Carwiz International welcomed Slovenia to its family of countries, with a franchise purchased by ABmobil rent d.o.o.
"After last year's successful performance in the Croatian rent–a–car market, where under the Carwiz franchise we ranked among the top three largest rent-a-car companies in one year, entering into a partnership for the Slovenian market was the next step in strengthening the business presence in the region," said Tomaž Lozar, founder and CEO of ABmobil rent d.o.o. in a statement.
"In Slovenia, we will be available to customers through four business units, namely International Ljubljana Airport, Ljubljana, Maribor, and Koper. In the future, we aim to expand to Western European markets and continue to provide quality service to our customers.“
Slovenia will offer Carwiz's fleet of rental cars, including sedans, SUVs, and vans.
"We are thrilled to welcome Slovenia as a new franchise country for Carwiz," added Krešimir Dobrilović, founder and CEO of Carwiz International. "Slovenia is a beautiful country that has a lot to offer, and we are excited to have experienced partners that will provide top-level rental car service to both visitors and local residents."
