DDS automates payments for Thrifty, Dollar Car Rental
The partnership between Direct Debit System (DDS), the UAE Central Bank–licensed fintech platform for automated collections, Thrifty Car Rental and Dollar Car Rental, was made to enable remote mandate authorisation, paperless transactions, and faster reconciliation across their nationwide leasing portfolio.With operations spanning all seven emirates and a strong focus on personal, fleet and commercial vehicle leasing, Thrifty and Dollar are two of the largest automobile rental and leasing companies in the UAE. The collaboration with DDS marks a major transformation in the auto rental market.“While direct debit was already a minor part of Thrifty and Dollar’s collections approach, paper-based mandates introduce operational friction at scale,” said Vivek Harikrishnan, Head of Product & COO at Direct Debit System. “By digitising the entire mandate and collection lifecycle using UAE PASS, we have enabled Thrifty to move away from physical paperwork and in-person processes to a fully remote, compliant, and paperless model, while gaining greater visibility and control across fleet, commercial, and long-term lease payments.”Rahul Singh, Managing Director from Thrifty and Dollar Car Rental, commented: “Managing fleet and commercial leasing at scale requires reliability, transparency, and operational efficiency. Digitising our direct debit mandates through UAE PASS has enabled us to streamline recurring lease payments while also automating the recovery of tolls and fines.”
