region’s competitive car rental market,” said Sam Eltibi, regional director, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, MENA.
