Finalrentals Recognised on Sifted 100 as Wales’ Only Representative

Finalrentals, the global car rental network transforming the travel and mobility sector, has been recognized on the Sifted 100, a prestigious list of UK and Ireland’s most promising and fastest-growing tech companies. A FinTech Wales member and graduate of the Foundry Programme Season 2, Finalrentals is also the only tech company from Wales to feature on this list.

The Sifted 100 celebrates companies that demonstrate exceptional growth, innovation, international reach, and investor backing. Finalrentals stood out for achieving over 177% year-on-year growth, developing innovative solutions for independent car rental operators, expanding into new markets across multiple continents, and successfully raising funding rounds to support its rapid scaling.

A Proud Milestone for Welsh Innovation

“This is a proud moment for us,” said Ammar Akhtar, Founder and CEO of Finalrentals.

“Being the only Welsh tech company on this list shows that innovation and global ambition are alive and thriving here. It’s a testament to the incredible work of our team and the trust our partners place in us every day.”

Empowering Independent Car Rental Companies Globally

Founded on the vision of creating a truly global network of local and regional car rental operators, Finalrentals addresses a key challenge in the industry: giving smaller businesses visibility on international platforms that have long been dominated by multinational corporations. Through its platform, Finalrentals provides partners with access to a global audience while maintaining their local identity.

Innovation and International Reach

Finalrentals’ expansion has been strategic and ambitious, with operations now spanning Europe, North America, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region. The company’s tech platform enables seamless booking experiences for customers while giving partners advanced tools to manage inventory, pricing, and marketing.

Strong Investor Support

The recognition comes at a time when Finalrentals is scaling rapidly, having recently closed a six-figure Pre-Series A funding round in the UK. With 50% of its third funding round already committed, the company is poised to accelerate its growth across key international markets.
