01 November 2015, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates: Two new car rental companies have opened offices at Abu Dhabi International Airport’s Skypark Plaza, giving customers a greater choice of vehicles and prices. Fast Rent a Car and Avis UAE join the five car rental operators already based at the Plaza, and will offer customized rental solutions at competitive rates.

Consumer demand for choice, convenience and quality has never been higher, so we are constantly on the lookout for new partnerships that help us deliver on our commitment to providing a world-class travel experience.”
Abu Dhabi Airports will continue to unveil new concepts and partnerships, which strengthen the retail offering at Skypark Plaza as growth in the surrounding area is driven by the expanding commercial districts, as well as the development of new residential communities.
