Carwiz International, a worldwide car rental franchise, recently partnered with Everything Fleet, an Australian fleet management company, to act as its master franchisee for Australia.
Everything Fleet includes vehicle subscription, leasing, rental hire, and used vehicle sales, and as well as fleet-related support services.
The move into Australia is part of the Carwiz expansion of its brand to over 300 locations worldwide. It has operations on all continents with more than 35 franchisees.
For Carwiz International, Australia opens new business opportunities to a remote continent where few European companies manage to open their branches for Australian customers, who will soon be able to access Carwiz's rental services at multiple locations across the country. "Creating experiences" is the motto for Carwiz and the guiding principle that underpins its service.
“Today we are adding this one that is particularly important for us, which is the beginning of a partnership and hopefully a successful long-term cooperation with Everything Fleet,” said Krešimir Dobrilović, CEO and founder of Carwiz International, in an Oct. 18 news release. “Their commitment to exceptional service and shared values align perfectly with ours, making them a compatible partner to expand our presence in Australia.”
