The relocation of Green Motion Fiumicino to this new flagship operation marks a milestone for Green Motion Italia, providing customers from across the globe with improved service and car rental experience when visiting the Eternal City.
Located to support one of Europe’s busiest airports, the new Fiumicino facility has been designed to deliver world-class convenience, efficiency, and customer care.
“The hard work and outstanding efforts of our team have made this remarkable launch possible, and I know that every customer who passes through our doors will experience the passion and professionalism that defines our brand,” saidAntonino Condurso, owner of Green Motion Italia, in a Sept. 12 news release.
Condurso acquired Green Motion's master franchise for Italy in 2012. Other Italian airport outlets include: Alghero Airport, Bergamo Airport, Cagliari Airport, Olbia Airport, Venezia Airport, Catania Airport, Pescara Airport, and Verona Airport.
Richard Lowden, founder and CEO of Green Motion, added, “This truly is a world-class facility, and I could not be happier with the improvement that this means for standards of service and quality that Green Motion customers will enjoy here in Rome.”
