Green Motion, which currently operates in 47 markets around the world, is opening its first affiliate in California supporting LAX Airport.
This latest location adds to its growing U.S. network, which already has sites in Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, and soon Texas. Green Motion's new affiliate program offers market-leading connections with brokers and OTAs at low rates, helping rental operators drive even greater levels of profitability for their business.
"I am extremely thrilled to see the continued expansion of the Green Motion brand, especially at this moment in time when our entire sector has had to rapidly adjust to very different trading conditions," Richard Lowden, founder & CEO of Green Motion, said in a statement. "I would like to personally welcome Michael Esfahani to the Green Motion family and thank Xavier Ortiz-Mena and his dedicated management team for their hard work and due diligence in delivering growth and expansion within California."
