The challenge

Our client is one of the world’s largest transportation solutions providers. It offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions, including car and van hire, carsharing, vanpooling, and specialised vehicle rental such as HGVs, temperature-controlled vehicles and accessible minibuses. Its parent company employs more than 100,000 people, operates more than 10,000 branches worldwide, and has a fleet of 2 million vehicles.

As a company that operates internationally, our client needs to support its multilingual staff with watertight car rental agreements in multiple languages.

Our client also strengthens its global presence as a vehicle rental provider at various airport locations. Commercial spaces at popular destinations come at a premium, and so our client regularly participates in tenders to win lucrative contracts at these sites. The proposal writing process involves translating persuasive arguments regarding the company’s pricing structure, fleet, sustainability initiatives and marketing efforts, as well as detailed responses to RFPs in relation to deliverables, service level agreements, governance models, compliance and reporting.

Our client was looking for a trusted translation partner with experience in legal matters that could support its wide-ranging translation needs and meet its challenging timelines.
