Drivalia, a pan-European leader in automotive rental, leasing, and mobility services and part of the Crédit Agricole Auto Bank Group, continues to grow its presence in the UK with the opening of a new Mobility Store at Newcastle International Airport.
This latest expansion is made possible through a new franchise agreement with RDT Enterprise Ltd, a well-established independent rental operator based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The collaboration brings together Drivalia’s innovative mobility solutions and RDT’s strong local market expertise to deliver a high-quality rental experience to customers in the Northeast.
The new store marks a key milestone in Drivalia’s UK growth strategy, reinforcing the company’s ambition to become a leading mobility provider across all major regions of the country.
Paolo Ronco, Deputy Managing Director of Drivalia UK, commented: “We’re proud to extend our network to Newcastle, a strategic hub into the Northeast. Moreover, the partnership with RDT Enterprise allows us to immediately offer a strong and reliable service to local and visiting customers. This strategic collaboration ensures we can hit the ground running, and we’re confident that this location will thrive. The timing of our launch is ideal, perfectly aligning with the busy Easter period ahead.”
