A Vision of Compassionate Leadership 

Jasbir Bassi's journey from a small Karama office in 1997 to leading the Car Fare Group, a major U.A.E. car rental brand with over 3,000 vehicles, is a powerful story of resilience and vision. Her path was shaped by her background as the daughter of an Indian Army officer and the wife of a prominent businessman, Mr. K. S. Bassi, instilling in her a unique blend of discipline and entrepreneurial courage.

 

Leading Car Fare to Market Leadership

Car Fare has completed more than 25 years of success and growth in the U.A.E. They operate as the Car Fare Group, which comprises RENT-A-CAR, WORKSHOP, AUTO DETAILING, and USED CAR divisions. Starting off with a modest fleet of 5 cars and a single outlet, our fleet size now boasts over 3,000 cars with multiple locations across the U.A.E. Jasbir says we humbly state that CAR FARE is a brand to reckon with. We are an organic, home-grown local entity with a stand-alone position in the market, competing head-on with international and other well-known brands. We remain strong and committed to keeping our space secured always.
