Indian car rental platform Zoomcar begins operations in Egypt

CAIRO – 3 October 2021: Zoomcar, a car rental company based in India, has announced the expansion of its business in the Middle East to include Egypt.

Zoomcar has had a platform for renting self-drive cars in India since 2013, which enables its customers to rent cars upon their request, either by the hour, day, week or month.

The Zoomcar platform includes more than 7,000 vehicles in five countries. It was founded in Bangalore, India, and employs more than 300 people in more than 50 cities in India, according to a statement issued by the company on Sunday.

“Egypt has low rates of car owners, and a growing number of people who want to move around freely and at affordable prices, which is an opportunity for us,” said Greg Moran, CEO and Co-Founder of Zoomcar.

The company has appointed Hany Olama as the regional manager for Egypt, and is looking forward to expanding its business and building fruitful partnerships in Egypt in a move to grow its business in the Middle East and North Africa.
