Dubai-headquartered Al Rais Rent A Car, a prominent entity within Al Rais Investment, is pleased to announce its latest strategic expansion by securing the master country franchise for U-Save Car & Truck Rental in the United Arab Emirates.

The new partnership enhances Al Rais Rent A Car’s offerings and underscores its commitment to aligning with Dubai’s visionary economic and environmental goals.

Established in 2002 as part of Al Rais Investment, Al Rais Rent A Car has distinguished itself in the UAE’s competitive car rental market. With its roots tracing back to the establishment of Al Rais Investment in 1976, the group has been at the forefront of various pivotal sectors such as general trade, travel and tourism, real estate, logistics, business services, and car rental. This rich history sets a robust foundation for Al Rais Rent A Car’s newest venture.

U-Save Car & Truck Rental, a renowned American brand known for its comprehensive range of auto rental services, was acquired in 2022 by the environmentally-focused international car rental brand Green Motion.

Al Rais Rent A Car has already been successfully operating as the master franchisee for Green Motion in the UAE since 2019. This addition of U-Save to its portfolio is expected to further enhance its market presence and appeal to a broader international customer base.

Mohamed Jassim Al Rais, Chairman and CEO of Al Rais Investment, said: “Securing the U-Save master franchise aligns perfectly with our strategic vision to broaden our horizons while enhancing the mobility services we provide.

“This partnership not only signifies growth but also reinforces our commitment to adopting sustainable practices that contribute positively to our community and the environment.”

Richard Lowden, President of U-Save International, said: “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Al Rais Rent A Car, a company that embodies our values and demonstrates exceptional leadership in the UAE and has proven to be a highly trusted and driven collaboration. Together, we look forward to setting new benchmarks in the car rental industry here in Dubai.”

This new agreement with U-Save Car & Truck Rental not only expands Al Rais Rent A Car’s service capabilities but also reinforces its commitment to sustainability, a core tenet of both U-Save and Green Motion.

This strategic alignment is poised to drive significant growth and strengthen Dubai's position as a global hub for sustainable business practices.
