Following its huge success, Budget has now rolled out Arabic language websites in five other countries across the Middle East & North Africa including Bahrain, Morocco, Lebanon, Qatar and UAE. These developments have meant that Budget is now the only car rental company with an extensive station network of more than 140 branches in the region who can offer these additional services to its Arabic speaking customers. The Arabic website platform will be displayed on Budget’s ATM stand (CR320), where dedicated members of the Budget team will be available to guide visitors through the site and show how easy it is to make a reservation in Arabic. Visitors will be able to view all of the Middle East websites, including Budget UAE which allows corporate customers access to a new portal with a range of online services, beyond the normal online booking engine capabilities.
