Carwiz Further Strengthens Its Position in Europe

Carwiz International d.o.o., one of the leading European rent-a-car companies and the company ABmobil rent d.o.o. in Croatia, have officially announced a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the travel experience for rent-a-car users in Croatia.

With this move, Carwiz International plans to significantly strengthen Carwiz’s position, precisely through its own franchise model, not only in Croatia but also in this part of Europe. By purchasing the master franchise of Carwiz for Croatia, ABmobil rent is entering the rent-a-car market and plans further expansion into the Slovenian and Austrian markets in the upcoming period.

ABmobil rent  will  thus incorporate the entire Carwiz infrastructure and  offering in Croatia into its services, meaning it will implement Carwiz’s franchise model, which already implies a strong position in the industry. Given that ABmobil’s portfolio includes innovative solutions in the automotive industry, a platform for effectively addressing and  enhancing customer engagement and experience, which covers all stages of the customer journey, and Carwiz offers a unique business solution in its franchise model, this collaboration will mean consistent growth and development of the Carwiz brand.

– I am pleased and truly proud that ABmobil rent has recognized Carwiz International as a potential partner for expanding its business, and this is also a confirmation that we have managed to develop a strong brand of trust in such a short time. I see this step as progress, and I am aware that this collaboration will bring significant business success in the future and further strengthen Carwiz’s position in Croatia  –  emphasizes Krešimir Dobrilović, founder and owner of Carwiz International d.o.o.

Carwiz users in Croatia will continue to have access to top-notch service, new and reliable vehicles, and a significant change compared to the existing model will occur in stronger expansion towards the B2B segment, specifically long-term rentals for business users. When we talk about the rental service, there are several key advantages that B2C and B2B users can expect:  improved customer support, greater customer satisfaction, better and more accessible information.

This partnership brings significant changes, especially in communication with clients, to whom Carwiz in Croatia will now offer a unique omnichannel experience across the widest range of communication channels offered by any individual rent-a-car service provider.

– Brand perception is no longer defined solely through infrastructure, but by the experience they offer their users. The synergy strategy of top-notch vehicle rental service and communication is a fundamental part of that experience, as users enjoy interacting with brands through various digital communication channels. For Carwiz, it is crucial to adapt to customer desires and needs, to simplify complex processes, all to deliver a top-notch travel experience to its clients. Thus, the new management of Carwiz in Croatia plans to increase the number of branches compared to the previous year and significantly increase the fleet size to over 1500 vehicles in the season. This will position them among the largest rent-a-car companies in Croatia – announced Carwiz.

Carwiz International will focus exclusively on growth through the franchise model and the recently launched Affiliate program specifically created for the American market, thus continuing the expansion of the Carwiz brand worldwide. The new partnership in Croatia is a step in the right direction.

– We are extremely pleased to have joined forces with Carwiz International to increase the value of available resources, especially at a time when most rent-a-car companies are struggling with a shortage of vehicles. At Carwiz Croatia, we do not have that problem. This partnership is a logical step for both companies, with the goal of long-term quality enhancement and providing top-notch vehicle rental service – emphasized Tomaž Lozar, CEO and founder of ABmobil rent, and he added: „
