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.
