First Car Rental has entered into a preferred partnership with The Capital Hotels and Apartments.
First Car Rental's Executive Head of Strategy, Development and Marketing, Melissa Nortje, says: "This partnership is an unequivocal meeting of minds aligned to our business strategies, and a perfect fit within existing travel partners such as FlySafair, the most on-time airline in the world. I believe, together, we fulfil an efficient and affordable travel partnership, ideal for both the corporate and leisure sector, extending a first-class travel solution covering air and ground transportation as well as accommodation. The real deal."
Nadine Damen, Director of Marketing for The Capital Hotels and Apartments, adds: "We give travellers everything they need, and nothing they don't. We offer value-added services that business travellers really appreciate such as complimentary high-speed WiFi, complimentary secure parking, and laundry services. Much like First Car Rental's corporate quick check-out facility called Show&Go, which guarantees fast, effortless car hire, we have eliminated the unnecessary and focus on the things that really matter without compromising the guest experience."
The Capital Hotels and Apartments has numerous properties across South Africa, including eight apartment hotels: The Capital Empire, The Capital On The Park, The Capital 20 West, and The Capital Moloko, in Sandton; The Capital Menlyn Maine in Pretoria; The Capital On Bath in Rosebank; The Capital Mirage in Cape Town; and, in Umhlanga, The Capital Pearls.
Managing Director of the group, Marc Wachsberger, says he has started looking at countries in southern Africa. "We aim to open two new properties every year, expanding to all the major cities across South Africa. We also have plans to expand into Southern Africa soon.”
