Final Rentals, the global car rental marketplace that empowers local rental companies worldwide, has officially launched in Pakistan and is now live at Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad International Airports.
For Founder & CEO Ammar Akhtar, this is more than a new market. It’s personal. It’s home. Born in Karachi, Akhtar describes the moment as “going back in time.”
“From the streets of Karachi to building a global platform serving more than 60 countries, this launch is incredibly emotional for me,” he said. “Final Rentals is now serving Pakistan from our headquarters in Cardiff, and that full-circle journey means everything.”
The idea for Final Rentals came from a frustration he saw firsthand while working in the global car rental industry. Local and independent operators were being pushed aside by multinational brands on major travel platforms. Even when they offered better service and deeper local knowledge, they struggled to be seen.
So instead of accepting that imbalance, he built something different. A global platform with local ownership at its heart.
In the early days, he personally spoke with more than 800 car rental owners around the world, listening to their challenges and sharing one simple vision: bring them together under one brand that supports them, not replaces them. Today, that vision has grown into a fast-moving international network across more than 60 countries.
Launching in Pakistan feels especially meaningful.
The partnership in Pakistan has been secured by Fast Track Travel & Tours and Fast Track Car Rental, one of the country’s leading car rental and mobility providers. Established in 2011 by entrepreneur Ahtsham Ali, the company has built a strong reputation serving airlines, NGOs, and blue-chip corporate clients across Pakistan.
Fast Track shares Finalrentals’ vision for technology, innovation, and globally connected mobility, making the partnership a natural fit. Together, the two companies aim to modernise the car rental experience in Pakistan while creating a seamless bridge between local expertise and global standards.
Commenting on the partnership, Ahtsham Ali said: “This is a very special moment for us, bringing a global car rental brand to Pakistan that was originally created by a Pakistani-origin entrepreneur. We are excited to work with Finalrentals to build a trusted, household name for customers visiting Pakistan from all around the world.”
For the first time, Pakistanis and Overseas Pakistanis can secure a rental car digitally before even boarding their flight. It offers the kind of convenience, transparency and peace of mind that travellers in other markets have long taken for granted, but has rarely been available locally.
“This isn’t just about car rental,” Akhtar added. “It’s about access. Families travel with expectations and tight schedules. Landing in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad knowing your car is already booked changes the whole experience.”
Through Final Rentals, travellers connect with trusted local partners, clear pricing and reliable support. At the same time, Pakistani rental companies gain global exposure, international customers and the chance to compete on a world stage.
As the company continues expanding across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas, this
launch stands out as something special. A global platform returning to where the journey first began. “For me,” Akhtar said, “this is more than a business milestone. It’s proof that you can build something global without losing your roots, and that Pakistan deserves world-class digital travel services.”
