Thrifty UAE will provide passengers with flexible and convenient first- and last-mile mobility
As the UAE prepares for a new era of passenger rail travel, one of the biggest challenges facing travellers is how to seamlessly complete their journey beyond the station.
In line with this, Thrifty Car Rental UAE, one of the region’s leading mobility providers, today announced that it has been awarded an exclusive five-year car rental partnership for Etihad Rail, giving passengers access to convenient and flexible onward transportation across the national rail network.
According to Thrifty UAE, more than 50% of train commuters globally rely on car rentals and other shared mobility options to complete the final leg of their journey.
Rail-to-road service
To support this evolving need, Thrifty UAE, in partnership with Etihad Rail, will be offering a first-of-its-kind Rail to Road service in the region. Designed for convenience and flexibility, the service gives passengers access to a vehicle directly at the station, allowing a seamless integration with the rail journey.
As Etihad Rail introduces passenger services across the country, this exclusive five-year agreement will aim to provide seamless, integrated mobility solutions that support the UAE’s vision for a more integrated transport network.
“By bringing Thrifty into the Etihad Rail network, we are bridging the gaps for passengers and helping build a smarter, fully connected, and sustainable future for travel in the UAE,” stated Abdulla Ahmed Almoosa, Founder, AA Almoosa Enterprises.
