Green Motion is continuing its worldwide expansion with the opening of a new on-terminal location at Tirana International Airport in Albania.
Having acquired the Green Motion franchise just over two years ago, Green Motion Albania owner Nertil Duli has ensured that his locations deliver the very highest levels of customer service, with some of the top scorings across the entire Green Motion network, as well as within his given markets.
"Nertil and his team have done an exceptional job developing our brand within Albania," Green Motion Founder and CEO Richard Lowden said in a statement. "Despite the current pressures on the car rental and global travel sector Nertil has managed to launch this crucial on-terminal location in Tirana, putting Green Motion right alongside the top car rental brands at Tirana airport such as Sixt, Enterprise and Avis, and I have no doubt that this new location will be a roaring success - placing Green Motion right at the very forefront to service the requirements of returning international travellers as well as domestic customers."
