Blue Bird Group's car rental service puts you at ease

Imagine that your car has engine trouble, breaks down or is involved in an accident while you are rushing to meet a very important guest at a certain hotel. When the car you are in is from PT Pusaka Prima, PT Golden Bird or Thrifty Car Rental, you would not need to worry since any Blue Bird taxi on the road would be ready to pick you up.

"Other car rental companies might take longer to pick you up in such an instance because they would need to send a replacement car from their headquarters to fetch you. But with our Blue Bird taxis all over the city, the waiting time is much shorter. In addition our outlets, which are located at all four and five-star hotels in Jakarta enable us to send you a car of the same class, within a short time," said Kresna Priawan Djokosoetono, director of Pusaka Prima Transport.

Although engine trouble and breakdowns are rare in cars rented by companies under the three car rental companies, the full backing of parent company Blue Bird Group should give more assurance to customers, as the professionalism of Blue Bird Group is beyond doubt.

After gaining the trust of almost all taxi users, Blue Bird Group has expanded its services to car rental. The three car rental companies under its management, Pusaka Prima Transport, Golden Bird and Thrifty Car Rental, have excelled in their specific market segments.

Providing almost all cars and models of your choice, Pusaka Prima Transport is a logical choice for companies that do not want the inconvenience that comes with managing their own cars. In times when companies have to focus more on their core business and make their operations more efficient, Pusaka Prima Transport will handle all of the hassles of owning a car, such as car maintenance, insurance, even managing the fleet operation (dispatching and scheduling) and providing qualified and dependable drivers.

With experienced drivers, well-maintained cars that have not been more than five years on the road, and professional management, Pusaka Prima Transport has all the means to take care of your corporate transportation needs on a monthly or yearly basis.

By renting cars from Pusaka Prima Transport companies can manage their transportation budget on a monthly or annual basis. Therefore, they need not waste precious time and resources due to asset depreciation and asset management that are part of the consequences of owning their own company vehicles.

"Renting cars from Pusaka Prima Transport makes companies more efficient and focused," says Kresna.

With competitive rates, Pusaka Prima Transport is the ideal car rental company for any company that wants to outsource its transportation needs. In short, Pusaka Prima Transport makes renting cars more beneficial than owning cars.

While Pusaka Prima Transport provides car rental services to the corporate sector, Golden Bird has an excellent record of its own in servicing the retail sector. In contrast to the long-term nature of car leasing for the corporate sector, Golden Bird focuses on short-term car rental services on an hourly or daily basis.

"We are providing clients who have special events or guests with a limousine service of superior quality and comfort," says Kresna.

With Golden Bird limousine service, meeting and picking up important guests from the airport or hotel is no longer a headache. Golden Bird, with its superior standards of luxury, comfort and quality service and outlets at all major hotels, will take care of your transportation needs, enabling you to focus solely on your business at hand with your important guest.

Golden Bird is backed by experienced and friendly staff as well as well-trained drivers. The company has the latest models of Japanese and European standard and luxury cars to choose from; all fully insured and well-maintained. The company's outlets in Greater Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya and Bali hotels enable you to access this quality service whenever you travel out of town on business or holidays.

For expatriates or tourists on the tourist island of Bali who are not familiar with locally well-recognized Blue Bird services, the group offers a car rental service under internationally recognized brand Thrifty Car Rental.

Fully owned by Blue Bird Group, Thrifty Car Rental operates under a franchise with internationally recognized Thrifty that operates in over 65 countries and territories. Thrifty quality service is already known throughout North, Central, and South America, Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific.

Providing tourists and foreign visitors with a car rental name that are familiar with is one of the main concerns of Blue Bird Group. With Thrifty Car Rental, a visitors' stay in Bali is more convenient and memorable.

Any visitor to Bali can immediately access the services of Thrifty Car Rental on arrival at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport. Aside from the on-the-spot rental service at the airport, visitors to Bali can also make reservations at its outlets throughout Bali's major hotels.

Blue Bird Group, with over 30 years experience in providing transportation services in Indonesia, as the parent company of Thrifty Car Rental, Pusaka Prima Transport and Golden Bird, provides an assurance and reliability that others cannot match.

With around 1,600 cars for rent in Jakarta, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Bali, Lombok and Palembang, Blue Bird Group has the full support of over 12,000 Blue Bird taxis, an added value for its car rental customers.
