“The car rental industry is very competitive both in Greece and in Europe. We identified a gap in the market 12 years ago. While there were big brands, there was also the need for both Tour Operators and retail customers for a growing brand, which would consist of smaller business entities in places (by extension franchise) combined with technology and systems. In essence, there we gave a professional profile to franchisees, who wanted to develop and turn to larger channels and did not have the opportunity until then.
Nikos Paspalakis, CEO of Surprice Car Rentals
