Holiday Autos starts again under new team

Holiday Autos Middle East, a broker offering customers the lowest car rental prices, has been re-launched.

The company has a new owner, a new managing director and a new office in Dubai.

"We plan to increase our turnover by 300 per cent in the next two years. Business has been great and there is nothing stopping us doubling our original forecast by the end of the fiscal year," said Nazar Musa, the company's managing director.

The Middle East operation is 50 per cent owned by US-based Sabre Holdings and 50 per cent by the managing director.

Holiday Autos Middle East is part of Holiday Autos International Ltd.

Holiday Autos International Ltd was part of lastminute.com before the internet leisure portal was bought by Sabre Holdings for Dh3.8 billion earlier this year.

In the UAE, Holiday Autos has a relationship with Axis, part of the Dnata group, which manages sales through travel agents on behalf of the company.
