CARWIZ launches operations in Central Asia for the first time – a new strategic step in Uzbekistan

CARWIZ International continues its strong international growth and proudly announces its entry into the Uzbekistan market, marking the brand’s first-ever expansion into the Central Asian region. This strategic move further confirms the company’s long-term vision focused on global expansion and strengthening its presence in fast-growing markets.

The new franchise location will operate under the company name DRIVELAB and will be led by Director Shakhzod Islamov Shukhrat o’g’li. The company’s headquarters will be located in the capital city, Tashkent, which represents the country’s main economic, transportation, and tourism hub.

Entering the Uzbekistan market is a continuation of CARWIZ International’s expansion strategy in Asia, following the successful development of its network in other parts of the region. As the first Central Asian country in the CARWIZ portfolio, Uzbekistan plays an important role in the brand’s further development in this region.

“Entering Uzbekistan is particularly meaningful for us, as it opens the door to an entirely new region. Central Asia represents a large market with growing tourism and business potential, and we see our partnership with the DRIVELAB team as a strong foundation for the long-term and sustainable development of the brand in this country,” said Krešimir Dobrilović, founder and CEO of CARWIZ International.

The partnership with the local franchisee is based on shared values, a clear business vision, and a strong understanding of modern rent-a-car customers' needs. The focus will be on delivering a high level of service, a modern vehicle fleet, and the implementation of CARWIZ standards adapted to the specific characteristics of the local market.

With this strategic step, CARWIZ International continues to build its global network and further strengthens its position as one of the most dynamic international rent-a-car franchise brands.
