Enterprise Holdings’ offices in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan and Saudi Arabia have been fully integrated into the company’s global reservation system for greater efficiency.
ST. LOUIS – Enterprise Holdings Inc. announced the beginning of significant expansion of its brands in the Gulf Region, including the addition of 29 joint National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car branch offices throughout United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Jordan – plus two Enterprise Rent-A-Car locations in Saudi Arabia.
“The Gulf Region offers significant growth opportunities due to an influx of tourists and business travelers, and the local mobility needs of domestic customers,” said Peter A. Smith, vice president of global franchising at Enterprise Holdings, which owns the National Car Rental, Alamo Rent A Car and Enterprise Rent-A-Car brands.
Enterprise Holdings’ offices in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan and Saudi Arabia have been fully integrated into the company’s global reservation system for greater efficiency. These locations represent the initial phase of implementation, with additional openings in these four countries, as well as expansion into other Gulf Region countries planned for later this year.
The Gulf Region expansion further illustrates Enterprise Holdings’ vision to build a network recognized for high quality and customer service in major markets across the globe. Enterprise Holdings is operational in more than 80 countries and territories worldwide.
“Premier Car Hire”
Enterprise Holdings’ Smith was a keynote speaker at the International Car Rental Show in Las Vegas, which included an interactive discussion about the company’s global expansion. “We’re now able to capitalize on opportunities in the Gulf Region as a result of our partnership with the Al Jomaih Group,” he noted. “This represents tremendous long-term potential for both companies, because we share a passion for outstanding customer service as well as strategic growth.”
AJAR (Al Jomaih Auto Rental), a car rental business established by the Al Jomaih Group, is the master franchisee for Enterprise Holdings in the Gulf Region. “We anticipate a great deal of success through our partnership with Enterprise, as we both are driven to become the premier car hire company in the region,” said Ibrahim M. Abdulaziz Al Jomaih, CEO of the Al Jomaih Group.
