Dubai, February 1, 2016

Budget Rent a Car has boosted its presence at UAE airports by opening a new outlet at the Ras Al Khaimah International Airport. With this addition, Budget will have presence at four international airports in UAE - Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah.

Salim Damji, Group General Manager, Budget Rent a Car UAE, said: "Budget is keen to tap its expertise of servicing airport customers. This category of customers expects quick service and easy vehicle availability. Budget goes the extra mile to reserve cars as per customers' requirements. We are the first premium car rental company to open an outlet at RAK International Airport, and we aim to capture a sizable market share."

Damji added that Budget's expansion strategy is focused on having a strong presence in all emirates and at all upcoming airports. Currently, Budget has 22 locations in UAE, which include physical and virtual offices at airports, hotels and major business hubs 

Budget UAE is an ISO 9001 company since 1997. It was among the first car rental companies to hold such certification.  In 2015, it won the coveted 'UAE's Leading Car Rental Company' award for the second time in a row at the 22nd World Travel Awards.

The move to open an outlet at Ras Al Khaimah International Airport was prompted by the impressive growth registered by the airport in recent times. According to official figures, RAK International Airport registered a 17 per cent increase in passenger traffic in 2015, and aircraft movements of scheduled flights rose by 26 per cent over 2014. The airport's cargo business grew 51 per cent year on year.
