Hertz UAE has scooped a top award for the third year in a row
at the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) Travel Awards held in Dubai last week.
The company, which is part of the Al-Futtaim group, was named as the Best Car Rental Company – International Brand following two months of online voting by customers and travel trade professionals.
A total of 54 awards were given out in 18 different categories, including categories for five and four-star hotels, spas, airlines, duty-free shops and golf courses.
Bob Farrow, Hertz UAE general manager, was presented with the top Platinum award at the glittering ceremony which took place in the Al Bustan Rotana Ballroom.
“Winning this award for a third time is a great honour for all our team members as it reflects their hard work and commitment to making sure that Hertz is the number one choice for both business and leisure travellers in the region,” he said.
