"I am overjoyed that my company is joining the Carwiz rent-a-car network because we recognized the brand's global influence and effectiveness in the region and beyond," said Sabedin Sinani, RCK sh.P.k., the director of the Kosovo franchise in the statement. "I believe that by highlighting the seriousness and quality of our joint business through the Carwiz brand, we will be able to successfully respond to the demanding market conditions and user needs."

Operating also as a franchisor in the Czech Republic, Carwiz records business growth through an increase in vehicle reservations of up to 92% compared to 2021, after about two and a half years. Given the success of the brand in the Czech Republic, Erik Rajohnson, director of RX auto s.r.o., decided to expand into the Slovakian market.

"Being a part of the Carwiz family has proven to be a safe and profitable business decision," added Rajohnson. "Doing business under the Carwiz brand resulted in a strong market position for the company and results that exceeded expectations, even during times of global crises. We are extremely pleased, and with all of this in mind, it was easy to decide that we wanted to repeat this in Slovakia."
