"With its financial strength, franchise structure and plans for expansion, Network was an ideal partner to provide greater efficiencies, more availability and the continued high level of world-class services that customers have come to expect," said Michael J.

Network Car & Truck Rentals, owned by Denburr Pty Ltd., has more than 50 years of experience in the Australian car rental and franchising industry. Renting vehicles through a franchise network is the company's core business.
