U-Save Car & Truck Rental, a global vehicle rental franchise brand, recently sold its master franchise for Turkey, starting this year.

Entrepreneurs Volkan Buyukcolpan and Cagatay Kunac acquired the franchise. They bring combined experience, market insight, and operational credibility in growing the franchise across the Turkish market.

Founded in 1979, U-Save Car & Truck Rental is one of the oldest franchise-based vehicle rental brands in the world, built on a model that champions entrepreneurial local ownership supported by international scale, systems, and brand strength.

Buyukcolpan and Kunac offer decades of proven leadership within the Turkish car rental and mobility sectors. 

Recognized for their commercial discipline, operational excellence, and deep understanding of the domestic market, they have consistently delivered growth in competitive environments. 

Together, U-Save’s global franchise heritage and local leadership give entrepreneurs seeking to align with an international brand the opportunity to retain the agility and control of local ownership.

Under the leadership of Buyukcolpan and Kunac, U-Save Turkey will expand its domestic franchise across major cities, airports, regional centres, and high-growth local markets.

Turkey continues to see growth in tourism, domestic travel, and commercial mobility, said Richard Lowden, president of U-Save International, in a Jan. 5 news release.

“This is exactly the type of partnership we seek when awarding a master franchise,” he said. “Turkey is an important strategic market for U-Save, and placing the brand in the hands of respected local entrepreneurs is fundamental to our franchise philosophy. U-Save has always been about empowering local business owners with a global platform.”
