In the rapidly evolving digital age, Fiji has proven its commitment to innovation with the introduction of Rental Fiji, an innovative car marketplace that promises to revolutionise the car rental industry.

Led by visionary entrepreneur, 18-year-old Krishant Sharma, rentals Fiji aims to reshape the way car rental businesses thrive in the digital landscape.

Rentals Fiji’s meticulously designed platform, Rentalsfiji. com, serves as a centralised hub, bringing together Fiji’s entire Rentals car companies under one virtual roof.

Sharma said the inspiration for the website came from his own experience looking for a rental car company in Fiji and realising there wasn’t a single place to go for such information.

He went through the process of calling and comparing rates tedious, which led to the inception of Rentals Fiji.

“We need to capitalize on it as it is always in abundance,” he said.

As a young entrepreneur raised by a single mum, Sharma believes in harnessing the power of the web and digital platforms like Rentalsfiji.com for the benefit of all businesses in Fiji.

“I did not go to university to receive a formal business education.

“I gained significant knowledge through experience and learned as I went on.

“I believe that the traditional education system may not be suitable for everyone, especially free-spirited individuals like me.”

Determined to execute his plans, he took a gamble with his life and has successfully launched his third venture, with more ambitious projects in the pipeline.

His other investments include starting an online shopping platform and a web designing agency for small businesses.

Sharma attributes his business success to his mother, who was a banker and is a businesswoman by profession.

She was his pillar of support and encouraged him to venture into business at such an early age.

Rentals Fiji’s innovative approach ushers in a new era of growth and convenience for Fiji’s car rental industry, benefiting businesses, tourists and locals alike.

As Fiji embraces the digital revolution, initiatives like Rentals Fiji serve as testaments to the youthful entrepreneurial spirit fuelling the country’s economic progress.

With Rentals Fiji leading the way, Fiji’s car rentals industry is poised to embrace transformation and unlock new opportunities.

Sharma said Rentals Fiji played a crucial role in facilitating exploration of the country by providing a platform that offered visitors a seamless and convenient booking experience when it came to rental cars, ensuring a memorable trip while visiting our beautiful island.

The Rentals Fiji marketplace will boast a diverse ecosystem of rental car vendors, ensuring a wide selection of vehicles for prospective renters to choose from.

With its user-friendly interface and intuitive navigation, the platform streamlines the booking process, allowing renters to effortlessly explore and compare rentals from multiple vendors.

Simultaneously, vendors enjoy a hassle-free onboarding experience, making Rentals Fiji an enticing platform for industry players.

Since its soft launch in May this year, Rentals Fiji had witnessed a remarkable surge in website traffic and social media engagement.

Sharma anticipates strong growth for Rentals Fiji in the future and has ambitions to streamline the reservation process and forge strategic partnerships with key stakeholders in the booming tourism industry.

He urges vendors from across the country to participate in the Rental Fiji marketplace.
