"We have been observing the growth of Finalrentals in the last couple of years from the sidelines, and after meeting their higher management at WTM London, it was very clear to me that Finalrentals is going to be our partner in Romania," said Alex Dragomir, owner of Finalrentals in Romania. "We will bring the brand to our country, and we are excited to take this step and look forward to welcoming the Finalrentals consumers to Romania."
The partnership will operate in full swing and will serve across the nation, including the important city of Bucharest, and including services to all major airports as well as city locations. Other cities include Cluj-Napoca and Sibiu.
