Finalrentals, a global car rental provider, recently expanded into Turks and Caicos as part of the company's growth strategy across the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean territories.
Following the successful establishment in Puerto Rico, Finalrentals views Turks and Caicos as a promising area to further enhance its presence in the Americas.
With a track record of franchise operations in Saint Lucia, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Antigua, and Puerto Rico, Finalrentals is steadfast in its mission to expand its footprint toward 100 territories globally.
Founder and CEO Ammar Akhtar emphasized exceptional customer experience as the cornerstone of Finalrentals' ethos. "Quality will solve all the growth problems in the end," Akhtar said in an April 9 news release. He also highlighted the company's commitment to customer satisfaction as a priority.
The addition of the Turks and Caicos franchise will see Finalrentals offering car rental services at the Providenciales International Airport.
"We were approached by numerous partnership programs, but Finalrentals stood out to us," said Elbeau Chrisnel, the business leader and owner of the Turks and Caicos franchise. "We believe in Finalrentals' honest and straightforward vision to create a win-win situation for all stakeholders."
The islands lie 575 miles southeast of Miami, Florida, south of the Bahamas, and east of Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Haiti. They are home to more than 31,000 full time residents and attract more than one million tourists annually.
“Despite initial perceptions, these regions are incredibly suitable for car rental services due to the influx of tourists," Akhtar added.
Finalrentals serves a global clientele by providing access to quality car rental companies under its umbrella.
