Ecotrans Car Rentals began on May 19, 1994 with the purchase of a second-hand Mitsubishi L-300 Versa Van from Manila. On May 25, 1994 the first official booking of the company was recorded. initially, convincing clients to patronize the company was difficult considering the limited resources and experience of the company. Complaints received were that our van was old and the aircon was not as strong as in the newer vans. yet, the company overcame these initial hurdles and moved on to bigger projects.
