Global car rental network Finalrentals is expanding into the Slovakian and Austrian markets.
The Cardiff-based fintech said the strategic expansion would strengthen its presence in Central Europe, offering travellers ‘seamless’ access to car rental services at Bratislava International Airport and Vienna International Airport.
To drive this venture, Finalrentals has partnered with Andrej Nemec, a leading figure in the regional mobility industry. Nemec’s expertise will ensure the company’s innovative approach resonates with the diverse needs of travellers in these bustling European hubs, Finalrentals said.
This dual-country expansion marks a pivotal moment in Finalrentals’ mission to deliver high-quality, digitally driven car rental solutions to local and international customers, it added. It said that Slovakia and Austria’s central position in Europe, paired with their flourishing tourism industries, makes them ideal markets for the company’s advanced car rental offerings.
Ammar Akhtar, Founder and CEO of Finalrentals, said:
“With Vienna and Bratislava serving as major gateways to Central Europe, this expansion is a key step in our journey to becoming the world’s leading car rental network. These cities are vibrant centers of history, culture, and connectivity, attracting both leisure and business travellers. Partnering with Andrej Nemec empowers us to deliver an unparalleled car rental experience to those exploring these remarkable destinations.”
Andrej Nemec, now the franchisee for Slovakia and Austria, brings invaluable local knowledge and operational expertise to this partnership. His deep understanding of regional market dynamics will enable Finalrentals to thrive in these competitive territories, said the firm.
Nemec said:
“Finalrentals’ innovative and customer-focused approach perfectly aligns with the needs of travellers in Slovakia and Austria. As tourism continues to grow and airports like Vienna and Bratislava play critical roles in connecting Europe, this partnership is poised to transform the car rental experience. I am excited to introduce the trusted Finalrentals brand to these dynamic and evolving markets.”
The partnership comes amid significant growth in the Central European car rental market, driven by surging travel demand and digital transformation in the mobility sector.
