Jimmy Fitzpatrick has succeeded in creating a boutique rental car provider with a focus on a fleet of new vehicles, a 'no tricks' rental policy and reliable and very personable service.

"I'm so proud that we received this year's award," says Jimmy. "The times since Hurricane Irma were not easy for us. We had lost most of our cars and had to build a new fleet."

Leisure Car Rental is located very close to the terminal of Princess Juliana International Airport, actually within easy walking distance. But of course, the Leisure representatives will pick clients and their luggage up at the airport. The tiny distance from the airport translates into minimal time to process the formalities.

Leisure Car Rental NV was established in 2007 in St. Maarten. Over the years, they have opened branches on French St. Martin, and the Nature Isle Dominica.

Their main focus has always been to achieve and maintain 100% customer satisfaction! Their hard work and dedication definitely paid off at the 27th Annual World Travel Awards, held on January 20, 2020, in Nassau, Bahamas.

World Travel Awards serves to acknowledge, reward, and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the global travel and tourism industry. World Travel Awards™ was established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward, and celebrate excellence across all key sectors of the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries. Today, the World Travel Awards™ brand is recognized globally as the ultimate hallmark of industry excellence.

This year's event was well attended by Tourism-related companies from all over the Caribbean!

Leisure Car Rental was nominated for four international awards, and successfully brought home three! The nominations were:

St. Maarten's Leading Car Rental
St. Martin's Leading Car Rental
Dominica's Leading Car Rental
Caribbean's Leading Car Rental

They won all except The 'Caribbean's Leading Car Rental'. If all goes according to plan, they hope to bring this one home next year as well.

Managing Director Jimmy Fitzpatrick had this to say "It's definitely an honor and privilege to be recognized year after year by such a prestigious organization. But this is not just a win for me. Teamwork works! And that's always been my motto. I want to thank my team for always going above and beyond to ensure all of our clients are 100% satisfied."

This is not the first time Leisure Car Rental has been won at the World Travel Awards. In fact, this is the fourth year the company has won multiple awards at this prestigious event. So, award winning is nothing new to this company. In 2013 Jacqueline Fitzpatrick-Joseph brought home the Auto Rental News Professional of the Year Award, presented by American Express!

Leisure Car Rental is located on Airport Road, in Simpson Bay! So now you know where to go, if Customer Service is important to you!
