Garenta:New generation transportation solutions
About Us
Garenta, a brand under the Anadolu Group, provides innovative transportation solutions with a strong commitment to customer satisfaction for those seeking car rental services.
In 2014, Garenta revolutionized the industry by launching its initial short-term rental service. Then, in 2016, Garenta consolidated the fleet operations of Çelik Motor, one of Türkiye’s pioneering companies in the automotive sector, into its own operations. Operating with a “next generation” service approach in car rental, Garenta has established itself as the leading brand in the industry, thanks to its commitment to high customer satisfaction.
Garenta, Türkiye’s 100% domestically-owned corporate car rental brand, supports both individual and corporate customers through its extensive fleet of cars, city and airport offices, solution-oriented approach, and dependable, transparent services. With a significant expansion of its dealership network in late 2019, Garenta has further solidified its presence across Türkiye and provides the convenience of booking rental cars through its mobile application and corporate website.
Garenta tailors its short-term car rental services to cater to the specific requirements of its corporate clients, all while providing comfort, convenience, and attractive benefits to its individual customers.
Continuing its investments in technology and digitalization, Garenta remains at the forefront of transportation trends, consistently introducing innovative solutions that set it apart in the industry.
