Dnata has expanded its car rental portfolio by adding the services of Dollar Rent a Car and Thrifty Car Rental to its offering.
Both brands are part of The Hertz Corporation, one of the global leading car rental companies, which dnata has been serving as a General Sales Agent (GSA) for more than eight years.

Our dedicated team is ideally placed to grow the presence of the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands in the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and provide outbound travellers with a wide choice of car rental options around the world."
Richard Bowden, vice president Inbound Sales, Hertz International, said: "The Middle East outbound market continues to present great opportunities for Hertz, so we are pleased to extend our partnership with dnata by introducing Dollar and Thrifty in the GSA's portfolio. dnata is an experienced operator, managing a wide travel distribution network and an extensive customer base across the region. Like us, dnata is constantly innovating to offer its customers enhanced convenience and a high quality service."
Dnata was appointed Hertz's GSA for the UAE in 2011.

With the addition of Dollar and Thrifty to its portfolio, dnata now offers a broader range of options to partners and customers looking for the absolute best value for their money, while enjoying an easy and transparent car rental journey.
