National Car Rental is getting ready to set up a new office in Oman, as part of a broader strategy aimed at expanding this international firm’s presence throughout the Middle East.

Although National’s presence in Oman will be rather modest at first (with only 40 available rental cars) the car rental giant plans to expand its fleet fairly rapidly to 130 vehicles before the end of the year.

Neil Summerville, National’s director of franchising in Europe and the Middle East, expressed his satisfaction that his firm is able to rely on the experience and good name of a local company, such as the Shanfari Group. “We are delighted to be associated with such a well established group in Oman and their experience in both the auto and travel industries will be invaluable as support for the new franchise,
