Riyadh, kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Theeb Rent A Car, one of Saudi Arabia's leading car rental companies received recently 450 GMC and Chevrolet cars and SUVs in an effort to enhance the company's fleet and to provide the best level of service to its Kingdom-wide clientele base.

The deal, one of the biggest fleet orders in Theeb's history, included 450 of Chevrolet Epica, Chevrolet Aveo, Chevrolet Optra, Chevrolet Caprice, Chevrolet Lumina, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban in addition to GMC Yukon and GMC Yukon XL.

Commenting on Theeb's decision, Munir Al Zu'bi, Fleet Sales Manager Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, General Motors Middle East, said: "It is the performance, reliability, low maintenance costs and value for money that have made Chevrolet and GMC the partner of choice for Theeb Rent A Car."

"We are extremely delighted to close such a deal with General Motors and Aljomaih Automotive Company. We are confident that many are yet to come," said Mr. Mohammed Al Theeb, Owner, Theeb Rent A Car.  "The safety and comfort features available on each of these vehicles, combined with the comprehensive range and aftersales care that we provide will help make our customers' experience with Theeb Rent A Car a more enjoyable and positive one."

The Chevrolet Aveo adds an even more confident, quiet and dynamic driving experience, as well as generous features that are rare in this segment, all of which makes it rental companies' first choice. Already one of the best selling models in its segment, the Aveo is a surprisingly roomy, refined entry-level car that delivers several unexpected extras at an unbelievably affordable price. 

A vehicle for all occasions, the Chevrolet Optra offers style, performance and a spacious interior - all in an attractively priced package. Combining performance and good looks, the Optra offers a remarkable level of space and functionality, making it the perfect choice for fleet expansion.

Particularly suited to being a fleet vehicle, the Chevrolet Epica combines a luxurious, sophisticated interior and exterior design with an impressive power train and affordable price tag.

Engineered specifically for the tough conditions of the Middle East, the Chevrolet Lumina has carved out a sizeable niche in the regional market due to its sleek styling, extensive safety features, powerful engine and exceptional value for money. On the other hand, the legendary Caprice continues to have a huge following in the Middle East, maintaining its pre-eminence as the car of choice among statesmen, government officials, business executives and large families.

While comfort and interior space have long been the cornerstones of the Suburban's success, it is also renowned for its enhanced safety and convenience features. Building on its long heritage in the Middle East, the Chevrolet Tahoe has dominated the market in terms of raw power, value, quality and comfort, proving once again that it is truly a leader in its category.  

The GMC SUVs have built a solid reputation for power, durability and strength. The all new GMC Yukon and GMC Yukon XL, further demonstrate a continuous commitment to exceed customers' expectations for high quality, powerful vehicles.

"We are delighted that one of KSA's leading car rental companies has turned to GMC and Chevrolet's widest range of vehicles to meet its fleet requirements. It is further testimony to the fact that Chevrolet and GMC products are unparalleled in terms of meeting the needs of individual and corporate customers in the region, concluded Al Zu'bi."
