One of the Middle East's Fastest Growing Car Rental Companies Looks to Grab Market Share With Rise in Tourism in Jordan
Amman, Jordan, 19 September 2011, - Dollar Rent- A Car, a franchisee of the Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Inc., and one of the fastest growing car rental companies in the Middle East, recently announced its inception into Jordan's car rental market. Dollar Rent A Car is headquartered on Airport Road with braches operating in Terminal 1 and 2 of Amman Airport.
Majdi Jallad, managing director, Dollar Rent A Car Jordan, said, "The car rental industry in Jordan is greatly picking up with the improving infrastructure and the ease of renting in the Kingdom. There are number of popular, must-see historic sights that date back to the Hellenistic and late Roman to Arab Islamic Ages, which are easily accessible by car."
Speaking on Dollar's investments in Jordan, Jallad is enthusiastic about the initiative and is ready to compete with the existing car rental brands in the region. " Dollar Rent A Car is a trusted name in the Middle East for its exceptional service and quality cars, so we expect to see return on investment rolling in by early next year."
With the numerous off-road destinations in Jordan, Dollar Rent A Car has stocked up on a number of 4x4s and SUVs, which Jallad states are the most sought after car in the Kingdom.
