One of the leading international car rental companies, Avis started operations in 1946 in the United States and rapidly expanded across the globe.
It was in 1975 that the company entered the United Arab Emirates through a franchise arrangement with Mr. Hareb Mohammed Al Otaiba, a highly respected and prominent businessman. The company's first office was opened in Abu Dhabi. Encouraged by the overwhelming success, it was Mr. Al Otaiba's vision to expand the franchise throughout the country.
Today, Mr. Al Otaiba's son, Mohammed Hareb Al Otaiba, Chairman of the Al Otaiba Group of Companies is at the helm of a diverse business house that includes Al Otaiba, Avis, Xerox, Ferretti and prominent agencies such as Nashua, Bosch, Candy Brunswick, Maytag and Steelite.
