Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company Description
This Enterprise helps customers boldly go where they might not have gone before they rented a fresh set of wheels. A leading US car rental company, Enterprise Rent-A-Car maintains a fleet of about 714,000 vehicles from more than 7,000 locations -- some 6,000 in the US and another 900 in Canada, Germany, Ireland, and the UK. Unlike rivals Hertz and Avis, which operate primarily from airports, Enterprise focuses on customers whose own cars are in the shop or who need a rental for vacations or other special occasions. But it's venturing more into airports, as Enterprise acquired competitor Vanguard Car Rental. The company is run by chairman and CEO Andrew Taylor, whose father, Jack Taylor, founded the firm in 1957.
