The new franchise was acquired by car rental entrepreneurs, Maher and Lawrence Alamad, a father-son team that also acquired the Green Motion Master Franchise in Jordan during the pandemic. Now, they are expanding the business they launched in 2021 with the purchase of U-Save's Master Franchise.
Richard Lowden, president of U-Save International, said U-Save looks forward to working with the Alamad’s on this new venture. “Maher and Lawrence have done an amazing job in Amman, creating an outstanding facility for U-Save customers to enjoy backed up by n incredible range of vehicles from GMC, Toyota, Nissan, Mercedes and Hyundai,” he said in a news release.
