From Cardiff to Cairo, the Azores to New Zealand: Final Rentals Expands to 5 New Global Regions

In the ever-evolving world of travel, few stories are as inspiring as Final Rentals. What started as a bold idea from Wales has now transformed into a global car rental marketplace, serving travelers in over 55 countries. And in late 2025, we’ve taken another huge leap forward—expanding into five new regions:

• 🇪🇬 Egypt
• 🇪🇸 Spain (Tenerife & La Gomera)
• 🇵🇹 Portugal (Azores)
• 🇰🇼 Grand Cayman
• 🇳🇿 New Zealand (South Island)

This is not just another expansion update. It’s a story of people, partnerships, and possibilities. It’s about building something meaningful for travelers and local car rental operators alike.

The Journey So Far: From Wales to the World

Final Rentals was born in the heart of Wales, with one clear mission: to make car rentals more accessible, transparent, and local-friendly. While big-name players dominate the market, we believed in empowering independent operators by connecting them to global travelers.

Fast forward to 2025, and Final Rentals has become a trusted name in the travel tech industry. We offer affordable and premium rental cars at international airports, city centers, and off-the-beaten-path destinations. With more than 1,200 partners globally and operations in 55+ countries, we’re closer than ever to reaching our next goal: 100 countries.

What This Expansion Means for Travelers?

Each of the five new regions represents not just a pin on the map, but a new world of experiences for travelers. Here’s why they matter:

🇪🇬 Egypt: Timeless Heritage Meets Road-Trip Potential

Whether you're planning a drive along the Nile or a Red Sea coastal adventure, Egypt’s roadways offer unforgettable sights. With new Final Rentals locations for car rental at Cairo International Airport and Sharm El-Sheikh, travelers can now:

• Rent cars directly upon arrival.
• Avoid inflated local prices.
• Enjoy transparent pricing and digital booking support.

And with Egypt expecting over 15 million international visitors in 2025, car rentals are becoming an essential travel tool.

🇪🇸 Spain (Tenerife & La Gomera): Islands Built for Exploration

Spain has always been one of Final Rentals’ top-performing regions. Now, we’re going deeper into the Canary Islands. Tenerife and La Gomera are known for their volcanic landscapes, lush forests, and coastal drives.

Our local partners on these islands make it easy for travelers to:

• Rent compact cars for narrow village roads.
• Choose SUVs for mountainous terrain.
• Pick up vehicles from both Tenerife North and South airports.

In 2024 alone, Tenerife hosted over 6 million tourists, with demand for flexible transport in Spain growing year-round.

🇵🇹 Portugal (Azores): Europe’s Green Paradise

The Azores are often called the Hawaii of the Atlantic—a chain of volcanic islands that offer whales, waterfalls, and wild landscapes. But here’s the thing: public transport is limited.

That’s where Final Rentals steps in:

• Pickup points across Ponta Delgada, Terceira, and Faial.
• Electric vehicle options for sustainable travelers.
• Unlimited mileage deals are perfect for island-hopping.

In 2025, Azores tourism is projected to rise by 18% over pre-pandemic levels, making car rental bookings in Azores more essential than ever.

🇰🇼 Grand Cayman: Where Luxury Meets Convenience

Known for Seven Mile Beach and its thriving dive scene, Grand Cayman is a high-end destination. But that doesn’t mean car rentals should come with luxury markups.

Final Rentals is changing that by:

• Offering affordable daily rates (starting from $35/day).
• Partnering with local operators for better vehicle availability.
• Enabling direct rental car pickup from Owen Roberts Airport.

More than 500,000 visitors are expected in Grand Cayman this season, and many prefer driving to explore the island’s natural and culinary gems.

🇳🇿 New Zealand (South Island): A Road Trip Dream

If you’re looking for cinematic landscapes, the South Island delivers. Think snow-capped peaks, glacier-fed lakes, and world-class vineyards.

What Final Rentals brings to the South Island:

• 4x4s and campervans tailored for alpine terrain.
• Flexible one-way rentals between Queenstown, Christchurch, and Dunedin.
• Real-time booking, even during ski season.

New Zealand welcomed 3.4 million international visitors in 2024. With tourism bouncing back fast, South Island rentals are in high demand.

Why Local Operators Matter?

At Final Rentals, we don’t just onboard car fleets. We build relationships with local businesses that know their communities. In every new region, our goal is twofold:

• Help travelers book easily and affordably.
• Empower local partners with tech, visibility, and training.

Each of our 5 new regions is powered by these partnerships. Whether it’s a family-run business in the Azores or an established fleet in Grand Cayman, we make sure they’re set up to compete with the biggest players in the world.

What Sets Final Rentals Apart?

• Transparent Pricing: No hidden charges, no surprises.
• 24/7 Multilingual Support: From bookings to breakdowns, we’re here to help.
• Airport Pickup: Over 80% of our bookings are at major international airports.
• Real-Time Availability: What you see is what’s actually available.
• No Membership Fees: Anyone can rent—travelers, expats, digital nomads.

And now, travelers heading to Egypt, Spain’s Canary Islands, the Azores, Grand Cayman, or the South Island, NZ can experience this difference firsthand.

From Wales, With Heart

Being a Wales-based company makes this milestone even more meaningful. It’s proof that with the right mindset, a small team can make a global difference.

Every time a new partner joins us, every time a traveler rents from a local host in a faraway destination, it reinforces what we stand for: accessible, affordable, and fair car rentals powered by human connection.

We don’t just grow for the sake of it.We grow with people.

And with Egypt, Spain (Tenerife & La Gomera), Portugal (Azores), Grand Cayman, and New Zealand (South Island) now live, we’re closer to our 100-country dream than ever before.

To our partners, our users, and our team—thank you for driving this journey with us.
