Budget Rent A Car won the coveted ‘UAE’s Leading Car Rental Company’ recognition at the 21st World Travel Awards, dubbed as ‘the Oscars of the travel industry’,which were presented in Dubai at a gala ceremony attended by the Who’s Who of the travel industry.
The award, voted by travel and tourism professionals worldwide, was in recognition of Budget UAE’s commitment to excellence demonstrated in the last 12 months. Budget scored over four other competitors that were nominated in the UAE’s Leading Car Rental Company category of the prestigious annual awards.

“This award celebrates the successful implementation of our innovative strategies focused on putting the customer first,” said Salim Damji. “We are particularly thrilled to receive this recognition because it is based on votes of professionals from the global travel and tourism industry. We always take pride in keeping our finger on the pulse of customer preferences, as reflected in the recent addition of the new Chevrolet Trax to our fleet, as well as introducing the high-end Chevrolet Corvette and the Chevrolet Impala.”
