Volvo Construction Equipment Rents last week announced the opening of a new Volvo Rents equipment rental franchise in Donna, Texas, near McAllen. This is the company’s fifth rental center in the state; others are in Houston, Austin, McKinney and San Antonio.

Garcia-Sanchez Enterprises, llc, owned by franchise principal Osvaldo Garcia Jr., will open its first Volvo Rents center at the end of this month. The new Volvo Rents center, an independently owned and operated franchise, will carry, in addition to Volvo construction equipment, a comprehensive line of essential equipment and tools for the construction, commercial, industrial and homeowner markets.

The Volvo Rents franchise program, designed by Volvo CE, covers all aspects of an operating business model. Features include use of the Volvo brand, financial assistance, a fleet purchasing program for non-Volvo products, a Volvo Rents proprietary software program, operational support and guidance, comprehensive training in systems, sales, service, and management as well as facility design and regional and local marketing.

Volvo Rents has 67 equipment rental centers open in North America and 62 centers in Europe. Based in Asheville, N.C., Volvo Rents is No. 15 on the RER 100.
