The first ever CarTrawler Car Rental Vendor of the Year Awards, in association with Auto Rental News, have been launched. This new annual event aims to award special recognition to suppliers who achieve superior levels of service, performance and partnership.
CarTrawler vendors worldwide will be automatically entered into the awards and divided into sub-categories relative to their fleet size and geographic region, eventually culminating in the selection of one overall Rental Vendor of the Year.

We believe that these awards will gain global recognition as they will be based on tangible data instead of unsubstantiated award nomination forms".

In addition, their brand will receive international media attention in addition to specific industry promotion through the official media partner, Auto Rental News.
