Global car rental experts Finalrentals has strengthened its presence in the Caribbean market by adding Grenada to its portfolio.
The Windward island nation becomes the eighth Caribbean location on its growing list of car rental destinations. Working in partnership with Jivon Louison, Finalrentals will be able to offer car hire at Grenada’s international airport as well as city locations.
Founder and CEO Ammar Akhtar said: “Our ambition is to expand the car rental market into new destinations where hiring a car has been impossible or difficult for travellers across the globe.
“It is great to welcome Grenada as part of the Finalrentals locations and to be working with a knowledgeable local partner in Jivon. We purposely work with local businesses to give customers a greater choice that goes beyond the big car rental companies.
“Grenada, which is known as the island of spice, is seeing tourist numbers almost back to pre-Covid levels, with more than 500,000 day and overnight visitors in 2023 – a rise of 51% on the previous year.”
Jivon Louison says “We are delighted to partner with Finarentals to democratise car rentals to the many tourists that see Grenada their destination of choice. Dubbed the Uber of car rentals, Finalrentals is an online platform that connects customers with local car rental companies across the world and we are proud to be part of this innovative venture”.
Finalrentals, which has just marked its second anniversary, already has an established presence in Antigua and Barbuda, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, St Lucia, Sint Maarten, Trinidad & Tobago and Turks & Caicos.
Founded in 2019 and based in Cardiff, UK, Finalrentals has been growing as a fully digital car rental brand. Since the start of the year, the company has received a 300% increase in inbound partnership requests.
TheFinalrentalsplatform is available for users in more than 30 countries, including Costa Rica, Greece, Mexico, Portugal, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States of America.
