Following continuous growth in international markets, CARWIZ International, the only Croatian car rental franchise, is expanding its presence in Asia by entering the Sri Lanka market, one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in the region.
This new expansion further underscores the brand’s focus on destinations with increasing demand for reliable and flexible mobility solutions, as well as strong international networking.
The local franchise partner in Sri Lanka is Explore Drive Private Limited, with operations focused on the Katunayake area, in close proximity to Bandaranaike International Airport, the main entry point for international travelers arriving in the country. This prime location allows for quick and convenient access to CARWIZ services immediately upon arrival, a key element of the modern car rental experience.
Initially, CARWIZ will operate in Sri Lanka through a Meet & Greet model, including organized shuttle transfers, providing flexible, efficient, and customer-oriented service. This operational approach ensures a high level of adaptability to guest needs while maintaining the recognizable CARWIZ standards of quality and transparency.
“Asia is one of the key regions for our continued growth, and Sri Lanka stands out as a market with significant potential and rising demand for reliable mobility solutions. Proximity to the international airport, strong tourist traffic, and a partner who understands local specifics provide a solid foundation for successful operations. Our goal is to combine local expertise with CARWIZ International’s global operational standards,” said Vladimir Ćućuz, Director of Operations of CARWIZ International.
With the entry into the Sri Lanka market, CARWIZ International further strengthens its Asian network and continues building the position of a globally recognized Croatian brand, successfully connecting international franchise experience with strong local partnerships.
