Comments from Officials
Commenting on this initiative, Ameen Mamlouk, an executive at Amazon for the Middle East and North Africa, stated: "The launch of Amazon home services last year aimed to empower our customers to easily book everything they need from carefully selected local service providers, as simply as purchasing products from Amazon UAE. As we continue to innovate to provide the best services for our customers, we have added a digital car rental service to Amazon home services, allowing them to receive their chosen vehicle from home within a short period of no more than three hours, thus providing alternative options to traditional rental methods and eliminating the need to wait in lines or travel to collect the car or pay a large security deposit."
