Fleet Size Increases to 1400 Vehicles as Rapid Expansion across the UAE Continues
Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Providing the public with a combination of the best value available in the industry, at the most competitive prices possible, Dollar Rent A Car UAE celebrated its 1^st anniversary last month.

Dollar's fleet of vehicles recently crossed 1400 and new Dollar outlets continue to open across the UAE on a regular basis, including at Dubai Airport-Terminal 1, Trade Center and the Green Community in Dubai. Another outlet is set to open before the end of the year at the Trade Center.

Fully-operational outlets can also be found on the Sheikh Zayed Road, Bur Dubai, Deira, Karama, Hamriyah Free Zone-Sharjah, Dubai International Airport-Terminal 2.

"The regional car rental market continues to develop and Dollar Rent A Car has remained at the forefront of this growth, opening in strategic locations across the UAE and increasing fleet size to meet the growing demand for quality vehicles, driven primarily by the tourism boom," said Sumit Chopra, general manager, Dollar Rent A Car.

Dollar Rent A Car UAE will be giving away a brand new Ford Focus, as part of its first anniversary celebrations.

During the month-long Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF), scheduled to start on 4 January 2006, customers who rent a car on a weekly or monthly basis from Dollar Rent A Car will be entered into a draw, and one lucky winner will walk away with the sporty and stylish 4-door sedan.

"The success we have enjoyed in the past year is testament to the strength of our brand and the services we offer, unsurpassed in terms of quality. Our anniversary promotion is our way of sharing this success with our customers and celebrating the Dollar brand, its history and bright future in the region," he added.

To meet the increasing demand for short-term vehicles in Abu Dhabi, Dollar Rent A Car recently opened a branch office in the capital on Defense Road, offering high-quality transportation solutions to meet the varied needs of residents, tourists and visiting businesspeople.

All Dollar outlets offer premium brand vehicles from Japanese, American and European manufacturers, and promise the best value available in the industry, at the most competitive prices possible.
