Avis UAE aims to make 6% of the fleet electric in 2023

n Rental and leasing solutions provider, Avis UAE, has been awarded the title of ‘Best Car Rental Company of the Year’ by the Middle East Hospitality Excellence Awards, and the ‘Leading Car Rental Company’ by World Travel Awards.

“The awards are a testament to our unwavering commitment to seamless service, hospitality, and innovation,” asserted Dominic Hagerty, General Manager, Avis UAE.

The company is on a mission to provide customers with total control over their rental experience. Avis UAE was one of the first companies in Dubai Airport to go completely paperless with PDAs, bookings, servicing, invoicing, and electronic signatures, with further innovations under development that will achieve a 100% contactless rental experience.

“By the end of 2023, we aim to make 6% of the fleet electric, inclusive of motorcycles, cars, and trucks. Currently, we already lease e-motorbikes for courier and postal service companies, and sustainably source local oil as opposed to importing,” Hagerty continued.

Avis launched in the United States in 1946 and was the first to rent cars from airport locations. In 1975, Hareb Mohammed Al Otaiba successfully secured the Avis franchise in the UAE.
