Thrifty UAE signs Mall Deal with Majid Al Futtaim Group

With the Middle East's retail industry forecast said to reach US$ 500 billion by 2010, Thrifty UAE, one of the region’s largest and fastest-growing car rental companies, is looking to capitalize on this growth.

The car rental giant recently signed a major deal with the Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) Group and has opened mall counters in Deira City Centre, Mall of the Emirates and Sharjah City Centre in April 2006, offering quality transportation solutions to meet the varied needs of shoppers.

The counters will give mall visitors access to a cross section of customer services including rates and reservations, confirmations, cancellations, account information, payments, renewals and customer relations.

“Footfall figures continue to grow across the UAE and no where is this more evident than in the shopping malls under the Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) Group umbrella. This tie-up affords Thrifty UAE a lucrative opportunity to reach out to a captive audience of visitors and residents who frequent these malls as they indulge in a spot of retail therapy,” said Khalid Al Moosa, Director, Thrifty Car Rental.

Thrifty Car Rental also recently enhanced its rental fleet, which now features a full line of vehicles, from economy through full-size cars, as well as minivans, full-size pickups, convertibles, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs), all of which will be accessible to mall visitors in the UAE.
