A Dadabai Group of Companies subsidiary Avenue Car Rental has opened its branch at the Bahrain International Airport to coincide with the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix, a report said.

Officials said though the branch will serve customers throughout Bahrain, it is initially targeting the hundreds of visitors who are arriving in Bahrain for this weekend's event at the Bahrain International Circuit, said the report published in the Gulf Daily News, our sister newspaper.

"Bahrain is the focus of international attention for the Grand Prix and we will be at hand to make visitors feel more comfortable," Avenue executive director Keshav Choudhary said.

"We have designed and branded the new facility to suit our customers' tastes and will offer total solutions relating to rental, leasing and chauffeur-driven needs to both our corporate and leisure clients." he added.

He said the company also offers chauffeur-driven services both within Bahrain and to and from any destination in Saudi Arabia through their uniformed bilingual chauffeurs.

Company managing director Hatim Dadabai said the Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) played a crucial and important role in correctly and carefully evaluating an intense tender process.

"We are happy we were preferred over other applicants to commence operations," he added.

He said the BAC's entire team deserved praise for their efforts in ensuring the selection was fair and transparent.
