Budget Rent-a-Car, one of the world's leading international car and van rental firms, recently made an alliance with Gulf Air to present a brand new 'frequent flyer' programme to clients in the Kingdom.

Passengers with a membership of Gulf Air's frequent flyer programme will gain 500 bonus miles each time they book a vehicle with Budget Budget Rent-a-Car.

All that the passengers need to do to benefit from the offer is to provide their frequent flyer membership number when they book a vehicle and show their membership card at the time of pick up.

Gulf Air's acting commercial officer, Danny Barranger, said, "We continually seek out partners for our Frequent flyer programme that reflect our brand values and further enhance our efforts to become the airline of choice.

Budget is an ideal partner for our members flying throughout the Gulf, Middle East and beyond on Gulf Air".

Commenting on the new partnership, Jill Grinsted, Director of Sales and Marketing at Budget Rent-a-Car, said, "We are absolutely delighted to have secured this partnership with Gulf Air".

She further said, "With over 55 years' experience and the biggest network in the Middle East, the carrier ideally matches our network in the region and beyond, and we are proud to be able to offer their frequent flyer members award miles when booking with Budget".

Budget Rent-a-Car offers its services in eleven Middle Eastern countries with more than 100 locations in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Oman, Bahrain, Arabia, Lebanon, Kuwait, Qatar, Yemen, Syria, Saudi Arabia and UAE.
